BACKGROUND ~F THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a new aqueous coating composition containing polyacrylate resins which have carboxylic and/or sulphonic acid functionality and are dissolved and/or dispersed in water as an essential binder component and (cyclo)aliphatic epoxy resins as curing agents, and the use of the coating compositions for the production of coatings.
Description of the Prior Art Today aqueous coating compositions are gaining increasing importance for ecological and economic reasons. The replacement of coating compositions conventionally dissolved in organic solvents is, however, technically difficult for various reasons.
Aqueous binders based on alkyd resins and polyesters have a marked tendency to saponification. The saponification causes a reduction of molecular weight, which leads to a loss of quality of the binder and the coatings obta1ned therefrom. In addition, the storability of such binders is considerably reduced.
Frequently, therefore, binders dissolved in purely organic solvents are produced or sold, and are then diluted further with water for application. During application these systems release, in addition to water, the organic solvents contained in the system. The ability to dilute these anionic binders with water is obtained only by neutralization with bases, usually organic amines. During curing, these amines are also released. As a rule, complicated incinerators are then necessary industrially in order to remove the organic constituents from the waste air, while in do-it-yourself 35376TWR2g 1 9 2~

applications, these constituents are emitted into the ambient air.
Another problem of these water-based coating compositions is the distinctive viscosity anomaly. On dilution of the aqueous lacquer solutions, the viscosity initially increases and then decreases rapidly after passing a maximum. Because the coating compositions react to small water additions with considerable viscosity changes, they require particularly careful handling.
A further disadvantage, in particular for stoving systems containing polyester or alkyd resins in combination with melamine resins as crosslinkers, is the relatively high curing temperature, which is usually at least 120C. This requires a high expenditure of energy for curing the system. For many applications, such as the repair coating of automobiles, curing is not possible under such temperature conditions. As a rule, coating compositions are required that are curable at the lowest possible temperatures and yet have suffic;ent water- and solvent-resistance after curing. Ideal binders would be usable, e.g., in the automobile field, both at temperatures below 100C for repair coating and at higher temperature for original equipment manufacture (OEM).
Other crosslinking mechanisms, such as the crosslinking of OH-functional polymers with polyisocyanates, have some advantages when compared to crosslinking with melamine resins.
Thus, the curing can be carried out at room temperature or, accelerated, at 80 to 120-C. The coatings obtained in this way possess a good mechanical property profile and are generally resistant to gasoline and water. However, there are problems when it is intended to apply this crosslinking principle to aqueous formulations, since the isocyanates are reactive with water. It was previously common to apply such systems in purely organic solution resulting in the disadvantages mentioned with regard to the emission of organic solvents.

Mo3923 Only recently have special aqueous coating compositions become known (e.g. DE-OS 3,8291587) to overcome these problems.
These compositions contain combinations of polyhydroxy compounds and polyisocyanates with free isocyanate groups as binders which are dissolved and/or dispersed in water. Yet the difficulty remains that the side reactions of NCO groups with water can interfere with the actual cross-linking reaction, e.g., when detailed instructions about the composition of the lacquer recipe and the curing conditions are not followed.
B;nders based on a polymer containing amino or ammonium groups and epoxides also have a high reactivity and can be cured at temperatures below 100C. However, the basic groups needed for compatibility with water render the crosslinked coatings highly hydrophilic, which has a negative effect on their water resistance.
Accordingly, it is an obiect of the present invention to provide a new coating composition which may be applied an aqueous phase substantially free of co-solvent, is dilutable without the viscosity anomaly, can be cured over a wide temperature range (in particular at only moderately elevated temperatures or room temperature), has a long processing time and possesses good water resistance water resistance.
These objects may be achieved with the preparation of the coating compositions according to the invention which are described in more detail below.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention also relates to the use of these coating compositions for the production of coatings for curing at 5 to 140C on any desired substrates.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Component a) is selected from copolymers having carboxylic or sulphonic acid groups, acid numbers of about 30 to 240 mg KOH/g and hydroxyl nUmbersof o to about 180 mg KOH/g. The acid number includes both free, i.e., unneutralized, acid groups, particularly carboxyl groups, and also neutralized acid groups, in particular carboxylate groups. Preferably, 0 to 30 wt.% of the ac~d groups are present in neutralized form. In particular, ammonia or aliphatic amines are used as neutralizing agents, particularly those having a molecular weight of 31 to 200. Examples include methylamine, dimethyl-amine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, ethanolamine, 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol and N,N-dimethylethanolamine. The copolymers generally have a molecular weight (Mn~ determined by Mo3923 2~g~

gel permeation chromatography using polystyrene as standard) of 500 to 50,000, preferably 1,000 to 25,000.
Preferred copolymers for use as component a) are those prepared from al) 0 to 70, preferably 0 to 50, wt.% styrene, a2) 0 to 70, preferably 0 to 50, wt.% methyl methacrylate, a3) 0 to 70, preferably 0 to 50, wt.% of an acrylate component selected from one or more Cl to C8-alkyl acrylates, a4) 0 to 30, preferably 0, wt.% of at least one component lo having hydroxyl groups selected from hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylatès having 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the hydroxyalkyl group, a5) 5 to 40, preferably 10 to 30, wt.% of an acid component, selected from acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and v;nylsulphonic acid, preferably methacrylic acid, a6) 0 to 30, preferably 0, wt.% of other ethylenically unsaturated monomers, provided that the sum of the percentages of components al) to a6) is 100 and 0 to 30 mol% of the incorporated acid groups are neutralized with aliphatic amines or ammonia.
Suitable monomers a3) include methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, n-propyl acrylate, isopropyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, n-hexyl acrylate, n-octyl acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate. Preferred monomers a3) are n-butyl acrylate, n-hexyl acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate; n-butyl and/or n-hexyl acrylate are especially preferred.
Suitable hydroxy-functional (meth)acrylates a4) include hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, 3-hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, 4-hydroxybutyl (meth)acrylate and mixtures of these monomers. Preferred are 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and the technical mixture of 2- and 3-hydroxy-propyl methacrylate.
Acid-containing monomer a5) is most preferably present in an amount of 15 to 25% by weight. Methacrylic acid is especially preferred as monomer a5).
Mo3923 -6- 2 ~ ~ 9 ~ 6 9 Suitable monomers a6), which may optionally be present, include sub~tituted styrene derivatives such as the isomeric vinyltoluenes, ~-methylstyrene, propenylbenzene, C5-CI2-cycloalkyl (meth)acrylates, vinyl esters (such as vinyl acetate, propionate or versatate) and N-methoxymethyl (methJacrylamide.
The ability to emulsify copolymers a) depends above all on the concentration of an incorporated anionic group and on the presence or absence of external emulsifiers. Preferably, the hydrophilicity of component a) is adjusted via the incorporation of acid groups, their degree of neutralization and/or the concomitant use of external emulsifiers d), such that at least 20 wt.%, preferably at least 80 wt.%, of component a) is present in a form emulsified in water; the remainder is present in water-dissolved form. Especially preferred agueous copolymers a) are those which have been produced by emulsion polymerization in the aqueous medium and consequently are present essentially in a form emulsified in water.
Methods of production of such aqueous emulsions are known.
Extensive descriptions can be found, e.g., in Houben-Weyl, Methoden der organischen Chemie, volume E20, Makromolekulare Stoffe I, 4th Edition, 1987, p. 218 ff., Georg Thieme Verlag.
Epoxy resins suitable as component b) include low-molecular (cyclo)aliphatic compounds bl) that have good solubility or emulsifiability in water, 1f necessary in the presence of emulsifiers d). These compounds have an average of at least 2, preferably 2 to 5, epoxide groups per molecule and a viscosity at 25C of 50 to lO,000 mPa.s. They also contain 0.2 to 2.0 epoxide groups per 100 9 of resin solids. A very suitable example of such epoxy resin is "Glycidether 100", a commercial product of the Raschig AG company. Glycidether 100 is an epoxide mixture based on a glycidyl glycerol ether, with an epoxide value of 0.67 to 0.70 equivalents of epoxide/100 9 and a viscosity at 25C of 140 to 175 mPa.s. It also has good Mo3923 2~8~

compatibility with water. Another commercial product suitable as component bl) is Epikote 877 of the Shell Company.
Component b) can optionally contain aliphatic monoepoxides b2) as reactive diluents in amounts of up to 20 wt.%, based on the weight of component bl). Suitable components b2) include glycidyl ethers of aliphatic C4-C22 alcohols, such as butyl glycidyl ether; and epoxidized olefins, such as epoxidized ~-olefins, for example reactive diluent Edenol 817 RV of the Henkel company.
In the coating compositions according to the invention, components a) and b) are present in an amount such that the molar ratio of unneutralized acid groups of component a) to epoxide groups of component b) is 1:3 to 1:0.5, preferably 1:1.5 to 1:0.75.
The coating compositions according to the invention may also contain up to 10 wt.%, based on the weight of components a) to e), of water-miscible organic solvents c). Examples of these solvents include butoxyethanol, methoxypropanol, ethanol and acetone.
In the coating compositions according to the invention, external emulsifiers d) may be present to assist the emulsifiability of components a) and b). These external emulsifiers, if used at all, are used in amounts of up to 5 wt.%, based on the total weight of components a) to e).
Suitable external emulsifiers include 3-benzyl-4-hydroxy-biphenyl polyglycol ether and the sodium salt of di-sec.-butyl naphthalenesulphonic acid.
The coating compositions may also contain additives d) which are known from coatings technology. Examples include 3~ pigments, antifoaming agents, levell;ng agents, dispersion aids for p;gment distribution, fillers, catalysts for the epoxide addition reaction or also other non-water miscible (hydrophobic) auxiliary solvents, which are different from component c), but which are emulsifiable in the total system due to the presence of the emulsifiers.
Mo3923 20~6a To prepare the coating compositions it is possible to emulsify or dissolve the epoxide component b) in the aqueous or aqueous-organic emulsion of component a) (that may contain hydrophilic solvents c), the previously mentioned hydrophobic solvents and/or emulsifiers d)). The good water compatibility of the component b), at least in presence of the emulsifiers d), ensures good mixing by simply stirr;ng at room temperature.
If additives are to be present, they are preferably added to the system preferably before the addition of component b).
The coating compositions according to the invention in general have a water content of 20 to 75 wt.% and a total content of hydrophilic solvents c) and other possible volatile solvents, that can be part of component e), of no more than 10 wt.%, wherein these percentages are based on the total weight f the coatiny composition.
The coating compositions according to the invention have a processing time at room temperature of at least 10 h, often of more than 24 h.
The coating compositions according to the invention can be applied to suitable substrates by known methods, for example, by spray;ng, dipping and brushing. The curing of the coatings can be carried out within a wide temperature range of 5 to 160C, preferably 5 to 140C. Preferably the curing takes place at room or ambient temperature. At elevated curing temperatures, for example 80 to 140-C, stoving times of 15 to 45 minutes are usually sufficient. Irrespective of the curing temperature, coatings are obtained which possess scratch resistance, water resistance, solvent resistance and high gloss.
The coating compositions according to the inventlon are also distinguished by the lack of a the previously discussed viscosity anomaly, i.e., on dilution with water no initial rise in viscosity occurs.
The coating compositions according to the invention are suitable in particular for the production of primary coats or Mo3923 2~9~
g top coats on any desired substrates, but particularly on concrete, wood, metal and plastics. The coating compositions are suitable for the production of fillers, base coats and clear coats for both original equipment manufacture and for the repair coating of motor vehicles. They are also suitable for furniture coating, industrial coatings and for building protection.

Each of these coating compositions were spread at a wet film thickness of 180 ~m onto glass plates and then were each cured for 30 minutes at 80 and 120-C. Glossy, crosslinked films were obtained which possessed good scratch resistance.
The films cured at 80 C showed an advantageous post-curing at room temperature, so that after 2 to 3 days, partial solubility was no longer observed. The films dried at 120C were completely resistant to solvent immediately after cooling.
Water resistance was carried out by laying a wet cotton ball, covered with a Petri dish on the films cured at 120C.
