Claims
- 1. A composition comprising the product of the reaction in an aqueous system of:
- (a) the pendant acid functionality of a polymer prepared from more than one ethylenically unsaturated monomer, including from about 4 to about 90 weight percent of acid-functional monomer(s), said polymer having a calculated T.sub.g of from greater than about room temperature to less than the decomposition temperature of the polymer, with
- (b) a transition metal compound, at a temperature about the calculated T.sub.g of said polymer and below the decomposition temperature of said polymer; for a time sufficient to produce a degree of reaction of said acid and metal indicated by the product having a minimum filming temperature above that of said polymer prior to the reaction; and wherein said reaction product is capable of forming a film.
- 2. The composition of claim 1, wherein the transition metal is selected from the group consisting of zinc, aluminum, tin,. tungsten and zirconium.
- 3. The composition of claim 1, wherein the transition metal compound is an oxide, hydroxide carbonate or acetate.
- 4. The composition of claim 1, wherein the amount of transition metal compound is from about 10 to about 100 percent of the stoichiometric amount based on polymer acid functionality.
- 5. The composition of claim 1 further comprising pigments, fillers wetting, emulsifying and dispersing agents.
- 6. A floor polish composition comprising:
- (a) the composition of claim 1;
- (b) an alkali-soluble resin;
- (c) a wax;
- (d) a wetting agent;
- (e) an emulsifying agent;
- (f) a dispersing agent; and
- (g) water in an amount to make the total solids of the composition from about 2 to about 55 percent.
- 7. The composition of claim 1, wherein the polymer is an aqueous emulsion or dispersion and the transition metal compound is insoluble in water.
