Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A polyester prepared by free radical polymerization of an unsaturated polyester prepolymer, wherein the polymerization occurs primarily by reaction of the unsaturation of said prepolymer is disclosed. Coatings comprising the same are also disclosed, as are substrates coated at least in part with such coating.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A coating composition comprising a polyester resin and a crosslinker therefor; the polyester resin being an ungelled crosslinkable polyester resin comprising: (a) reacting a polycarboxylic acid with a polyol to form an unsaturated polyester prepolymer in which the unsaturation is along the backbone of the unsaturated polyester prepolymer and wherein the unsaturated polyester prepolymer has terminal acid and/or hydroxyl functional groups, (b) subjecting the unsaturated polyester prepolymer to free radical polymerization via the points of unsaturation along the unsaturated polyester prepolymer backbone to form the ungelled crosslinkable polyester resin that has a weight average molecular weight of 10,000 to 4,000,000 and that has a higher weight average molecular weight than the unsaturated polyester prepolymer such that the weight average molecular weight ratio of the ungelled crosslinkable polyester resin to the unsaturated polyester prepolymer is at least 1.2 and the hydroxyl value and the acid value of the ungelled crosslinkable polyester resin is in the same range as those of the prepolymer; wherein the hydroxyl value of the unsaturated polyester prepolymer ranges from 2 to 500 mg KOH/gm and/or the acid value of the unsaturated polyester prepolymer ranges from 1 to 400 mg KOH/gm. 2. The coating composition of claim 1 in which the crosslinker comprises a phenolic resin or an aminoplast. 3. A package coated with the coating composition of claim 1 . 4. The package of claim 3 wherein the package is a metal can.
