Abstract
Abstract A polymer of vinylacetate and a vinylalkoxysilane wherein the alkoxy groups of said vinylalkoxysilane are in a saponified form and the acetyl groups of said vinylacetate are at least partially saponified, the vinyl silane radicals of said copolymer having the formula ##STR1## WHEREIN R is hydrogen, aryl, cycloalkyl or a branched or unbranched saturated alkyl of 1 to 18 carbon atoms; Ma is an alkali metal, NH 4 or H; n is 0 to 2; A process for preparing such a saponified copolymer by contacting a solution of vinylacetate-vinylalkoxysilane copolymer with an alcoholic solution of an alkali metal hydroxide, isolating a precipitated copolymer and dissolving said copolymer in an aqueous alkali metal hydroxide or aqueous ammonia solution; the use of said copolymer as a surface coating agent for inorganic silicaceous substrates.
