Abstract: An emulsifier composition for water-dilutable epoxy resins comprise condensation products of an aliphatic polyol component having a weight-average molar mass (M.sub.w) of from 200 to 20,000 g/mol, where a mass fraction of at least 5%, has a weight-average molar mass (M.sub.w) of at least 4000 g/mol, and an epoxide component having of at least one epoxide compound having at least two epoxide groups per molecule and an epoxide group content of from 500 to 10,000 mmol/kg, the ratio of the number of hydroxyl groups to that of the epoxide groups (OH):(EP) being from 1:3.51 to 1:10. When the emulsifier is used for the preparation of aqueous epoxy resin systems, the end of the pot life is indicated by a sharp rise in viscosity.

Abstract: Polyol/epoxy adducts obtained by reaction of(A) an aliphatic polyol having an average molecular weight (Mw) of 200 to 2000 and(B) an epoxy compound having at least two epoxy groups per molecule and an epoxy equivalent weight of 100 to 2000,the equivalent ratio of the OH groups to the epoxy groups being 1:3.51 to 1:10, preferably 1:4 to 1:9, particularly preferably 1:45 to 1:8, and the epoxy equivalent weight of the adduct being between 150 g/eq and at least 800 g/eq, preferably between 250 g/eq and 1000 g/eq which adducts serve as nonionic emulsifiers in water-dilutable epoxy liquid resins.

Abstract: Crosslinked polymer microparticles based on epoxy resin obtained by polymerization of aqueous dispersions (A) of compounds containing epoxide groups in the presence of up to 0.2 mol, preferably 0.02 to 0.15 mol (based on the nitrogen contained in (B)) of a nitrogen-containing organic compound (B) per epoxide equivalent and subsequent isolation which are preferably in the form of aqueous dispersions thereof, and are suitable as organic fillers, pigments, matting agents and/or reinforcing agents for binder systems and individual components thereof, paint formulations, coating and molding compositions, intermediate coatings, adhesives and the like, preferably based on water.
