<p>Disclosed is a water-dispersible acrylic-modified polyester resin containing sulfonate groups prepared by addition copolymerization of ethylenically unsaturated vinyl monomers and a polyester. The polyester is prepared from a polycondensation reaction with dicarboxylic acids, glycols, ethylenically unsaturated monomer, and a minor amount of a sulfomonomer. The acrylic-modified polyester is preparated by first producing the polyester under polycondensation conditions followed by the addition polymerization of the ethylenically unsaturated vinyl monomers. The acrylic-modified polyesters can be formed into a coating composition that has zero or very little organic solvent and is very useful to produce crosslinked cured enamels having excellent gloss, hardness, impact resistance, and water resistance such as those used in automotive finishes, appliance, and coil coatings.</p> |
