Abstract:
Radiation and peroxide-curable oligomeric emulsions are prepared by mixing water, an. alpha. ,. beta. -ethylenically unsaturated oligomer (e. g. an unsaturated polyester), a reactive, nonionic surfactant containing allyl unsaturation, and a metallic salt drier under high shear agitation until a stable emulsion is formed. Coatings prepared from these emulsions are tack and mar free and demonstrate good resistance to organic solvents and water.
