Abstract

An epoxy resin containing a low temperature nonionic surfactant having a molecular weight of less than 7,000 Daltons, a high temperature nonionic surfactant having a molecular weight of greater than 7,000 Daltons, and an anionic surfactant, can be used to prepare an aqueous dispersion of the epoxy resin that has unusually low particle size and unusually long shelf-stability. The dispersion is preferably prepared by way of a high internal phase ratio emulsion.
