Abstract: The polyglycidamides are epoxy derivatives of cyclic ureas such as glycouril and aminotriazines such as melamine and guanamines. They are prepared from cyclic ureas and aminotriazines by methylolating with formaldehyde, etherifying with an alcohol, transetheramidizing with acrylamide and epoxidizing with hydrogen peroxide. They are used with polyamines and other epoxy reactive oligomers to provide crosslinkable coating systems which posses solvent, chemical and water resistance and UV stability.
