Aqueous resinous compositions having an alkaline pH for application to metal sheets and curing the same prior to shaping the metals to achieve metal decoration are disclosed. By "decorating" is meant applying synthetic resinous coatings to the metal followed by a severe mechanical forming operation such as the formation of screw-threaded bottle caps. The composition is thermosettable and comprises (A) an addition copolymer of certain monomers and (B) a water-soluble urea-formaldehyde reaction product or a water-soluble methanol or ethanol ether thereof. The copolymer contains small amounts of carboxyl and amide and/or hydroxyl functionality. The weight ratio of (A) to (B) is from 35:65 to 65:35, and the solids content is between 40 and 80 percent. The coating composition has properties which similar previously known aqueous compositions lack, an important one being that the composition may be direct-roller coated onto the substrate without fouling the coating roller with a partially dried accumulation of the coating composition. The coated panels having a wet coating may be placed directly into the curing oven without blistering, avoiding the necessity of a preliminary low temperature drying step and freedom from patterning.

Low molecular weight copolymers (1) acrylic acid esters or methacrylic acid esters of alcohols such as methanol with (2) esters of bicyclic alcohols such as isobornyl alcohol and unsaturated acids such as methacrylic acid, as contrasted with high molecular weight copolymers of such monomers (1) and (2) (see U. S. Pat. No. 3,485,775) and as contrasted to other acrylic polymers, are found to be exceptional in compatibility with practically all types of polyesters and alkyds and with many other types of lacquer film-forming materials. The modifiers, particulary for alkyds, need not be selected on the basis of the oil length or solvent (aromatic or aliphatic), the modifiers being compatible with long oil alkyds, medium oil alkyds, and short oil alkyds. When small amounts of unsaturated amine-containing monomers or unsaturated carboxylic acids, or other polar monomers and combinations thereof, are incorporated in the polymer solutions, they become improved pigment dispersants. Such pigment dispersions, unexpectedly, can be let down with many types of synthetic resins and used by air-drying or baking the coated articles.

This invention discloses stable water-based thermosettable coating compositions particularly adapted for the direct roll coating of substrates. The composition comprises (1) an aqueous solution or colloidal solution of a volatile amine or ammonia salt of a high molecular weight carboxylic acid-containing acrylic copolymer, (2) a carboxylic acid-containing acrylic oligomer in the solution, and (3) an aqueous dispersion or solution of a crosslinker; the volatile aqueous phase being by volume 70 to 95% water and 5 to 30% organic solvents, the solids content 15 to 70% by weight and the viscosity between 25 and 150 seconds measured in the number 4 Ford cup.

This invention discloses a polymer composition for the coating of substrates, comprising an aqueous alkaline blend having a binder consisting essentially of two components. Component A) is an addition copolymer of (1) about 3% to about 30% by weight of an olefinically unsaturated monomer containing a carboxyl group or mixture thereof, (2) at least one ester of acrylic or methacrylic acid, and, optionally, (3) other olefinically unsaturated monomers, the total of (1), (2) and (3) being 100%. The weight average molecular weight of the copolymer is between 10,000 and 500,000, and it is in the form of a solution or a colloidal solution in an aqueous phase. Component B) is an oligomeric addition copolymer of (1) at least one ester of acrylic or methacrylic acid, (2) 9% to about 50% of an olefinically unsaturated monomer having at least one carboxyl group, and, optionally, (3) other olefinically unsaturated monomers, the total of (1), (2) and (3) being 100%. The weight average molecular weight of this copolymer is between 400 and 6,000, and the molecular weight distribution is such that the heterogeneity index is 3 or less. In the blend, on a solids basis, (A) is from 90 to 10 percent and (B) being from 10 to 90 percent by weight.

A method for using an ambient-temperature-drying aqueous elastomeric coating composition is provided. The coating composition comprises at least two mutually incompatible water-insoluble polymers, with at least one of the polymers comprising N-methylol functionality. The coating composition is used, for example, for high gloss elastomeric wall coatings or for sports surface coatings.
