Abstract

The present invention aims to provide a copolymerized polyester and a resin composition which are excellent in storage stability, water-resistant adhesion, processability, weathering resistance and leveling property. According to the present invention, there is provided a copolymerized polyester containing a polyvalent carboxylic acid component and a polyhydric alcohol component as copolymerization components, wherein, when a content of the polyvalent carboxylic acid component is taken as 100% by mole, a content of an alicyclic polyvalent carboxylic acid component is 50% by mole or more, and wherein the copolymerized polyester has an acid value of 170 to 1000 equivalents/10 6 g.

Claims (16)

1. A copolymerized polyester comprising a polyvalent carboxylic acid component and a polyhydric alcohol component as copolymerization components,

wherein the polyhydric alcohol component is at least one selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,2-butanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, neopentyl glycol, 1,5-pentanediol, 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, 1-methyl-1,8-octanediol, 2-methyl-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol, 2,2-diethyl-1,3-propanediol, 2-ethyl-2-n-propyl-1,3-propanediol, 2,2-di-n-propyl-1,3-propanediol, 2-n-butyl-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol, 2,2-di-n-butyl-1,3-propanediol, 2,4-diethyl-1,5-pentanediol, 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, tricyclodecanedimethanol, polytetramethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, glycerol, trimethylolpropane, trimethylolethane, pentaerythritol, α-methylglucose, mannitol and sorbitol,

wherein, when a content of the polyvalent carboxylic acid component is taken as 100% by mole, a content of an alicyclic polyvalent carboxylic acid component is 70% by mole or more,

wherein the alicyclic polyvalent carboxylic acid component comprises 1,4-cyclohexane-dicarboxylic acid,

wherein the copolymerized polyester has an acid value of 300 to 800 equivalents/10 6 g, and

wherein a copolymerization amount of the polyhydric alcohol component having three or higher valences is 10% by mole or more and 20% by mole or less, when the total content of the polyhydric alcohol component is taken as 100% by mole.

2. The copolymerized polyester according to claim 1 , wherein the alicyclic polyvalent carboxylic acid component further comprises tetrahydrophthalic anhydride.

3. The copolymerized polyester according to claim 1 , wherein a glass transition temperature of the copolymerized polyester is 5° C. or lower.

4. The copolymerized polyester according to claim 1 , wherein a number-average molecular weight of the copolymerized polyester is 10000 g/mol or less.

5. A water dispersion of copolymerized polyester containing the copolymerized polyester according to claim 1 and water.

6. A water dispersion of copolymerized polyester containing a copolymerized polyester comprising a polyvalent carboxylic acid component and a polyhydric alcohol component as copolymerization components, and water,

wherein the polyhydric alcohol component is at least one selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,2-butanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, neopentyl glycol, 1,5-pentanediol, 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, 1-methyl-1,8-octanediol, 2-methyl-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol, 2,2-diethyl-1,3-propanediol, 2-ethyl-2-n-propyl-1,3-propanediol, 2,2-di-n-propyl-1,3-propanediol, 2-n-butyl-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol, 2,2-di-n-butyl-1,3-propanediol, 2,4-diethyl-1,5-pentanediol, 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, tricyclodecanedimethanol, polytetramethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, glycerol, trimethylolpropane, trimethylolethane, pentaerythritol, α-methylglucose, mannitol and sorbitol,

wherein, when a content of the polyvalent carboxylic acid component is taken as 100% by mole, a content of an alicyclic polyvalent carboxylic acid component is 70% by mole or more,

wherein the alicyclic polyvalent carboxylic acid component comprises 1,4-cyclohexane-dicarboxylic acid,

wherein the copolymerized polyester has an acid value of 300 to 800 equivalents/10 6 g, and

wherein a copolymerization amount of the polyhydric alcohol component having three or higher valences is 10% by mole or more and 50% by mole or less, when the total content of the polyhydric alcohol component is taken as 100% by mole.
