The present invention relates to a resinous composition
for coating use and more specifically, -to a novel resinous compo-
sition comprising a sa-turat2d alicycllc acid modified amphoteric
polyester resin whose acid groups capable of developing the
resinous acid value are controlled in kind (hereinaf-ter called as
acid controlled modlfied ampho-terlc polyester resin) and an
etherified amino-formaldehyde resin, having all of the advantages
possessed by oil-free polyes-ter resinous composition as weather
resistance, mechanical proper-ties of the film, interlaminar adhe-
sion and the like, and being fr~e of all of the drawbacks pos-
sessed by polyester resinous composltion, since the weather
resistance is greatly improved by the saturated alicyclic acid
modification, curing property is by the control of the kind of
acid groups capa~le of developing the resinous acid value and
15 p~ gment dispersibility and compatibility with melamine resin are
by the amphoterization thereof.
Heretofore, as a top coat for automobile bodies and -the
like, have been welcomed coating compositions based essentially
on amino alkyd resin, amino acrylic resin or the like. However,
in the former, though the application characteristic and finish-
ing appearance ~gloss, glamorous) are comparatively good, there
is a problem of inferior weather resistance, whereas in the lat-
ter, though the weather resistance is excellent, there remain
questions of inferior finishing appearance, impact reslstance and
the like.
On the other hand, an oil-free polyester/aminoaldehyde
resin type coating composition has been believed to be hardly
applicable as a top coat to automobile bodies and the like,
because the composition has the problems of application diffi-
culty (generation of fish eyes), inferior gloss and poor compati-
bility with amino resin or the like, irrespective of various
advantages as excellent weather resistance, mechanical properties
of the coating and interlaminar adheslon and the like.
Poor pigment dispersibility was also a big factor of
k~eping it from -the actual use in coating area.
Recen~ly, various a-ttempts have been made on the oil-
s fre~ polyester/amino formaldehyde resln -type coating composition,
to make the most of the advantages and overcome the drawbacks
possessed by the said composition thereby enabling it to apply to
as a top coat for automobile bodies and -the like. Among them,
particular attention has been concentrated to saturated alicyclic
acid modified polyester resin consisting essentially of oil-free
polyester -to which particular amounts of saturated alicyclic
polycarboxylic acid are included as an acid component thereof
(see Japanese Patent Application Nos. 94269/79 laid open as
Japanese Patent Application Kokai ~o. 20068/81 and 111062/80 laid
open as Japanese Pat~nt Application Kokai No. 36149/82).
However, indeed the abovementioned modified
polyester/aminoaldehyde resin type coating composition may give
improved weather resistance and somewhat improvements in such
respects possessed as drawbacXs by the heretofore known oil-free
polyester composition as generation of fish eyes and poor compat-
ibility with amlno resins, but it is hardly possible to say that
the abovementioned drawbacks are thoroughly solved out by the
said compositions and there still remains a question of inferior
pigment dispersibility and moreover produces an additional prob-
lem of insufficient curability due to the modiflcatlon with ali-
cyclic acid. Thereforer such compositions had not been practi-
cally used after all.
The present invent~on, thsrefore, provides a polyester
base resinous composition for coating use having the merits o*
heretofore known oil-free polyester/amino resin type coating com-
position and being free of all of the demerits of using modified
polyester resin as generation of fish eyes, poor compatibility
with amino xesin, inferior pigment dispersibility and lnsuffi-
cient curing property.

According to -the invention, is provided a resinous com-
position for coating use comprising 60 to 90% by weight of
polyester resin and ~0 to 10~ by weight oE amino-formaldehyde

which may give a titration midpoint potential in a non-aqueous
potentiometric titration under the state capable of developing
resinous acid value of more than -350mv, and basic resin and/or
bas~c compound (B).
In the present specification and claims, the term
"carboxyl groups capable of developing resinous acid valuel' shall
mean l'carboxyl groups capable of developing acid value of
polyester resin"; the term ~under the state capable of developing
resinous acid value" means "carboxylic acid under the state being

The present invention will be illustrated by way of the
accompanying drawings, in which:-

alicyclic polycarboxylic acid, polycarboxylic acid whose titra-

more than -350mV, and optional other poly- and/or mono-carboxylic
acid, 10 to 80 mole% of the total acid components being occupied
by tlie a~oresaid saturated alicyclic polycarboxylic acid and 10

carboxylic acid whose titration midpoint potential in non-aqueous

of reacting an acid mixture of a mole of (1) acid, (b- b1 ) mole o~

polyester prepolymer having a resinous acid value of M, in which

and then adding bl mole of (2) acid and continuing the esterification
until the resinous acid value of N.
In the abovesaid statement, b1 is equal to b or less than b mole and
denotes athe amounts of (2) acid to be charged in a later stage and
deter~ined by the folloving equation :

~herein N stands for resinous acid value (KOH mg required for the
neutrallzation of 1 g of resinous solid matter) ; W is polyester

P is reaction percentage (%) of (2) at the later charging stage; x
is~mole % of (B) occupied in the.carboxyl groups capable of developing
reslnous acid value and dcternlined in a range of 10 ~ x ~ 100.
Among the said acid components, examples o~ saturated alicyclic poly -
carboxylic acid (1) are cyclohexane ring bearing alicyclic acids as,
for example, 1,l- cyclohexane dicarboxyl.ic acid,hexahydrophthalic acid
and its anhydride, 1,3 - cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid,1,4 - cyclohexane
- 5 -
dicarboxylic ac:id, met;hylhexahydr~phtha:Lic acid and its anhydride,
hexahydrotrimelliitic acid and it5 anhydride ,and hexahydro 2- meth~l
- trimellitic acid and its anhydride.
Examples o~ polycarboxylic acid having the titration midpoint poten -
tial in non - aqueous potentiometric titration under the state being
capable of develoying resinous acid value Oe more than - 350 mV are
aromatic polycarboxylic acids as phthalic anhydride, isophthalic acid,
terephthalic acid, trimellitic anhdyride, pyromellitic anhydride and
the like. Such polycarboxylic acid per se will, in general, show,
when made an electric potential - TBAH titer curve from the test
results o~ non - aqueous potentiometric titration, a curve having
multi - stage in~lection points, and however, ~hen incorporated in
polyester chain, at least one carboxyl group will remain in free
state and the corresponding curve will have the diminished number of
inflection points, accordingly.
Under such conditions, if a polycarboxylic acid is possessed of such
acid strength that the aforesaid titration midpoint potential is more
than - 350 mV, then such a member may advantageously be used for the
object of the present invention .
As the acid components, other poly - and/or mono - carboxylic acids (3)
than the abovesaid (1) and (2) may be present, if desired. Such acid
(3) may be any o~ the members customarily used as an acid component of
polyester resin, includin~ aliphatic or partially saturated alicyclic
acids like succinic acid and its anhydride, adipic acid, azelaic acid,
sebacic acid, tetrahydrophthalic anhydride, maleic anhydride, fumaric
acid , itaconic acid and the like. Furthermore, monocarboxylic acids
as benzoic acid, p - t- butyl benzoic acid and the like may be added
for the purpose of regulating the molecular weight o~ the resin.
The polyhydric alcohol component to be reacted with said acid mixture
is not o e speci~ic type and suitably selected -~rom the members
- 6 -
customarily used :Eor the preparat;ion oL' polyec:ter resirls. ~xample5 oE
such members are ethylene1rlycol, cliethyk-~rleglycol, propyleneglyco],
neopentylglycol, 1,2- butyleneglycol, 1,3- butyleneglycol, 2,3- buty -
leneglycol, 1,4- butyleneglycol, 1,6 - hexanediol, 1,5-pentanediol,
2,5- hexanediol, trimethylolethane, trimethylolpropane, glycerin,
pentaerythritol, diglycerin, sorbitol, 1,4- cyclohexAne dimethanol and
the like.
As already stated, the resin (A) which constitutes the present acid
controlled modified amphoteric polyester resinous component must be
of the nature such that 10 to 80 mole% of the total acid components
be occupied by said saturated alicyclic polycarboxylic acid and lO
to lO0 mole % of the carboxyl groups capable oE developing res~nous
acid value be derived from the polycarboxYlic acid which will show
a titration midpoint potential in non - aqueous potentiometric
titration , under the state of carboxylic acid capable of developing
resinous acid value , of more than - 350mV. This is because, if the
content oE saturated alicyclic polycarboxylic acid is less than lO
mole % of the total acid components, there is a trend that weather
resistance may not be improved, whereas if it exceeds over the upper
limit of 80 mole % , chemical resistance be lowered. As the ratio o-E
carboxyl groups being responsible to the develoPment of resinous acid
value, if the amount of said polycarboxylic acid having athe specified
acid strength is less than lO mole % , then there is a general trend
of giving insufficient gloss and curing property and hence, the object
of the present invention cannot be attained.
It is true that an attempt had been once made to use the combination
of alicyclic polycarboxylic acid and aromatic carboxylic acid in
particular weight ratio (as shown in Japanese Patent Application Kokai
No. 36149/82~ as acid components Eor the synthesis o:E polyester resin.
However, for the reaction with alcohol component, a carboxylic acid
having an alicyclic structure as cyclohexarle ring is less reactive
than an aromatic carboxylic acid, and thcJre:Eore, when the abovesaid
mixed acids are rcacted with polyhydric alcohol, a more reactive
aromatic carboxylic acid is far quickly incorporated into the ester
chains, thereby resulting the polyester resin whose carboxyl groups
capable of developing resinous acid value are mostly occupied ~y the
abovesaid saturated alicyclic polycarboxYlic acid. When athe carboxyl
groups capable of developing resinous acid value are occupied by such
alicyclic carboxylic acid as having a lower dissociation degree in
non - aqueous solvent, there would be a fatal disadvantage that the
resulted resin is lacking in desired acidity and curability. Under the
circumstances, the inventors, adopting the a~oresaid specific prepa -
ration method, have succeeded in obtaining an ideal acid controlled
modified polyester resin, in which 10 to 80 mole % o~ the acod
components are composed of saturated alicyclic polycarboxylic acid,
thereby improving the weather resistance o~ the resin, and 10 to 100
mole % of the carboxyl groups capable of developing resinous acid
value are derived from aromatic polycarboxYlic acid having a large
dissociation degree and acidity, thereby improving curability and
weather resistance of the resin. However, even with this acid
controlled modified polyester resin, there still remains a room for
further improvement in pigment d1spersibilitY because of the nature of
oil - free polyester resin . Therefore, in the present invention, a
device has been made to provide an acid controlled modified amphoteric
polyester resin through the addition, condensation or ester - exchange
reaction between the abovesaid acid controlled modified polyester
resin (A) and basic resin and/or basic compound (B).
In the present specification, the term " basic resin and/or basic
compound " as used herein denotes a compound having in its molecule
at least one functional group (e.g. hydroxyl, active alkoxy, carboxyl,
~ 2~
glycidyl, oxirane, alhylenei~ine, isocyarllJte and the like) capable of
reacting with that of poly~ster(e.g. cster bondine, carbo~yl, hYdrox~l)
and at least one functional group with nitrogen atom having a lone
pair of electrons (e.g. - N < , isocyanate, alkyleneimine grouy and
the like). Among the said compounds, comyaratively higher molecular
weight compound is called as basic rcsin and comparatively lower
~olecular weight compound as basic compound.
Examples of basic resins to be reacted with acid controlled modiiied
polyester resin (A) are urea resins, melamine resins, polyamide resins,
urethane resins and the like and examples o~ basic compounds are
comparatively lower molecular weight compounds o-f the abovesaid resins
or hydroxylamine compounds as monoethanolamine, diethanolamine,
aminopentanol, aminobenzyl alcohol, 2- dimethylaminoethanol and the
like,amino acids as 3- dimethylaminobenzoic acid, 2- amino - isobutyric
lS acid, 4 - amino - n - butyric acid, alkyleneimines as ethyleneimine and
the like. The invention, however, cannot be limitted to these members
only.
Since the acid controlled modi~ied polyester resins are a kind o-E
acidic resins having hydroxyl, carboxyl or the like, they can easily
be converted to amphoteric resins with both acidic and basic propert -
ies through addition, condensation or ester exchange reaction with
basic resins and~or basic compounds. That is, a polyester resin~acidic
resin) and a basic resin or basic compound can be reacted with each
other through the iunctional groups possessed by themselves, as for
example, hydroxyl group, carboxyl group, active alkoxy group and the
like, or through the intervening crosslinking compound as diisocyanate,
diglycidyl compound and the like.
In regard to the weight ratio of the reactants, i.e. acid controlled
modified polyester resin (A) and basic rèsin and/or basic compound ~B),
there is no particular limit on it providing re5ulting satisfactorY
%
addition, condensa-tion or es-ter exchange reaction therebetween.
It is, however, generally welcome to react 99.5~40 wt~ of the
acid controlled modified polyester resin (A~ and 0.5~60 wt/% of
the basic resin or 99.9~50 wt.% of the resin (A) and 0.1~50 wt.%
of the basic compound. As to the details of the preparation of
an amphoteric resin by the reaction of such acidic resin and
basic resin and/or basic compound, reference should be made to
applicant's Japanese Patent Appllcatlon No. 120866/81 laid open
as Japanese Patent Application Kokai No. 21468/83. The abovesaid
acid controlled modified amphoteric polyester resin is, because
of the preparation thereof, differing from the mere mixture of
acidic polyester resin and basic resin, a reaction product of
said two components and hence is excellent in stability, can
never be separated to the respective raw material resins, do pos-
sess amphoteric property and furthermore excellent in pigmentdispersion stabil~ty. In this resin, the said acidity and basic-
ity should preferably be settled in the values hereinafter
stated. However, since the acid controlled modified amphoteric
polyester resin is insoluble in water, the inventors have devel-
oped the original non-a~ueous analysis methods and evaluated the
acidity and basicity of the amphoteric resin with them. That is,
the amphoteric polyester resin is first dissolved in pyridine,
subjected to a non-aqueous potentiometric titration wlth a titer
of n-tetrabutyl ammonium hydroxide, and acidity of the resin is
determined from the molar amounts of said reagent necessitated
for the neutralization thereof. Next, the sample resin is dis-
solved in acetic acid, subjected to a non-aqueous potentiometric
titration with a titer of perchloric acid and the basicity of the
resin is determined from the molar amounts of said reagent neces-
sitated for the neutralization thereof. ~s the results of saidtests, the inventors have found that the a~ovesaid acid con-
trolled modified amphoteric polyester resin should preferably
have the acidity of 3.0~2.0 x 10-2
-- 10 --
.
~L2 ~ L~
m mol/g solid, most prcferably ~.0 ~ 5.0 x 10-% m mol/g ~:olid, and
the basicity of 1.0 ~ 5 x 10-3 m mol/e so1id, most; preferably 1.0 ~
1 x 10-2 m mol/g solid. This is because, with respect to acidity, ie
it is less than the lower limit, there is a tendency that curing
property and fil performance are decreased and if :it is more than the
aforesaid upper limit, there is a tendency that water resistance and
chemical resistance of the film are decreasecl.
In the present invention, the abovesaid acid controlled modi-fied
amphoteric polyester resin is used together vith amino- formaldehYde
resin etherified with monohydric alcohol having 1 to 4 carbon atoms,
as, for example, melamine resin, guanamine resin, urea resin and the
like. Ho~ever, for the object of the invention, particular preférence
is given to melamine resin. And, the compounding ratio of said acid
controlled modified amphoteric polyester resin and amino - formaldehYde
resin may be in general freely selected,in terms of solid weight ratio,
in a range of 60~ 90 parts by ~eight, preferably 70 ~ 80 parts by
weight, of the former, and 40~ 10 parts by weight, preferably 30~ 20
parts by weight, of the latter. These figures were determined by
repeating experiments.
Thus obtained resinous composition is,~hen used as solid color coating
composition, characterized by having excellent weather resistance,
gloss retention and deep color wa~ing property. Furthermore, since th
modified polyester resin whose carboxyl groups capable of developing
resinous acid value are controlled in kind, is amphoterized, it is
like~ise e~cellent in compatibility with amino resin, pigment disper -
sibility (dispersion speed, dispersion stability) and hence in
finishing appearance as gloss and distinctness- of - image and curing
property. Thus, the composition ia possessed of all characteristics of
oil - free polyester coating composition and is free Erom the
~0 disadvantages thereof, and hence is very useful as coating for auto -

Using the abovesai.d equation with these datas,
bl - 0.139 mole (23.05 parts) was obt;ained.
Into a reaction tanh equipped with heating device, stirrer, reflux
condenser, ~ater separa~or, ~ract:ional t;ower and thermameter, were
placed the abovesaid 5iX mat~r.ials and the m.ixture was heated. At thi.s
time, isophthalic acid was used in an amount of ~3.~3 parts (66.48 ~
23.05 = 43.43 parts). At the stage when the materials were ~used out,
stirring was started and heating was continued until the tank temper -
ature reached to 230C. However, from 160C to 230C, the temperature
was raised at constant speed in 3 hours. The formed condensation water
was distilled out of the system. When reached to 230C, tank mixture
~as maintained at the same temperature for 1 hour and then 5 parts of
xylene ~refluxing solvent) were ~radually added and condensation
reaction was further continued in the presence of said solvent.The reaction was stopped at the stage vhen the resinous acid value
reached to 2.0 calculated by the equation:
M = 8.0 ( 1 - >

and the tank was allowed to coola to 100C to obtain a polyester
prepolYmer A ~ ext, 23.05 parts (0.139 mole) of isophthalic acid
were placed in and the tank temperature was raised to 210DC. At this
timeJ rom l90DC to 210DC, said temperature was raised at a constant
speed in 1 hour and the formed condensation was was distilled out of
the system. When the tank temperature reached to 210C, the tank was
maintained at the same temperature to continue the reaction. The said
reaction was stopped at the stage when the resinous acid value reached
to 8.0 and the reaction mixture was allowed to cool. After cooling,
106.1 parts o~ xylene were added to obtain an acid controlled modified

polyester resin solution A, the carboxyl ~roups capable of developin~
resinous acid value of said resi.n bein~ controlled in kind. This
solution A had a non- volati].e content of 70.1% , varnish viscosity (
Gardner viscosity,at 25~C) of Z1 , and res:inous acid value of 8.1.
Using pyridine solutions of ~hus obtained polyester prepolYmer A - 1
and of acid controlled modified polyester res.;.n solution A, non -
aqueous potentiometric titration was carried out with a titration
reagent of n - tetrabuty]. ammorlium hydroxide (TBTM) and the titration
curves were shown in Fig. 1.
As clearly known orm the drawing, the titration midpoint potential (R)
of polyester prepolymer A - 1 t2) is 900 MV which agrees with the
titration midpoint potential o-P polyester resin derived from an acid
component of he%ahydrophthalic anhydride alone as shown in Table 1.
It was thus con~irmed that the carboxyl groups by which the resinous
acid value of 2.0 of polyester prepolymer A - 1 was developed were ~ll
derived from hexahydrophthalic anhydride used.
Ho~ever, in the tikration curve (1) of acid controlled modified poly -
ester resin solution (A), there are 2 inflection points and the
titration midpoint potentials (P,Q) are - 313 mV and - 905 mV,respec -
2Q kivelyJwhich are well in accord with the titration midpoint potentialsof - 310 mV and - 400 mV for the polyester resins whose acid components
are isopphthalic acid alone and hexahydrophthalic anhydride alone as
shown in Table 1. Therefore, the carboxyl groups that are contributive
to the development of resinous acid value of ~.1 of the acid
controlled modified polyesker resin solution A are derived from both
isophkhalic acid and hexahydrophthalic anhydride, the equivalenk ratio
of khese acids being 75/25.
Thus, it was confirmed that the type o~ carboxyl groups capable o~
developing the resinous acid value were surely controlled as indicated
under the " designed resin" by % = 75% .

To 100 parts of thus obtalned acid controlled modlfied
polyester resin solution A, were added 6 parts of melamine resin
(U-20 SE, a trademark of Mitsui Toatu K.K., non-volatile content
60%), and 7 parts of xylene and the mixture was heated and
reacted at 90~100C until the viscosity ~by bubble viscometer)
reached to Y. Thus obtained acid controlled modified amphoteric
polyester resin solution I had an acidity of 0.18 m mol/g solid
and basicity of 0.21 m mol/g solid and non-volatile content of
65.2%.
Synthetic Example 2 (acid controlled modlfied amphoteric
polyester resin solution II)
Repeating the same procedures as stated in Synthetic
Example 1 with the materials shown in Table 1, was prepared an
acid controlled modified polyester resin solution B having a non-

To 100 parts of the said acid controlled modified
polyester resin solution B, w~re added 7 parts of urea resin
(UFR-65, a trademark of Mitsul Toatu K.K., non-volatile content
more than 98%) and 11.5 parts of xylene, and the mixture was
heated and reacted (heat-condensakion reaction) at 80~90C untll
the viscosity ~by bubble viscometer) reached to Z.
Thus obtained acid controlled modified amphoteric
polyester resin solution II had an acidity of 0.17 tm mole/g

conten~ of 65.1~.
Synthetic Example 3
(acid controlled modified amphoterlc polyester resin solution

Repeating the same procedures as stated in ~ynthetic
Example 1 with the materials shown in Table 1, was prepared an
acid controlled modified polyester resin solution C, whose char-
acteristics were non-volatile content 70.5, varnish viscosity
Z2~z3 and resinous acid value 8.2.
To lO0 parts of thus obtained acid controlled modified
polyester resin solution C, were added 10 parts of xylene, and
3.5 parts of isophorone diisocyanate ~manufactured by Huels) and
the mixture was reacted at 80C until the reaction rate of iso-
cyanate group reachad to 50% (determined by infrared spectrome-
ter). Though the isophorone diisocyanate do possess both
aliphatic and alicyclic isocyanate groups, since the aliphatic
isocyanate group is much, as high as 10 times, reactive than the
alicyclic isocyanate group, it is believed that at the stage when
the reaction rate of isophorone diisocyanate reached to 50%, the
aliphatic isocyanates have already been reacted with the hydroxyl
groups of the polyester resin, but the alicyclic isocyanates

(Note 3) Acid resistance
5 ml of N/10 H2 SO ~ was dropped in a glass cyclinder (inner diam.
of 38 mDI, height of 15 loln) placed on the coating. After standing for
24 hours at 20C, the coating was washed with water and any occurence
o~ wrinkles, blisters and coLor changes were observed.
(Note 4) Alkali resistance
5 ml of N~10 NaOH was dropped in a glass cyclinder as used in the
abovesaid test, and after standing in a drier (55C) for 4 hours and
subsequently washing with water, any occurence of wrinkles, blisters
and color changes were observed.
(Note 5) Interlaminar adhesion
Onto a substrate, the coating composition obtained in each Example
was applied and baked at 160C for 30 minutes. Therea-Pter, the same
coating composition was spray ~ coated as a top coat and baked at 140
C Eor 30 minutes (2 coats with the same coating composition).
Thereafter, cros- cuts with 2 mm width cut were made with a razer and
peel test was carried out with a cellophalle tape. The result was
evaluated by the number of peeled out coatings in 2 cm square each.
(Note 6~ Waxing resistance

h small quantity ot car wax (Soft ~9 seln:i kneaded type, manuf.Jctured
by Nitto C~lelll. Co.) was taken on a white lirlerl and rubbed aKainst the
coating intensely w:ith khe foref;rl~er 1U ~imes back and forth over a
distance of 10 cln. An excess alllotlnt of wax reMairled on the coatin~
was wiped out ~ith a :eresll linerl cLoth and the coating surface was
visual]y observed. The r-es~ilt was evaluated from the extent of gloss
down, abrasions and coloring of ~hite linen cloth.
O... no gloss down and abrasions on the coating and no coloring

(Note 7) Gel fraction
Sample specimen of baked coating was subiected to solvent extraction
with acetoneJmethanol= 1/1 (wei~ht), using Soxhlet -extractor, at
70C for 5 hours, and the extract was dried at 120C for 30 minutes
in a drier, and then cooled in a decicator. The extract was weighed
and gel fraction was calculated from said result.

Possibility of industrial use
As stated hereinabove, the present resinous composition can afford,
wherl used as resinous vehicle in a clear or colored coating composit-
tion, excellent coating in respect o-f weather resistance, mechanical
properties and inte-rlaninar adhesion, and especially curing propertY ,
pigment dispersibi.li.ty and colnpatibility with melamine resin, and
hence is very useful as a top coat for automobile bodies and the like.
