Abstract:
Use of an aqueous polymer composition as binder for fibrous and particulate substrates, wherein the aqueous polymer composition can be obtained by free-radically initiated emulsion polymerization of a monomer mixture M in an aqueous medium in the presence of a polymer A. The polymer A is made up of from 80 to 100% by weight of at least one ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic and/or dicarboxylic acid and from 0 to 20% by weight of a further ethylenically unsaturated monomer. The monomer mixture M is composed of from 0.01 to 10% by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer containing an epoxide and/or hydroxyalkyl group and from 90 to 99.99% by weight of a further ethylenically unsaturated monomer.

Abstract:
Disclosed herein are compositions comprising a first copolymer derived from monomers comprising a (meth)acrylate monomer, an acid monomer, and optionally at least one additional monomer selected from the group consisting of styrene, a-methyl-styrene, vinyl toluene, and mixtures thereof, wherein the first copolymer is derived in the absence of a molecular weight regulator and wherein the first copolymer has a weight average molecular weight of less than 10,000 Daltons, and methods of making the same. The compositions and methods disclosed can be used, for instance, in pressure-sensitive adhesive applications.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an aqueous dispersion, containing at least one polymerisate dispersed in water having a weight average molecular weight of less than 50,000 and a glass transition temperature of -40 °C to 0 °C, which can be produced by emulsion polymerisation in the presence of at least one molecular weight regulator from a monomer mixture containing at least 40% by weight C1 to C20 alkyl (meth)acrylate, 0 to 30% by weight vinyl aromatics, at least 0.1% by weight acid monomers, and 0 to 50% by weight further monomers. The dispersion can in particular be used as a tackifier for adhesives.
