Abstract
Toluene-soluble modified natural-resin acid esters which can be prepared by reacting at least one compound from each of the component groups: A) natural resins or natural-resin acids; B) .alpha.,.beta.-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acids or their anhydrides; C) phenols which are polyfunctional with respect to oxo compounds; D) aldehydes or aldehyde acetals; E) alcohols having at least two hydroxyl groups; and, if desired, further compounds from the substance groups: F) fatty acids or fatty acid esters; G) ethylenically unsaturated monomers; H) ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon resins in the presence of: I) monovalent or divalent metal compounds or mixtures thereof at a temperature of from 100.degree. to 300 .degree. C., with elimination of water, to an acid number of less than 100 mg of KOH/g of resin, and then reacting the resulting products with: J) carboxylic acids which contain at least two carboxyl groups and are not .alpha.,.beta.-ethylenically unsaturated, or their anhydrides, in the temperature range from 200.degree. to 300 .degree.
