Abstract: A composition of matter resistant to foaming comprising a hydrocarbon oil and an acrylate copolymer dispersed in the said hydrocarbon oil, which acrylated copolymer contains at last one polymerised fluorinated (meth)acrylate monomer wherein not more than three neighbouring carbon atoms in the said fluorinated (meth)acrylate monomer carry one or more fluorine substituents.

Abstract: Disclosed are alkyd resin emulsions for coating varnishes, containing a water-insoluble alkyd resin A and a water-soluble alkyd resin B that is used as an emulsifying resin and represents an esterification product of an alkyd resin Ba which can be homogeneously mixed with the alkyd resin A at a weight ratio (Ba to A) ranging between 2:98 and 50:50, alkyd resin A being the resin that is to be emulsified, and an adduct Bb of a C1-C4 alkoxy polyethylene glycol Bba and a cycloaliphatic dicarboxylic acid anhydride Bbb at a mole ration (Bba to Bbb) ranging between 09.95:1.05 mol/mol and 1.05:0.95 mol/mol. Also disclosed is a method for the production thereof, the use thereof for coating substrates selected among textiles, mineral materials, metals, and wood.
