Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
138 words
A process for the preparation of vinyl ester latices having improved scrub resistance which comprises first copolymerizing in an aqueous emulsion medium a composition comprising 1. from 10 to 50% of a vinyl ester of a saturated aliphatic alpha-branched monocarboxylic acid with 2. from 0.5 to 5.0% of a glycidyl ester of an alpha, beta-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid having from 3 to 4 carbon atoms, 3. from 49.5 to 89.5% of vinyl acetate or vinyl chloride, 4. from 0.5 to 5.0% of an alphatic alpha, beta-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid having 3 to 4 carbon atoms or a partial ester thereof, and then reacting at from 60° to 90°C the resulting copolymer with ammonia in an amount sufficient to convert at least 50% of the glycidyl groups into hydroxyaminopropyl groups, said percentages being by weight based on total monomers.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
138 words
A process for the preparation of vinyl ester latices having improved scrub resistance which comprises first copolymerizing in an aqueous emulsion medium a composition comprising 1. from 10 to 50% of a vinyl ester of a saturated aliphatic alpha-branched monocarboxylic acid with 2. from 0.5 to 5.0% of a glycidyl ester of an alpha, beta-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid having from 3 to 4 carbon atoms, 3. from 49.5 to 89.5% of vinyl acetate or vinyl chloride, 4. from 0.5 to 5.0% of an alphatic alpha, beta-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid having 3 to 4 carbon atoms or a partial ester thereof, and then reacting at from 60° to 90°C the resulting copolymer with ammonia in an amount sufficient to convert at least 50% of the glycidyl groups into hydroxyaminopropyl groups, said percentages being by weight based on total monomers.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
A process as in claim 1 wherein component (1) is a vinyl ester of a saturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acid having 9 to 11 carbon atoms per molecule.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
12 words
A process as in claim 1 wherein component (2) is glycidyl methacrylate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
A process as in claim 3 wherein the amount of glycidyl methacrylate is from 0.5 to 3.0%.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
A process as in claim 1 wherein the copolymer formed is reacted with sufficient ammonia to convert all the glycidyl groups into hydroxyaminopropyl groups.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
118 words
A process for the preparation of a vinyl ester copolymer latex having improved scrub resistance which comprises A. first copolymerizing in an aqueous emulsion medium a composition comprising 1. from 10 to 50% of a vinyl ester of a saturated alpha-branched monocarboxylic acid having from 9 to 11 carbon atoms per molecule, 2. from 49.5 to 89.5% of vinyl acetate, 3. from 0.5 to 5.0% of glycidyl methacrylate, and 4. from 0.5 to 5% of acrylic acid, and B. then reacting the resulting copolymer at from 60° to 90°C with ammonia in an amount sufficient to convert at least 50% of the glycidyl groups into hydroxyaminopropyl groups, said percentages being by weight based on the total monomers present.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
