Thermosetting latex coating compositions produced by copolymerization in aqueous emulsion in the presence of water-insoluble polyhydric alcohol

摘要

A thermosetting latex coating composition is disclosed and comprises a copolymer of monoethylenically unsaturated monomers copolymerized in aqueous emulsion in the presence of an anionic surfactant and about 1% to about 25% of a liquid water-insoluble polyhydric alcohol. The monomers include at least about 80% of nonreactive monomers and from about 0.5% to about 10% of a monomer carrying a reactive group capable of reacting with the hydroxy groups present when the latex is deposited and dried.
