Abstract: The invention relates to copolymers containing carboxyl groups and having an acid number of 20 to 150 mg of KOH/g and a number average molecular weight of 2000 to 8000, which can preferably be prepared from copolymers containing hydroxyl groups by reaction with carboxylic anhydrides, to a process for their preparation and their use in coating agents. The copolymers contain a vinyl ester, a vinyl aromatic, a hydroxyalkyl ester of an .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated carboxylic acid, and optionally other monomers that may contain acid groups.
Abstract: A process for the production of a multi-layer paint coating in which base paints are employed which contain 5 to 20% by weight of crosslinked polymer microparticles, 2 to 15% by weight of a cellulose ester and 5 to 20% by weight of an epoxidized fatty acid ester, the weight percentages relating to the total content of nonvolatile constituents, excluding pigments and inorganic fillers, and the cellulose ester being so selected that a solution of 15 parts by weight of the cellulose ester in 85 parts by weight of a 9:1 mixture of acetone and ethanol at 23.degree. C. has a viscosity of 200 to 600 mPa.s.
