Abstract

An aqueous dispersion of a graft-copolymer (A), dispersed in water or a mixed solvent (B) of water and a water-soluble organic solvent, the graft-copolymer (A) comprising a polyester (A-a) graft-polymerized with a radical copolymerizable monomer (A-b) comprising a radical copolymerizable monomer having a hydrophilic group, wherein said graft-copolymer (A) is dispersed as fine particles having an average particle size of not more than 500 nm and a half band width of a signal of a carbon of a carbonyl group of the polyester, as determined by .sup.13 C-NMR, is not less than 300 Hz. The aqueous polyester dispersion of the present invention is superior in re-dispersibility and when a paint prepared from the dispersion is coated on a metal or a plastic, the coated film shows superior appearance, processability and water resistance. Accordingly, the aqueous dispersion of the present invention serves well for use for paints, ink, coating agents, adhesives and various treating agents.
