Abstract:
The use in paper coatings is described of a mixture of an aqueous secondary dispersion of a polymer selected from polyalkylene carbonates, polyesters and polyethylene and an aqueous primary dispersion of an emulsion polymer having a glass transition temperature of below 50° C.
Abstract:
Paper coating compositions comprise inorganic pigments and an aqueous polymeric dispersion comprising dispersed polymeric particles. The polymers are obtainable by polymerization of a first monomer that is liquid at room temperature, has a boiling point of at least 50° C. and a glass transition temperature of at least 20° C. as homopolymer, and a second monomer that is gaseous at room temperature, has a boiling point of below 0° C. and a glass transition temperature of below −30° C. as homopolymer. The dispersed polymeric particles have an average size of below 150 nm and a glass transition temperature in the range from −10 to +30° C.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for producing an aqueous polymer dispersion by free-radically initiated aqueous emulsion polymerization, and also to the aqueous polymer dispersions produced by the process and to the use of these as a binder, adhesive, sizing agent for fibers, for the production of coatings or for the production of a paper coating slip.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for preparing an aqueous dispersion of a polymer P, which comprises the emulsion polymerization of vinyl acetate, an acrylate monomer, which is a C1-C10 alkyl acrylate or a C1-C10 methacrylate, an α,β-ethylenically unsaturated C3-C8 carboxylic acid, glycidyl methacrylate or glycidyl acrylate, optionally an ethylenically unsaturated sulfonic acid and optionally an ethylenically unsaturated other monomer. Furthermore, the aqueous polymer dispersion obtainable from this process and a powder form thereof are disclosed. They are useful for a paper coating slip containing one of the aforementioned forms. A paper or a cardboard, which is coated with the paper coating slip, shows surface strength, which is expressed by a good dry pick resistance, a good wet pick resistance or good offset test results. The aqueous polymer dispersion or the powder form thereof is furthermore useful as a binder.
Abstract:
Described is an aqueous polymer dispersion comprising a chain growth addition polymer obtainable via free-radically initiated emulsion polymerization from ethylenically unsaturated, free-radically polymerizable monomers, wherein the chain growth addition polymer is formed to an extent of not less than 60 wt % from primary monomers selected from vinylaromatic compounds, conjugated aliphatic dienes, vinyl esters of saturated C1- to C20-carboxylic acids, esters of acrylic acid or of methacrylic acid with monohydric C1- to C20-alcohols, aliphatic hydrocarbons having 2 to 8 carbon atoms and one or two double bonds, or mixtures thereof, wherein the monomers are polymerized in the presence of lignosulfonate and wherein the chain growth addition polymer is branched or crosslinked. Also described is a process for preparing the aqueous polymer dispersion. The polymer dispersion is useful for preparing paper coating compositions.
