Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a composition of a stable aqueous dispersion of polymer particles comprising structural units of a) vinyl acetate; b) a vinyl ester of a branched carboxylic acid monomer; and c) a phosphorus acid monomer. The composition of the present invention provides vinyl ester/phosphorus acid based polymer particles that improve hiding efficiency in pigmented coatings formulations.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A composition comprising a stable aqueous dispersion of polymer particles comprising, based on the weight of the polymer particles, from 63.9 to 90 weight percent structural units of vinyl acetate, from 0.1 to 5 weight percent structural units of a phosphoethyl methacrylate or a salt thereof, and from 5 to 34.4 weight percent structural units of a vinyl ester of a branched carboxylic acid monomer characterized by the following formula: where R 1 and R 2 are each independently C 1 -C 10 -alkyl. 2. The composition of claim 1 wherein the polymer particles further comprise from 0.1 to 2.0 weight percent structural units of a sulfur acid monomer or a salt thereof, based on the weight of the polymer particles; and/or from 0.1 to 50 weight percent structural units of an acrylate monomer, based on the weight of the polymer particles. 3. The composition of claim 1 wherein the polymer particles further comprise from 0.1 to 2 weight percent structural units of 2 acrylamido-2-methyl propanesulfonic acid or vinyl sulfonic acid or salts thereof and from 1 to 30 weight percent structural units of butyl acrylate, based on the weight of the polymer particles. 4. The composition of claim 1 which further comprises TiO 2 particles, wherein at least some of the polymer particles adsorb onto the surface of the TiO 2 particles. 5. The composition of claim 4 which further includes one or more components selected from the group consisting of consisting of a rheology modifier, a defoamer, a surfactant, a dispersant, an extender, a solvent, a preservative, and a coalescent.
