Abstract: The invention concerns a two-stage method for the preparation of aqueous, self-crosslinking copolymer dispersions made from acrylate copolymers having acetoacetyl and carboxylic groups. The copolymers are neutralized with polyamines which act as crosslinking agents. These copolymers are useful in paints as binders that crosslink at room temperature or at elevated temperatures.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for preparing water-dilutable, acrylate copolymer-based lacquer binders. A polycarboxylic component is reacted with an epoxide group-containing polyhydroxylic component, and the carboxylic groups are then at least partially neutralized. As epoxide group-containing monomers for the polyhydroxylic components, glycidyl(meth)acrylate and/or glycidylallylether are used in proportions from 0.1 to 3% by weight. Associated with cross-linking components and if required with other lacquer binders, these lacquer binders are suitable for producing water-dilutable baking enamels with a low auxiliary organic solvent content.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for preparing water-dilutable enamel paint binders based on oligourethane-acrylate copolymers. A specific monomer mixture is polymerized in the presence of a water-insoluble oligourethane obtained by reacting an aliphatic ester diol with a diisocyanate. Water dilutability is achieved by using (meth)acrylic acid. These enamel paint binders are used in combination with cross-linking components and if required other enamel paint binders to formulate baking enamels.

Abstract: The invention concerns a process for preparing water-dilutable, air-drying coating binders based on acryl and vinyl modified alkyd resin emulsions. The latter contain polyoxyalkylene groups introduced via specific (meth)acrylate monomers and are highly suitable as binders for high gloss coating varnishes even without the use of cosolvents.
