Thus, water reducible epoxy resins are prepared by reacting a polyglycidyl ether of a polyphenol having a 1,2 epoxy equivalency greater than 1.0 with an amino acid containing at least one amine group and one carboxyl group, wherein the amine group of the acid is preferentially reactive with {HEAD ~ the epoxy groups} of {TAIL ~ the polyglycidyl ether}
