AND PROCESS FOR THEIR PREPARATION
Field of t~e Inventio~
The present invention relates to novel water-dispersible polyesters, the method of their preparation, and coatings prepared therefrom.
Back~round of the Inv~ntion Regulations to limit the amount of volatile organic compounds (VOC) of industrial coatings has encouraged research and development projects directed at inventing new waterborne systems such as paints. With respect to the two most important commercial coating systems, polyesters and acrylics, it is a relatively easy task to characterize the ~.Len~ state-of-the-art: polymeric systems with a carbon backbone (acrylics) are more stable to hydrolysis than polyesters with their carbon-oxygen ester backbone chain. However, considerable research continues toward improving the stability of aqueous polyesters because of their inherently desirable properties of excellent - hardness~flexibility ratios and outstAn~; nq gloss unatt~in~le from aqueous acrylic systems.
U.S. 4,~40,519 discloses the composition of oertain crystalline and non-crystalline polyesters copolymerized with a metal sulfonate group-cont~in;ng aromatic acid and up to 10 mol percent (based on the total polyol content) of a polyvalent polyol selected from trimethylolpropane, trimethylolethane, ~lycerine, and pentaerythritol. Also, U.S. 4,525,524 discloses liquid systems comprised of polyesters cont~; n; n~ certain metal sulfonates and, optionally, up to 3 percent of a br~n~h; n~ agent based upon the total diol component.

~0 93/06149 P ~ /US92/0802 2 ~ ~ 4 6 ~ ~ - 2 -U.S. 3,563,942 discloses linear solvent-soluble copolyester compositions that can be dispersed in water.
Water dispersibility is gained by the addition to the copolyester of a small amount (1-2 mol percent) of the metal salt of sulfonated aromatic compounds.
Nany patents disclose methods to obtain water-dissipatable polyesters by neutralizing residual or unreacted carboxylic acid groups on the polymer with ammonia or various organic amines. U.S. 3,666,698 utilizes this method as well as phenylindandicarboxylic acid to modify coating performance. U.S. 3,699,066 shows the benefits of certain hydroxy-functional amines for neutralization. U.S. 3,549,577 utilizes the aminoresin crosslinker as the neutralizing agent then adjusts the pH to prepare an alkaline water-reduced system. In these patents as well as U.S. 3,494,882, 3,434,987, U.K. 1,117,126, and U.S. 3,345,313 carboxylic acid functionality is completely neutralized with excess base yielding an alkaline paint vehicle.
None of the above items disclose an aqueous dispersion of a polyester cont~in;ng a sulfomonomer having a pH greater than 4.
U.S. Patents 4,910,292 and 4,973,656, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference, disclose an improved novel water-borne polyester resin and coatings specifically containing S-(sodiosulfo)-isophthalic acid (5-SSIPA or SIP). The resins are prepared by reacting neopentyl glycol (NPG), trimethylolpropane (TMP), isophthalic acid (IPA), and 5-SSIPA in the first stage, followed by the addition of IPA and adipic acid (AD) in the second stage. The clear coating prepared from this resin exhibits good properties of gloss, hardness, flexibility, and solvent resi~tance. Moreover, the coating is water-resistant, despite the presence of -- - - ...... .- . :

However, as with other polyester resins, aqueous dispersions of th~se resins do not have adequate storage stability and phase~separate over time. Additionally, the pigmented enamels prepared from these dispersions do not have adequate storage stability and phase-separate in a relatively short period of time.
It would, therefore, be very desirable to be able to improve the overall stability of dispersions of water-dispersible polyester resins and the pigmented enamels prepared therefrom.

Detailed Descriptlon o~ the Invention Applicants have unexpectedly discovered that if the carboxylic acid groups on the ends of the polyester chains containing sulfomonomer are capped or reacted and are no longer acidic that the resulting aqueous polyester dispersions have substantially improved stability. Additionally, applicants have discovered that pigmented coatings prepared from these dispersions have substantially i ,_~ved stability. Prior to the present invention, it was not known that these carboxylic acid end ~L ~ 5 were the cause of the jn~equate stability of the dispersions and pigmented coatings.
It is envisioned that any method of hiding;
reacting, or capping the carboxylic acid end groups would be beneficial to ; , Love the stability of the dispersions of the resin. All of these methods are .: - .: . . : . ,: ~

The compositions and process of the present invention are particularly useful since the water dispersible resins containing the sulfomonomer such as 5-SSIPA resin, cold flow at room temperature.
lo Therefore, it is very desirable to store these resins in a predispersion containing a substantial amount of polyester in the liquid. However, these predispersions are generally unstable and separate out over time. It was discovered that the stability could be substantially increased according to the present invention. The applicants discovered that the instability resulted from unreacted carboxylic acid end groups.
The c~ ition according to the present invention preferably forms a dispersion or predispersion having a pH between about 4 and 7 and has essentially no free carboxyl end groups attached to the sulfomonomer residue of reactant (b). ~hese carboxyl end groups are preferably capped with oxirane compounds or glycols.
The preferred methods for arriving at the stabilized polyester resins used in the water-dispersible compositions of the present invention are as follows:
Method 1 - The resin is prepared substantially as disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,910,292 and is then treated with an excess -u--L of an oxirane cont~;~ing compound to reduce the carboxyl end groups, particularly those attached to the sulf. ~ ~ .
Method 2 - The polyester resin is prepared as above except that the carboxylic acid groups of the sulf -nc ~r are already capped with a glycol prior to . .: .

The final step of Method 1, in which the resin is treated with an oxirane compound, is preferably lo conducted at a temperature between about room temperature and 230~C for a time up to about 20 hours.
More preferably at a temperature between about 150 and 200~C for a time between about 2 and 4 hours. The amount of oxirane compound used in this final step is an amount sufficient to react or cap a substantial portion, if not substantially all, of the carboxyl end groups.

The most preferred oxirane containing compounds are from propylene oxide, diglycidyl ethers of bisphenol A
having an epoxy equivalent weight less than 300, and mixtures thereof.

AND PROCESS FOR THEIR PREPARATION
Field of t~e Inventio~
The present invention relates to novel water-dispersible polyesters, the method of their preparation, and coatings prepared therefrom.
Back~round of the Inv~ntion Regulations to limit the amount of volatile organic compounds (VOC) of industrial coatings has encouraged research and development projects directed at inventing new waterborne systems such as paints. With respect to the two most important commercial coating systems, polyesters and acrylics, it is a relatively easy task to characterize the ~.Len~ state-of-the-art: polymeric systems with a carbon backbone (acrylics) are more stable to hydrolysis than polyesters with their carbon-oxygen ester backbone chain. However, considerable research continues toward improving the stability of aqueous polyesters because of their inherently desirable properties of excellent - hardness~flexibility ratios and outstAn~; nq gloss unatt~in~le from aqueous acrylic systems.
U.S. 4,~40,519 discloses the composition of oertain crystalline and non-crystalline polyesters copolymerized with a metal sulfonate group-cont~in;ng aromatic acid and up to 10 mol percent (based on the total polyol content) of a polyvalent polyol selected from trimethylolpropane, trimethylolethane, ~lycerine, and pentaerythritol. Also, U.S. 4,525,524 discloses liquid systems comprised of polyesters cont~; n; n~ certain metal sulfonates and, optionally, up to 3 percent of a br~n~h; n~ agent based upon the total diol component.

Water dispersibility is gained by the addition to the copolyester of a small amount (1-2 mol percent) of the metal salt of sulfonated aromatic compounds.
Nany patents disclose methods to obtain water-dissipatable polyesters by neutralizing residual or unreacted carboxylic acid groups on the polymer with ammonia or various organic amines. U.S. 3,666,698 utilizes this method as well as phenylindandicarboxylic acid to modify coating performance. U.S. 3,699,066 shows the benefits of certain hydroxy-functional amines for neutralization. U.S. 3,549,577 utilizes the aminoresin crosslinker as the neutralizing agent then adjusts the pH to prepare an alkaline water-reduced system. In these patents as well as U.S. 3,494,882, 3,434,987, U.K. 1,117,126, and U.S. 3,345,313 carboxylic acid functionality is completely neutralized with excess base yielding an alkaline paint vehicle.
None of the above items disclose an aqueous dispersion of a polyester cont~in;ng a sulfomonomer having a pH greater than 4.
U.S. Patents 4,910,292 and 4,973,656, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference, disclose an improved novel water-borne polyester resin and coatings specifically containing S-(sodiosulfo)-isophthalic acid (5-SSIPA or SIP). The resins are prepared by reacting neopentyl glycol (NPG), trimethylolpropane (TMP), isophthalic acid (IPA), and 5-SSIPA in the first stage, followed by the addition of IPA and adipic acid (AD) in the second stage. The clear coating prepared from this resin exhibits good properties of gloss, hardness, flexibility, and solvent resi~tance. Moreover, the coating is water-resistant, despite the presence of -- - - ...... .- . :

However, as with other polyester resins, aqueous dispersions of th~se resins do not have adequate storage stability and phase~separate over time. Additionally, the pigmented enamels prepared from these dispersions do not have adequate storage stability and phase-separate in a relatively short period of time.
It would, therefore, be very desirable to be able to improve the overall stability of dispersions of water-dispersible polyester resins and the pigmented enamels prepared therefrom.

The compositions and process of the present invention are particularly useful since the water dispersible resins containing the sulfomonomer such as 5-SSIPA resin, cold flow at room temperature.
lo Therefore, it is very desirable to store these resins in a predispersion containing a substantial amount of polyester in the liquid. However, these predispersions are generally unstable and separate out over time. It was discovered that the stability could be substantially increased according to the present invention. The applicants discovered that the instability resulted from unreacted carboxylic acid end groups.
The c~ ition according to the present invention preferably forms a dispersion or predispersion having a pH between about 4 and 7 and has essentially no free carboxyl end groups attached to the sulfomonomer residue of reactant (b). ~hese carboxyl end groups are preferably capped with oxirane compounds or glycols.

Method 3 is a modification o~ Method 2 and the sulfomonomer is capped or formed into the diester adduct in situ by reacting the carboxylic acid groups of the sulfomonomer with an excess of the glycol as the first step of polymerization.
The final step of Method 1, in which the resin is treated with an oxirane compound, is preferably lo conducted at a temperature between about room temperature and 230~C for a time up to about 20 hours.
More preferably at a temperature between about 150 and 200~C for a time between about 2 and 4 hours. The amount of oxirane compound used in this final step is an amount sufficient to react or cap a substantial portion, if not substantially all, of the carboxyl end groups.
This amount is preferably in molar excess and is between about 1 and 15 weight percent based on the weight of polyester with between about 5 and lo being more preferred. The preferred oxirane compounds are the more reactive oxirane compounds and are preferably selected from branched and linear 1,2-epoxyalkanes; saturated and unsaturated, linear and brA~che~, aromatic and aliphatic C3-C18 glycidyl ethers; saturated and unsaturated, linear and br~nrhed~ aromatic and aliphatic C3-C18 ~-glycidyl esters; epoxidized oils and es~ers with oxirane content h;gher than 5%; and epoxy resins being products of the reaction of epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A, with the more preferred oxirane cont~in;n~ unds having an epoxy equivalent weight less than 300.
