Claims
- 1. A coating composition comprising a latex of a normally solid organic addition polymer and a coalescing amount of at least one ether-ester solvent having the formula ##STR4## where R represents hydrogen or an alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R' represents a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl group, and n is 1 or 2.
- 2. The composition of claim 1 wherein R is hydrogen or methyl.
- 3. The composition of claim 1 wherein R' is methyl.
- 4. The coating composition of claim 1 wherein said ether-ester solvent comprises 2-methoxy-1-methylethyl benzoate.
- 5. The coating composition of claim 1 which comprises about 5 to 50 parts by weight of said ether-ester solvent per hundred parts of said organic addition polymer.
- 6. The coating composition of claim 1 wherein said organic addition polymer comprises a thermoplastic acrylic homopolymer.
- 7. The coating composition of claim 1 wherein said organic addition polymer comprises a thermoplastic acrylic copolymer.
- 8. The coating composition of claim 1 wherein said organic addition polymer comprises a thermosetting styrene-acrylic copolymer.
- 9. The coating composition of claim 1 which further comprises thickener, defoamer, surface active agent, catalyst, pigment, antimicrobial agent, and/or protective colloid.
