Compositions useful as a binder in lacquers and coating compositions and which are curable by moisture contain: (A) from 30 to 99 parts by weight of at least one copolymer of olefinically unsaturated compounds having a weight average molecular weight of from 1500 to 75,000 and containing chemically incorporated moieties capable of undergoing an addition reaction with amino groups, and (B) from 1 to 70 parts by weight of at least one organic polyamine containing blocked amino groups, wherein (i) the copolymers of component (A) contain both intramolecular carboxylic acid anhydride moieties and epoxide moieties in a chemically bound form, with the anhydride equivalent weight of the copolymers being from 393 to 9,800 and the epoxide equivalent weight of the copolymers from 568 to 14,200, and (ii) the binder composition contains from 0.2 to 8 anhydride and epoxide moieties for each blocked amino group. |
