Stabilized non-polymeric acetoacetate esters that promote adhesion to metallic and oxidized substrates

摘要

The present invention provides improved adhesion promoters for latex paints. The adhesion promoters are enamines of acetoacetate esters, or substituted acetoacetate esters. The invention also provides two new compounds which are useful as adhesion promoters: 2-butyl-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol bis(3-amino-2-butenoate) and trimethyl propane tris(3-amino-2-butenoate), and which are stable to hydrolysis on prolonged storage.
