Abstract: The invention relates to an emulsifiable catalyst composition which comprises at least one of metal salts, metal complexes, and acids, and at least one amphiphilic compound which is a graft copolymer based on oils or diene homo-and copolymers that bear graft branches derived from olefinically unsaturated monomers, and an average, per molecule, of at least one cationic group or cationogenic group that forms cations when contacted with an acid, to a process for its preparation, and a method of use thereof as catalyst in aqueous coating compositions.

Abstract: The invention relates to titanium compounds ABC comprising tetravalent titanium A, a moiety derived from a glycol B by removing two hydrogen atoms from hydroxyl groups, and a moiety derived from an N-alkylol-?-hydroxyamine C synthesised by reacting a ?-hydroxyamine C12 with an aldehyde C3, to a process for their preparation, and to a method of use thereof as a curing catalyst in coating compositions.
