A solvent-borne acrylate-functionalized alkyd coating composition is disclosed
which includes an acrylate-functionalized alkyd, at least one drier, and an organic
solvent. Also disclosed is a waterborne acrylate-functionalized alkyd coating composition
including an acrylate-functionalized alkyd resin, at least one drier, and water.
The acrylate-functionalized alkyd resin comprises the reaction product of (i) an
alkyd resin having an acid number from greater than 0 to about 10 mg KOH/g, and
(ii) a glycidyl acrylate. Also disclosed are methods of preparing acrylate-functionalized
alkyd coating compositions, and coating compositions made by such methods.
