Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to preparation of heterogeneous mixtures of (carboxylated) vinyl ester/ethylene dispersions, such as vinyl acetate/ethylene (VAE) dispersions with polyamideamine-epichlorohydrin (PAE) wet strength resins having a reduced amount of halogenated organic compounds, such as less than 1500 ppm. The dispersion offers extremely low free and bound formaldehyde levels combined with wet tensile strength for use in non-woven textile and paper applications.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A low-formaldehyde containing dispersion of a vinyl ester/ethylene copolymer containing copolymerized carboxylic acid groups or salts thereof blended with a wet strength polyamidoamine-epichlorohydrin (PAE) resin; wherein: a) the vinyl ester/ethylene copolymer dispersion is free of reactive N-methylol acrylamide groups; b) the PAE comprises less than 800 ppm halogenated organic compounds; c) the weight ratio of the vinyl ester/ethylene copolymer to the PAE resin is from 75:25 to 40:60; and d) the pH is greater than 7. 2. A composition produced by blending the vinyl ester/ethylene copolymer dispersion and a PAE resin according to claim 1 , wherein the vinyl ester is vinyl acetate.
