Abstract
Abstract A vinyl acetate copolymerizate of monomers being a free-radical polymerized copolymerizate having monomer units consisting essentially of A. from 60% to 80% by weight of vinyl acetate units, B. from 10% to 20% by weight of units of a maleic acid diester with a straight-chained alkanol-1 having from about 8 to 10 carbon atoms, C. from 5% to 20% by weight of units of a mono-olefinically unsaturated ester having from 6 to 8 carbon atoms and a hydrophilic group, and D. from 3% to 10%, particularly 7%, by weight of crotonic acid; as well as an alcoholic solution thereof and salts thereof.

A vinyl acetate copolymerizate of monomers being a free-radical polymerized copolymerizate having monomer units consisting essentially of a. from 60% to 80% by weight of vinyl acetate units, b. from 10% to 20% by weight of units of a maleic acid diester with straight-chained primary alcohols selected from the group consisting of n-octanol-1, n-decanol-1 and mixtures thereof, c. from 5% to 20% by weight of units of a mono-olefinically unsaturated ester copolymerizable with vinyl acetate and having from 6 to 8 carbon atoms and a hydrophilic group selected from the group consisting of carboxyl groups, hydroxyl groups and keto groups, and d. from 3% to 10% by weight of crotonic acid units; and the copolymers thereof neutralized by salt forming compounds.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
121 words
A vinyl acetate copolymerizate of monomers being a free-radical polymerized copolymerizate having monomer units consisting essentially of a. from 60% to 80% by weight of vinyl acetate units, b. from 10% to 20% by weight of units of a maleic acid diester with straight-chained primary alcohols selected from the group consisting of n-octanol-1, n-decanol-1 and mixtures thereof, c. from 5% to 20% by weight of units of a mono-olefinically unsaturated ester copolymerizable with vinyl acetate and having from 6 to 8 carbon atoms and a hydrophilic group selected from the group consisting of carboxyl groups, hydroxyl groups and keto groups, and d. from 3% to 10% by weight of crotonic acid units; and the copolymers thereof neutralized by salt forming compounds.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
The vinyl acetate copolymerizate of claim 1 wherein units of component (d) are present in an amount of from 3% to 7% by weight.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
The vinyl acetate copolymerizate of claim 1 wherein said maleic acid diester of component (b) is a diester of alcohols produced industrially be polymerization of ethylene on aluminum with subsequent oxidation and hydrolysis.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
41 words
The vinyl acetate copolymerizate of claim 1 wherein said mono-olefinically unsaturated ester copolymerizable with vinyl acetate and having from 6 to 8 carbon atoms of component (c) is selected from the group consisting of monoalkyl maleates, hydroxyalkyl acrylates and hydroxyalkyl methacrylates.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
45 words
