Epoxide-amine adducts having a proportion by mass of at least 20% of aliphatic epoxide or amine units which comprise at least one tertiary or quaternary carbon atom are disclosed. The adducts are employed as binders for coatings of relatively high environment-friendliness, if desired, for example, in a mixture with other hydroxy-functional binders, and as reactive component in corresponding adhesive compositions and sealing compounds.

Low molar mass copolymers which can be prepared by reacting one or more glycidyl esters of saturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acids having a tertiary or quaternary .alpha. carbon atom, and at least two unsaturated copolymerizable monomers of which at least one has at least one COOH group, under the conditions of a free-radical copolymerization, whereby the weight-average molar mass of the copolymers is below 3500 g/mol and the proportion of branched side chains in the copolymer is at least 20% by mass are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of making these copolymers and the use thereof in binder and coating systems.
