Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method of making a styrene-free polymer emulsion comprising at least one resin, wherein said resin is derived from a biorenewable source. The aqueous emulsions of the present disclosure are suitable for use in coatings.
Abstract:
Described is an aqueous composition comprising (a) at least one polyanion, (b) at least one ethoxylated cationic polymer, and (c) at least one phyllosilicate. The composition can be used for providing oxygen barrier properties to a polymer film.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a readily water-redispersible polymer powder by spray drying of an aqueous polymer B dispersion, wherein the spray drying of the aqueous polymer B dispersion is effected in the presence of a polymer A, wherein polymer A has a glass transition temperature ≧60° C., a weight average molecular weight Mw≧1000 and ≦25000 g/mol, a polydispersity index ≦5 and is composed of ≧5 and ≦50 wt % of at least one α,β-monoethylenically un-saturated mono- or dicarboxylic acid and/or anhydride (monomer A1), and ≧50 and ≦95 wt % of at least one other ethylenically un-saturated compound which is copolymerizable with the monomers A1 (monomer A2), in polymerized form, wherein the monomer amounts A1 and A2 sum up to 100 wt %.
