Abstract: This invention is directed to polymers (including oligomers) that contain (N-substituted carbamoyloxy)alkanoyloxyalkyl acrylates, to a process for their preparation by reacting the carbamoyloxy alkanoyloxyalkyl acrylates with themselves, with lactone acrylates, and/or with other ethylenically unsaturated monomers, and to coating, ink, adhesive, and sealant compositions (including the cured coatings, inks, adhesives, and sealants) that are obtained by curing the above compositions by various means. The cured compositions, which are, for example, high-quality industrial finishes, sealants or encapsulants, are preferably made by incorporation of various conventional crosslinking agents and other normally-used formulating ingredients with the polymeric compositions of the invention.

Abstract: Curable compositions based on (N-substituted carbamoyloxy)alkanoyloxyalkyl acrylate polymers. When cured the compositions are, for example, high-quality industrial finishes, sealants or encapsulants.

Abstract: This invention is directed to high solids coating compositions comprising a hydroxyl functional acrylic polymer, an alkylolated melamine and, as a reactive diluent, a polycaprolactone polyol, wherein the ratio of the equivalent weight of the alkylolated melamine to the total hydroxyl equivalent weight of the hydroxyl functional acrylic polymer and the polycaprolactone polyol is from about 0.8 to about 2.5. The high solids coating compositions have utility as automotive finishes, appliance finishes, general metal finishing and the like.

Abstract: The total solids and viscosity of high solids coating compositions containing hydroxyl functional acrylic copolymer base resins are decreased by incorporating up to about 30% by weight of a mixture of reactive diluents. The reactive diluents are a mixture of a reactive acrylic oligomer and a polycaprolactone hexol.

Abstract: Epoxy coatings containing polyoxyalkyleneamines provide improved adhesion when applied to minimally cleaned, corroded metal surfaces.

Abstract: Described herein is a process for the polymerization of a reactive monomer derived from the reaction product of a hydroxyalkyl acrylate or methacrylate and a lactone with other ethylenically unsaturated monomers. The resulting polymeric compositions can be made into high quality industrial finishes by incorporation of various conventional crosslinking agents, plus other normally used formulating ingredients.
