  • Carboxy modified vinyl ester urethane resins
    Patent number: 4506055
    Abstract: Carboxy terminated vinylester urethane polymers are useful as a thickening agent for sheet molding compositions when reacted with metal oxide which comprises a compound having the general formula:B--I[A--M--A--M].sub.n --CO.sub.2 HwhereinB is a radical derived from a hydroxyl-terminated ester of acrylic or methacrylic acid;I is a radical derived from an aromatic polyisocyanate;A is a radical derived from polyoxyalkylene bisphenol A or derivative thereof;M is a radical derived from a dicarboxylic acid or anhydride thereof;n is an integer equal to from 1 to about 10.The polymer is employed as a thickening agent in systems containing vinylmonomer and other ethylenically unsaturated resins.
