<p>A coating composition comprising as binder a reaction product of a polyepoxide with more than one 1,2-epoxide group per molecule, wherein its epoxide groups have been reacteda) with 0.01 to 0.5 NH-equivalents, based on one epoxide equivalent, of ammonia or of an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic primary or secondary amine or of an amino carboxylic acid or of a mixture of the aforementioned nitrogen compounds; and subsequentlyb) with 0.40 to 0.90 carboxyl equivalents, based on one epoxide equivalent, of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid or of a mixture of acrylic and methacrylic acid; and finallyc) with 0.09 to 0.50 carboxyl equivalents, based on one epoxide group, of a saturated aliphatic, a cycloaliphatic or an aromatic carboxylic acid, so that at least 80 % of the epoxide groups originally present have been reacted through these three component stages. The binder may be used alone or together with additional monomers by radicals forming compounds or preferably by photopolymerization in the presence of a photoinitiator.</p> |
