<p>A process for the water based cure of an epoxy resin is disclosed. The resulting epoxy resin is useful in protective coatings. The epoxy system of the patent application should be useful in coating formulations. It should have little or no utility in casting, encapsulating, etc. applications because of difficulty in removal of solvent, i.e., water. The process involves curing an epoxy resin of the polyhydric phenol, polyglycidyl ether type by combining the resin with a reactive water-compatible polyamide in an aqueous medium. The polyamide is prepared from fatty acids and an aminopropyl derivative of a polyoxyalkylenepolyamine.</p> |
