Abstract:
Disclosed are aqueous polymer dispersions which can be used as binders in paper coating compositions. Such dispersions are made using a continuous polymerization process involving a tubular reactor with a continuous loop section and a secondary line section and comprise a polymer of polymerized copolymers (a) a vinyl ester, (b) an ethylenically unsaturated mono or di-carboxylic acid or half ester of a di-carboxylic acid, and (c) a comonomer having a multifunctional moiety.

Abstract:
Disclosed are aqueous compositions suitable for use as binders or adhesives in carpet products. Such compositions, prior to being applied to carpet substrates and cured, comprise vinyl ester/ethylene copolymer dispersions, along with other optional comonomers. The compositions are made by a continuous emulsion polymerisation that utilises a continuous loop reactor with a secondary line section. Carpet products which utilise such coating compositions to provide binder and/or adhesive layer within the carpet are also disclosed.
Abstract:
In a continuous emulsion polymerization process, at least one monomer, an aqueous phase, and at least two different redox initiators are added to a continuous polymerization reactor comprising a first zone and a second zone. At least one redox initiator is added to the first zone and at least one redox initiator is added to the second zone.
