    摘要: The invention relates to an aqueous polymer dispersion and its preparation. The dispersion comprises a styrene acrylate polymer, which is obtainable by free-radical polymerisation of 1-90 weight-% of monomer (a), which comprises at least one optionally substituted styrene; 10-99 weight-% of monomer (b), which comprises at least one alkyl (meth)acrylate, and 0-9 weight-% of monomer (c), which comprises at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer, which is different from monomer (b). The polymerisation is conducted in a polymerisation medium comprising a cationic prepolymer, which is obtainable by free radical polymerisation of at least 10-55 weight-% of a monomer (i), which comprises at least one ethylenically unsaturated quaternary and/or tertiary amine, 35-90 weight-% of a monomer (ii), which comprises at least one optionally substituted styrene, and 0-55 weight-% of a monomer (iii), which comprises at least one alkyl (meth)acrylate. The oligomer content in the polymer dispersion is ≤1.4 weight-%, calculated from the dry polymer content.
