The invention provides a water-reducible coating composition comprising an epoxy resin, an amino group-containing curing agent for the epoxy resin and a formic acid ester having a solubility of at least 0.2 g in 100 g of water of a temperature of 20.degree. C., with the exception of tert. butyl formiate.

Water-reducible coating composition based on an epoxy resin

The invention provides a water-reducible coating composition comprising an epoxy resin, an amino group-containing curing agent for the epoxy resin and a watersoluble organic compound which occurs in at least 2 tautomeric forms, in one of which a labile hydrogen atom is linked to a carbon atom and which compound contains at least one carbonyloxy group or sulfonyl group.

There is provided a time temperature device having an indicator layer which visually indicates the lapse of a time temperature integral. A signaling component is provided which, upon contact with the indicating layer, causes the indicator layer to undergo a visually perceptive change. The device further includes a reservoir for the signaling component, including a first backing and adhesive layer containing an adhesive substance. The adhesive layer is positioned between the indicating layer and the first backing.
