Abstract: The invention is directed to aqueous coating composition comprising A) at least one water-dilutable (meth)acrylate copolymer and B) at least one polyisocyanate cross-linking agent with free isocyanate groups, wherein the (meth)acrylate copolymer comprise a) 10-80% by weight of at least one reaction product of a monoepoxyester and an unsaturated acid functional monomer b) 0-40% by weight of at least one hydroxy functional unsaturated monomer which is different from component a), c) 1-8% by weight of at least one unsaturated acid functional monomer and d) 0-70% by weight of at least one other polymerisable unsaturated monomer, wherein the % by weight of components A) and B) and of components a) to d) is adding up to 100% by weight and wherein the (meth)acrylate copolymer is prepared by a skew feed polymerization process with at least two feed streams and wherein one feed stream comprises the main quantity, namely 60-100% by weight of component a), based on the total amount of component a) and the lower amount,

Abstract: A process for the production of polyurethane di(meth)acrylates in which 1,6-hexane diisocyanate is reacted, without solvent and without subsequent purification operations, with a diol component and hydroxy-C2-C4-alkyl (meth)acrylate in the molar ratio x:(x?1):2, wherein x means any desired value from 2 to 5 and the diol component is a combination of two to four (cyclo)aliphatic diols with molar masses of 62 to 600 and wherein each of the diols constitutes at least 10 mol % of the diols of the diol component and powder coating compositions having the polyurethane di(meth)acrylates as a binder.
