A multi-stage flexible acrylic resin is a reactant comprising one or more monoethylenically unsaturated ester monomers, a chain transfer agent in an amount of 0.1 to 10% by weight, and a crosslinking agent in an amount of 0.1 to 10% by weight. branched polymers that are reaction products, wherein the weight percent is based on the total amount of reactants, provided that the molar amount of crosslinking agent is less than the molar amount of chain transfer agent. A method of making the multi-stage flexible acrylic resin is also disclosed. |
