    Abstract: The invention relates to a polyester resin which is based on at least one fatty acid, with a zero oil length (0%) or an oil length of between 0 and 35%, with a weight ratio of oxidizable fatty acids (monoacids), relative to the overall fatty acids, of 0 or greater than 0 and ranging up to 1, and which is based on an acid component comprising, in addition to said fatty acid, from 30% to 85% by weight, relative to the total weight of said resin, of rosin and/or of derivatives thereof bearing at least one carboxylic acid function. The resin of the invention is used as binder in coatings and in particular in water-based coatings such as paints, varnishes and surface coatings, in the form of an aqueous dispersion of resin, with particular performance in terms of aqueous dispersibility, development of hardness over time in the absence of siccativating agent during drying, and of resistance to yellowing and to water.

  • Publication number: 20130177711
    Abstract: A thermoplastic polymer advanceable by solid state polymerization is blended with at least one dissimilar thermoplastic polymer, or an organic or inorganic particulate filler. The blend is solid state polymerized to provide a modified polymer alloy or filled polymer blend having at least one physical or chemical property different from that of the blend before solid state polymerization. A substrate is coated with an adherent layer of the modified polymer alloy or filled polymer blend. The modified polymer alloy or filled polymer blend may also be coextruded with a layer of thermoplastic extrusion polymer having a melt viscosity similar to that of the modified polymer alloy or filled polymer blend and applied to a substrate to form an adherent coating.
