Aqueous thermosetting coating compositions adapted for roll coat application are disclosed in which water has dispersed therein an adduct of a diglycidyl ether of a bisphenol having a 1,2-epoxy equivalency of at least 1.2 and an average molecular weight of from about 2000 to about 5000 with a stoichiometric proportion, based on epoxy and secondary amine, of diprimary amine having a single secondary amine group and each primary amine group blocked by a ketimine group. At least about 50% of the amine groups of this adduct are protonated with a volatile acid, and the ketimine groups hydrolyze in the water to provide primary amine functionality and ketone solvent in the aqueous medium. From 20% to 50%, based on total resin solids, of water insoluble, heat-hardening phenol-formaldehyde resin curing agent is employed for cure. The curing agents are added to the adduct in solution in water-miscible organic solvent, and cresol-formaldehyde curing agents are preferred. |
