Abstract
Abstract Latices of polymers containing polymerized water-soluble amides may often thicken or gel on storage. The use of small amounts of hydroxylamine sulfate, added usually during processing, after polymerization, during storage or even added after latex thickening has begun, retards thickening and gelling of such latices.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
205 words
A latex composition resistant to thickening or gelling on storage comprising a polymer of greater than 50% by weight of a copolymerization product of (A) acrylic acid ester of the formula ##STR9## wherein R is hydrogen or methyl and R 1 is an alkyl group containing 1 to 8 carbon atoms and (B) at least 0.01 weight part of an amide of the formula selected from the group consisting of (1) CH 2 =CHCONHCH 2 OA wherein A is an alkyl group having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, ##STR10## wherein R 2 is a member of the group consisting of hydrogen and an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R 3 is an alkylene group having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms and R 4 is a member of the group consisting of hydrogen and an alkyl group having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and ##STR11## wherein R 5 is a member of the group consisting of hydrogen and an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms and R 6 is a member of the group consisting of hydrogen and an alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and a stabilizing amount of a hydroxylamine salt.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
205 words
A latex composition resistant to thickening or gelling on storage comprising a polymer of greater than 50% by weight of a copolymerization product of (A) acrylic acid ester of the formula ##STR9## wherein R is hydrogen or methyl and R 1 is an alkyl group containing 1 to 8 carbon atoms and (B) at least 0.01 weight part of an amide of the formula selected from the group consisting of (1) CH 2 =CHCONHCH 2 OA wherein A is an alkyl group having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, ##STR10## wherein R 2 is a member of the group consisting of hydrogen and an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R 3 is an alkylene group having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms and R 4 is a member of the group consisting of hydrogen and an alkyl group having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and ##STR11## wherein R 5 is a member of the group consisting of hydrogen and an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms and R 6 is a member of the group consisting of hydrogen and an alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and a stabilizing amount of a hydroxylamine salt.
