Abstract

Abstract Pigmented paper coating compositions comprising a mixture of alkali-soluble and alkali-insoluble polymer latices have greatly improved water retention properties when an emulsion copolymer of butadiene, 20-55% wt. methacrylic acid and 3-35% wt. half ester of a polymerizable dicarboxylic acid and ethoxylated alcohol or alkylphenol is used as the alkali-soluble polymer component.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim 32 words
The composition of claim 1 in which the dicarboxylic acid component of the monoester monomer contained in the alkali-soluble latex is selected from the group consisting of maleic acid and itaconic acid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 58 words
The composition of claim 1 in which the alkali-soluble latex is a copolymer of 28-47% wt. butadiene, 50-60% wt. methacrylic acid and 8-12% wt. monoester of an ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid and an ethoxylated fatty alcohol or ethoxylated alkyl phenol having a degree of ethoxylation of 3 to 20 moles per mole of fatty alcohol or alkyl phenol.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 155 words
A permeable cellulosic substrate having a coating on at least one side which comprises a mixture of pigment or filler with deposited polymeric solids derived from a blend of polymeric latices containing: A. From about 80 to about 95% by wt., basis dry copolymer solids of an alkali-insoluble latex of a copolymer of 35-56% wt. butadiene, 43-65% wt. styrene and 1-5% wt. of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid; and B. From about 20 to about 5% by wt., basis dry copolymer solids, of an alkali-soluble latex of a copolymer of 20-55% wt. butadiene, 40-65% wt. methacrylic acid and 5-15% wt. monoester of an ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid and an ethoxylated fatty alcohol or ethoxylated alkyl phenol having a degree of ethoxylation of 3 to 20 moles per mole of fatty alcohol or alkyl phenol, the coating having been formed by removal of water from an aqueous alkaline dispersion of the mixture deposited on the substrate.
