Abstract: A cross-linked graft polyester comprising the reaction product of an aminoplast and a graft polyester, said graft polyester comprising the reaction product of (1) an unsaturated polyester which is the reaction product of at least one polycarboxylic acid reactant, preferably a dicarboxylic acid reactant and at least one polyhydric alcohol reactant, preferably a diol, wherein a minor effective proportion of at least one of said reactants is .alpha.,.beta.-ethylenically unsaturated with (2) at least one monovinyl monomer reactant comprising at least one acidic monovinyl monomer containing at least one carboxyl group or a mixture of said vinyl monomer with any monovinyl monomer.

Abstract: An aqueous coating composition containing in admixture a water soluble polyester, a water soluble orthoamic acid diamine and minor amounts of other water soluble polymeric coating materials. The water soluble orthoamic acid diamine is prepared by reacting in a suitable solvent for at least one reactant, an aromatic diamine and an aromatic dianhydride with the reactants in the molar ratio of m/(m-1) respectively, where m has a value between 2 and about 7. The diamine is dissolved in a solvent and the dianhydride is slowly added to the solution to form the orthoamic acid diamine. The reaction is carried out at a temperature below that at which imidization occurs. The reaction product may then be made water soluble by the addition of a volatile base such as ammonia or a volatile amine. Water solutions of polyester resins and the orthoamic acid diamine are utilized to produce coatings on substrates such as magnet wire.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of aqueous dispersions or solutions of polyurethanes which have urea end groups and contain non-ionic hydrophilic segments and which are capable of being cross-linked with the aid of cross-linking agents which are reactive with urea groups, characterized in that prepolymers which have isocyanurate end groups and which(i) have an average molecular weight of less than about 15,000 and(ii) contain from about 2 to 30%, by weight, of ethylene oxide units corresponding to the following formula:--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --O--within a polyether chain (containing ethylene oxide units)are reacted at from about 10.degree. to 70.degree. C.

Abstract: In a liquid coating composition comprising a small amount of solvent or no solvent, a binder and optionally conventional auxiliary agents, wherein the binder consists essentially of:(A) 45-10% by weight of an aminoplast, the low molecular weight precursors thereof, or mixtures thereof; and(B) 55-90% by weight of an at least difunctional polyester or a mixture of such polyesters; wherein the polyester component B has been produced by the condensation of a conventional alcohol component I with an acid component III, wherein component III consists essentially of a mixture of:III.1 67-92 molar percent of hexahydroterephthalic acid or a lower alkyl ester thereof; andIII.
