Abstract: The invention relates to compositions of ?,?-branched alkane carboxylic acids glycidyl esters which derived from rosin and or hydrogenated rosin reacted with an epihalohydrin. The above glycidyl esters compositions can be used for example, as monomer in binder compositions for paints or adhesives, as reactive diluent or as acid scavenger. This invention is also about the uses of rosin and or hydrogenated rosin glycidyl ester in combinations with polyester polyols, or acrylic polyols, or polyether polyols.

Abstract: This invention relates to a Waterborne Polyurethane Dispersions (WPU) derived from the reaction products of tertiary alkyl glycidyl esters based hydroxyl terminal polyester polyols with polyisocyanates and chain extended with poly-functional amines and dispersed in water have shown the surprising inherent ability for self-coalescence. Furthermore the cured films have shown improved hardness and abrasion resistance over these benchmarks with a significant reduction in coalescing solvent needed to accomplish film formation.
