Abstract

The present invention relates to a polymer dispersion of polymer particles comprising phosphorous-containing (meth)acrylate monomers and phosphorus-containing allylic monomers. The present invention further relates to a coating composition made from the polymer dispersion with both satisfactory coating viscosity stability and improved coating performances such as scrub resistance, stain resistance, corrosion resistance and durability.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A polymer dispersion of polymer particles comprising, by dry weight based on total weight of the polymer particles, from 85% to 99.9% of ethylenically unsaturated nonionic monomers; from 0.01% to 4% of phosphorous-containing (meth)acrylate monomers; and from 0.01% to 3% of phosphorus-containing allylic monomers.

2. The polymer dispersion according to claim 1 further comprising, by dry weight based on total weight of the polymer particles, from 0.01% to 5% of stabilizer monomers.

3. The polymer dispersion according to claim 1 wherein the ethylenically unsaturated nonionic monomers are selected from alkyl esters of (methyl) acrylic acids, (meth)acrylonitrile, (meth)acrylamide, amino-functional and ureido-functional monomers, monomers bearing acetoacetate-functional groups, monomers bearing carbonyl-containing groups, ethylenically unsaturated monomers having a benzene ring, butadiene, α-olefins, vinyl esters, vinyl monomers, glycidyl (meth)acrylate, or any combination thereof.

4. The polymer dispersion according to claim 3 wherein the ethylenically unsaturated nonionic monomers are selected from styrene, C 2 -C 12 alkyl esters of (methyl) acrylic acids, or any combination thereof.

5. The polymer dispersion according to claim 1 wherein the phosphorus-containing (meth)acrylate monomers are selected from phosphoalkyl (meth)acrylates and salts thereof, phosphoalkoxy (meth)acrylates and salts thereof, or any combination thereof.

6. The polymer dispersion according to claim 5 wherein the phosphorus-containing (meth)acrylate monomers are mono- or di-ester of phosphoethyl methacrylates.

7. The polymer dispersion according to claim 1 wherein the phosphorus-containing allylic monomer has a chemical structure of formula (I):
[CH 2 ═CH—CH 2 —R 2 —O—] x P(═O)(OM) 3-x   (I),

wherein R 2 is a linking divalent group,
x is an average number of from 1 to 2, and
M, identical or different, is a hydrogen atom or a cationic counter-ion.

8. The polymer dispersion according to claim 7 wherein x is from 1 to 1.5.

9. The polymer dispersion according to claim 7 wherein R 2 is a (poly)oxyalkylene group of formula —[O-A-] n -, wherein:
A, identical or different, is a group of formula —CH 2 —CH 2 — or —CH 2 —CH(CH 3 )—, or —CH(CH 3 )—CH 2 —, and
n is an average number of at least 1.

10. A coating composition comprising the polymer dispersion according to claim 1 .
