Abstract
Abstract An improved waterbased coating composition containing about 10-50% by weight of film forming binder and pigment in a pigment to binder weight ratio of about 1/100 to 200/100 dispersed in an aqueous carrier and having a pH of about 7-10; wherein the improvement used in the composition is a acrylourethane pigment dispersing polymer in an amount of about 0.5-10% by weight, based on the weight of the coating composition; the acrylourethane pigment dispersing polymer is composed of hydroxyl and carboxyl functional acrylic polyol having a hydroxyl no. of about 50-170 and an acid no. of about 30-120 and chain extended with an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic diisocyanate in the presence of a monohydric alcohol and the polymer has a weight average molecular weight of about 10,000-40,000 and the carboxyl groups are neutralized with ammonia or an amine.
