Abstract: Coating compositions having a high degree of elasticity, as well as toughness, durability and good metallic pigment pattern control are disclosed. This combination of properties makes the coatings particularly desirable for use on elastomeric substrates such as those associated with automobiles. The coating compositions comprise as a resinous component, an ungelled hydroxyl-containing polyester of high weight average molecular weight. The polyesters can be cured with a curative such as an aminoplast to give coatings having outstanding elastomeric properties and good pigment dispersibility, particularly good metallic pigment pattern control, properties not normally associated with polyesters for use in coating applications.

Abstract: A wire coating powder is prepared by first formulating a solventless, aromatic polyester-amide-imide which is the reaction product of an aromatic diamine, an aromatic compound consisting of trimellitic anhydride, acid, or acid halide, and about 35 to about 100 mole % in excess of the stoichiometric amount needed to react with said aromatic compound of polyol.A coating powder is prepared by hot melt mixing, cooling, and grinding a mixture of the polyester-amide-imide with straight polyester and a reactive solid or liquid aromatic monomer or prepolymer.
Abstract: An economical and environmentally advantageous process for the continuous manufacture of unsaturated polyesters, wherein the vapors formed during the polycondensation are purified, in a two-part distillation column, to a degree where the residual content of organic starting materials is less than 1.5 percent by weight, based on the total weight of the effluent, and the unconverted starting materials are recycled to the process.

Abstract: A novel polyester type powder coating composition which includes a specific self-hardening polyester of air-hardening type comprising as main ester-constituting monomer units, (1) at least one polycarboxylic acid component containing at least 10 mole %, based on the polycarboxylic acid component, of at least one aromatic polycarboxylic acid component (A) and (2) at least one polyhydric alcohol component, having in its main chain at least one terminal blocked with a monofunctional unsaturated alicyclic compound component (B) and having a softening point of 30.degree. to 150.degree. C. This composition is excellent in storage stability and adaptability to either thin coating or thick coating, and when it is applied onto an article to be coated and baked at a temperature of 170.degree. to 230.degree. C. for 5 to 30 minutes, a coating excellent in appearance, mechanical strength, gloss and reflection sharpness can be formed advantageously without generating undesired gases at the baking.
Abstract: I disclose thermosetting unsaturated polyesters which I produce from a mixture of glycols and oligomers. The mixture is a waste stream from a process for the production of linear polyesters from glycols and terephthalic acid. Prior to this invention, the waste stream had to be burned or buried. Now I can make useful polyester resins from them.
Abstract: Polyester polymers consisting essentially of ester condensation products of specific proportions of propylene glycol, adipic and fumaric acids, isophthalic acid and halogenated phthalic anhydride, and cured resins containing such polymers. The polymers are particularly useful in high performance matrices for fiber composites requiring properties including a combination of high heat deflection temperature and high tensile elongation.
Abstract: A thermoplastic copolyester is formed of at least one aromatic dicarboxylic acid member, at least one aliphatic dicarboxylic acid member (an alkyl- or alkenyl-substituted succinic acid or anhydride thereof), and at least one C.sub.2 -C.sub.10 glycol. Particularly preferred copolyesters are those wherein at least one non-polymeric polyfunctional member is added to the base copolyester composition to function as a chain-extender therefor. The resultant copolyester is useful as an adhesive both by itself and as an ingredient of hot melt or solution adhesive formulations.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a process for preparing aqueous dispersions from solid polymer precursors which are polyester or polyurethane oligomers containing both hydrophilic centers and cross-linking sites and subsequently coating substrates with the thus obtained dispersions. The aqueous dispersion is applied to a substrate and dried with resultant cross-linking of the film.
Abstract: An unsaturated, branched hydroxyester resin produced by the esterification of a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic or aromatic dicarboxylic acid with a mixture comprising about 75 - 97 mole percent of a bivalent alcohol and about 25 - 3 mole percent of a multifunctional alcohol having at least three hydroxy groups, said hydroxyester resin having a hydroxyl number of about 30 - 110, is employed in the production of quick hardening powder enamels capable of forming plastic coatings.
Abstract: The invention relates to a resin composition that is curable by ultra-violet light, which composition comprises(a) 10 to 99.7 percent by weight of a polyester that contains .alpha., .beta.-ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid radicals and .beta.,.gamma.-ethylenically unsaturated ether groupings, and(b) 0.3 to 10 percent by weight of a photoinitiator.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for inhibiting in a polymerization reaction crosslinking of photocrosslinkable condensation homopolymers and copolymers by use of a synergistic inhibitor composition comprising specified amounts of a hindered phenolic compound and a phosphoric acid ester in the presence of monomers from which said homopolymers and copolymers are formed. Residue from the inhibitor composition remains in the polymeric product and serves as a stabilizer against heat deterioration and premature crosslinking of the product during recovery and storage. The stabilized homopolymers and copolymers are useful for manufacture of radiation sensitive elements. Photographic elements formed from the stabilized condensation polymers are particularly useful as lithographic plates.
