The present invention relates to an epoxy ester coating copolymer resin which is useful in the preparation of an air curable, high solids coating, which resin is the reaction product of components (I), (II) and (III); wherein (I) is a polymerizable base of (a) a fatty acid having free radical polymerizable double bonds and (b) a vinyl monomer selected from the group consisting of styrenes, vinyl toluene and mixtures thereof; (II) is an epoxy resin and (III) is a monobasic acid. The epoxy ester copolymer resin of the invention is prepared by the reaction of (I), (II) and (III) at an elevated temperature to an acid number below 10.

Epoxy ester copolymer from fatty acid-styrene base

Epoxy polyol resins which are copolymerized with a blend of monomers having polymerizable double bonds are described as suitable water dispersible polymeric vehicles for coating compositions.

Coating resin composition based on epoxy polyol esters of unsaturated

Water reducible phenolic modified resins are described for use as binders in coating compositions which are non-lifting, recoatable with improved metal adhesion and corrosion resistance.

Water reducible phenolic modified alkyd resin

A water reducible alkyd vinyl copolymer resin having an acid number in the range of from about 30 to about 70, a method for making the copolymer resin and coating compositions which include the resin are described wherein the copolymer resin is the reaction product of
