Patent number: 4322459Abstract: The invention is directed to resins which are the reaction product of an amino or mercapto substituted azole and a polyepoxide wherein the ratio of equivalents of the azole to the polyepoxide is from about 0.5:1.0 to about 1.5:1.0, preferably from about 0.9:1.0 to about 1.1:1.0. The resins can be acid or base solulized depending on whether amino or mercapto substituted azoles were used in their preparation. The invention is also directed to storage stable compositions which cure at relatively low temperatures in short periods of time comprising specified amounts of the resin containing azole-functionality, polyepoxides, organic solvents, and optionally pigments and additives.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 1980Date of Patent: March 30, 1982Assignee: PPG Industries, Inc.Inventors: Nicholas T. Castellucci, John S. Ostrowski, John F. Grunewalder

Patent number: 4308356Abstract: Resin-forming polyepoxides are mixed with polyoxazolidinyl compounds or polymers containing pendant oxazolidinyl groups in which the carbon atom in the 2-position of the heterocyclic ring is substituted with saturated hydrocarbon groups, such as dialkyl, or with an alkylene group forming a saturated ring with the carbon atom in the 2-position of the oxazolidinyl ring to form, in the absence of water, a stable composition which can be stored in closed containers for months without undergoing gelation. When such compositions are spread into films and the films exposed to moisture at ambient temperature, e.g., to ambient air having a relative humidity of at least 20% and temperature of about 15.degree. to 25.degree. C., the polymer serves to react with and cure the polyepoxide.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 1980Date of Patent: December 29, 1981Assignee: Rohm and Haas CompanyInventors: William D. Emmons, Wayne E. Feely

Patent number: 4255299Abstract: A polymer containing perfluoroalkyl group in its side chain which is an addition reaction product of a polymer having the following general formula: ##STR1## wherein R is phenyl group or alkoxyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, R.sup.1 is alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, and n is an integer of 10 to 2,000, with an epoxy compound selected from the group consisting of ##STR2## wherein R.sub.f is perfluoroalkyl group having 3 to 20 carbon atoms and R.sup.2 is alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, the addition reaction product containing 0.1 to 50% by mole of the group derived from the epoxy compound having the formulae (IIa) to (IIc) per 1 mole of the recurring unit of the polymer having the formula (I). The polymer is good in compatibility with film-forming resins and solvents and improves the leveling property of a coating composition when incorporated thereinto and the surface smoothness of the film obtained from the composition.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 1979Date of Patent: March 10, 1981Assignee: Daikin Kogyo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shigeo Daimon, Kazuo Okamura

Patent number: RE32261Abstract: Solid copolymers are produced by copolymerizing a mixture of: (A) at least 30% by weight of a monomer having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is H or CH.sub.3 and R.sub.2 is an alkyl radical containing from 1 to 14 carbon atoms; (B) from 3 to 20% by weight of an ethylenic .alpha.,.beta. unsaturated carboxylic acid or anhydride thereof, or from 3 to 40% by weight of glycidyl acrylate or glycidyl methacrylate; and (C) from 0 to 67% by weight of a monomer copolymerizable with said monomers (A) and (B). Preferably, the mixture is first bulk-polymerized until conversion to the copolymer is from 10 to 80% by weight and the polymerization is completed by suspension-polymerization. Thermosetting solid coating compositions are produced by mixing a major proportion of a solid copolymer so produced with a minor proportion of a cross-linking compound or with an epoxy resin containing at least 2 epoxy radicals in the molecule in presence of a tertiary amine curing accelerator.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 1979Date of Patent: October 7, 1986Assignee: Mitsui Toatsu Chemicals, IncorporatedInventors: Kuniomi Hirota, Akio Masumoto, Hiroshi Ozawa, Nobuki Kobayashi, Teruo Honda
