Abstract
Abstract Ethylenically unsaturated azolide compounds are interpolymerized with acrylic ester monomers via an emulsion polymerization process. Di- or polyfunctional alcohols or amines are admixed with the resulting latexes to form latex compositions which are particularly useful as binders for nonwoven fibers. The latex compositions are stable at room temperatures, but upon drying and heating readily, yield crosslinked polymeric vulcanizates.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
192 words
A latex composition comprising (A) 100 parts by weight of a latex containing a polymer consisting essentially of interpolymerized units of (1) from about 50 percent to about 99.5 percent by weight of an acrylic ester monomer of the formula ##EQU6## wherein R is hydrogen, or a methyl or ethyl radical and R a is selected from the group consisting of alkyl radicals containing 1 to about 24 carbon atoms and alkoxyalkyl radicals, containing 2 to about 12 carbon atoms total in the radical, (2) from about 0.5 percent to about 50 percent by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated azolide of the formula ##EQU7## wherein R is defined as above and X is an azole radical comprised of a 5-membered unsaturated heterocyclic ring having at least two nitrogen atoms and two conjugated double bonds contained therein, where the carbonyl structure is directly attached to a nitrogen atom of the azole, and (3) up to 20 percent by weight of a copolymerizable vinylidene monomer, and (B) from about 0.5 part to about 10 parts by weight based upon 100 parts by weight of polymer in the latex of a di- or polyfunctional alcohol.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
192 words
A latex composition comprising (A) 100 parts by weight of a latex containing a polymer consisting essentially of interpolymerized units of (1) from about 50 percent to about 99.5 percent by weight of an acrylic ester monomer of the formula ##EQU6## wherein R is hydrogen, or a methyl or ethyl radical and R a is selected from the group consisting of alkyl radicals containing 1 to about 24 carbon atoms and alkoxyalkyl radicals, containing 2 to about 12 carbon atoms total in the radical, (2) from about 0.5 percent to about 50 percent by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated azolide of the formula ##EQU7## wherein R is defined as above and X is an azole radical comprised of a 5-membered unsaturated heterocyclic ring having at least two nitrogen atoms and two conjugated double bonds contained therein, where the carbonyl structure is directly attached to a nitrogen atom of the azole, and (3) up to 20 percent by weight of a copolymerizable vinylidene monomer, and (B) from about 0.5 part to about 10 parts by weight based upon 100 parts by weight of polymer in the latex of a di- or polyfunctional alcohol.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
A latex composition of claim 1 where in (B), the alcohol is an alkylenediol.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
109 words
A latex composition of claim 2 where in (A), the polymer consists essentially of interpolymerized units of (1) from about 70 percent to about 99 percent by weight of said acrylic ester monomer wherein R a is an alkyl radical containing 1 to about 18 carbon atoms or an alkoxyalkyl radical containing 2 to about 8 carbon atoms total, (2) from about 1 percent to about 10 percent by weight of said ethylenically unsaturated azolide, and (3) up to about 20 percent by weight of a copolymerizable vinylidene monomer selected from the group consisting of styrene, α-methyl styrene, acrylonitrile, acrylamide, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, butadiene, and isoprene.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
A latex composition of claim 3 where in (A), the azole radical is selected from the group consisting of imidazoles, pyrazoles, benzimidazoles and benzotriazoles.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
15 words
A latex composition of claim 3 where in (A), the ethylenically unsaturated azolide is N-acrylyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazole.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
A latex composition of claim 5 where in (A) the acrylic ester monomer is ethyl acrylate and in (B) the alkylenediol is 1,6-hexanediol.
