| abstract |
A liquid resinous composition is prepared by reacting a dibasic acid component containing alpha , beta -unsaturated basic acid with a glycol component to form an unsaturated polyester having an acid value of at least 10 and a molecular weight of 1,000 to 10,000, mixing the polyester with a basic substance to neutralize unreacted carboxyl groups and then subjecting the resulting water solubilized unsaturated polyester to addition reaction with a monovinyl compound. The composition is suited for adhesive, coating, printing ink, and binder. |
