A water-dispersible polymer and a coating composition containing the water- dispersible polymer are disclosed. The water-dispersible polymer is prepared from: (a) an epoxy compound having about two epoxy group s, such as an epoxy resin; (b) a linking compound having (i) conjugated carbon-carbon double bonds or a carbon-carbon triple bond and (ii) a moiety capable of reacting with an epoxy group, such as sorbic acid; and (c) acrylic monomers, at least a portion of which are capable of rendering the polymer water dispersible, such as acrylic acid, wherein the epoxy portion (a) of the polymer is covalently linked to t he polymerized acrylic portion (c) by linking compound (b). The coating composition contains the water-dispersible polymer, a fugitive base to solubilize the polymer, a curing agent, and a carrier containing water.
