The curing type water base resin composition of the In recent years, Switching from an organic Solvent type present invention shall be explained below in further details. over to a water base type has been being expedited in the In the present specification, an acryloyl group or a meth fields of coating materials, inks and adhesives from the acryloyl group is expressed as a (meth)acryloyl group; Viewpoints of resource Saving, environmental Sanitation, non-public pollution and non-hazardousness. For example, acrylate or methacrylate is expressed as (meth)acrylate; in water base coating materials in the construction field, acrylic acid or methacrylic acid is expressed as (meth) required are coating materials which are dried at a room acrylic acid; acrolein or methacrolein is expressed as (meth) temperature and excellent in coating film performances Such 15 acrolein; acrylamide or meth acrylamide is expressed as as a water resistance, a weatherability and a stain resistance, (meth)acrylamide; and an allyl group or a methallyl group is and emulsion particles having a croSS-linkable carbonyl expressed as a (meth)allyl group. group and acryl base resin compositions comprising a dihy Copolymer (I) drazide compound are disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 249587/1992 as a resin The copolymer (I) is a copolymer which is obtained by composition for a water base cold-dryable coating material copolymerizing the ethylenically unsaturated monomer (a) which Satisfies Such requirement and is Suited to construc having a maleimide groups the ethylenically unsaturated tion use. monomer (b) having a carbonyl group and the other ethyl Further, resin compositions prepared by further blending enically unsaturated monomers (c) and which has a male the above acryl base resin compositions with water base 25 imide group and a carbonyl group in a molecule. polyurethane resins are proposed in Japanese Patent Appli The ethylenically unsaturated monomer (a) having a cation Laid-Open No. 339542/1993, U.S. Pat. No. 5,614,582 maleimide group is used in order to introduce into the (=EP-A-648,794) and Japanese Patent Application Laid copolymer (I), a maleimide group for three-dimensionally Open No. 259356/1998 for the purpose to provide the above croSS-linking a coating film formed from the resin compo acryl base resin compositions with a toughness, a coating Sition of the present invention by optical dimerization by film elasticity and low temperature physical properties. The irradiating with natural light. above compositions are excellent in a Storing property and improve in coating film physical properties by using a Water Included in Such ethylenically unsaturated monomer (a) base polyurethane resin in combination, but a croSS-linking having a maleimide group is a compound hereinafter reaction does not Sufficiently proceed depending on coating 35 referred to merely as an (imide compound) having an environment in a certain case. There is, for example, the ethylenically unsaturated group and a cyclic imide group problem that the water resistance at an initial Stage after represented by the following Formula (1): coating (initial water resistance) is unsatisfactory in coating (1) in the environment in which evaporation of moisture is O notably slow as observed when the ambient temperature is 40 R low. Intensive investigations repeated by the present inventors N in order to solve the problem described above involved in conventional water base cold-dryable Single liquid type R2 coating compositions have resulted in finding that a curing 45 O type water base resin composition capable of forming a coating film which is excellent in a water resistance and a curing property even at an initial Stage after coating regard wherein R' and Reach represent independently a hydrogen less of coating environment can be obtained by introducing atom or an alkyl group, or R' and R represent a group a maleimide group cured by irradiation with natural light 50 forming a carbon ring together with carbon atoms to which into a copolymer having a croSS-linkable carbonyl group, they are bonded. using a hydrazine compound as a cross-linking agent in The ethylenically unsaturated group in the imide com combination and using Supplementarily photocuring caused pound described above includes, for example, a vinyl group, by a maleimide group in combination with a croSS-linking an allyl group and a (meth)acryloyl group, and the (meth) reaction caused by a carbonyl group/cross-linking agent, and 55 acryloyl group is particularly preferred. they have come to complete the present invention. From the Viewpoints of the polymerizing property Thus, the present invention provides a curing type water between the imide compounds and the copolymerizing prop base resin composition comprising: erty with other unsaturated monomers, R' and R in the (I) a copolymer obtained by copolymerizing an ethylenically Formula (1) described above each are independently alkyl unsaturated monomer (a) having a maleimide group, an 60 ethylenically unsaturated monomer (b) having a carbonyl groups, preferably alkyl groups having 4 or leSS Gcarbon group and other ethylenically unsaturated monomer (c) atoms, or groups forming a carbon ring together, for and example -CHCHCH- and -CHCHCHCH-, (II) a compound having two or more groups per molecule preferably -CH2CHCHCH-. which are the same or different and selected from a 65 To be specific, the imide compound includes, for example, hydrazide group, a Semicarbazide group and hydraZone imide (meth)acrylate represented by the following Formula grOup.
