An air drying waterborne resin composition is disclosed. Said resin
composition comprises at least one amphiphlic air drying dendritic
polymer, at least one non-amphiphilic air drying alkyd resin, at least
one drier initiating and/or promoting autoxidation, and water, and
optionally at least one anionic and/or nonionic surfactant, and/or at
least one coalescent agent. Said at least one amphiphilic air drying
dendritic polymer is built up from a polyhydric dendritic core polymer
having terminal hydroxyl groups and at least one unsaturated carboxylic
acid and at least one adduct, obtainable by addition of a monoalkylated
polyethylene glycol to a dicarboxylic acid or anhydride and/or a
diisocyanate, each bonded to at least one terminal hydroxyl group in said
polyhydric dendritic core polymer.
