Studies of aqueous resins

Waterborne unsaturated polyester resins

“…However, coatings obtained from that type of polymers indicate low water resistance 8) . When a few mol-% of sodium 5-sulfonatoisophthalic acid were used, the water dispersion of a polyester resin based on aromatic (isophthalic and terephthalic) and aliphatic (adipic) dicarboxylic acids as well as hydrophobic (neopentyl) glycols was obtained 9) . A small amount of a coalescent solvent (2-butoxyethanol) should be also added for better stability of the dispersion.…”
