Abstract
Abstract Improved copolymer latexes and flame-retardant or self-extinguishing adhesive compositions comprising such latexes are provided wherein the copolymer particles of the latexes are beneficially composed of from about 5 to about 60 weight percent of an aliphatic conjugated diolefin; from about 5 to about 55 weight percent of an aromatic vinyl monomer, an acrylate ester or a methacrylate ester; from about 0.5 to about 10 weight percent of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid; and from about 25 to about 70 weight percent of vinylidene chloride and wherein the copolymer latexes are obtained by first emulsion copolymerizing a first monomer mixture which includes substantially all of the vinylidene chloride, and then emulsion copolymerizing, in the presence of the first copolymerization product, a second monomer mixture which includes substantially all of the aliphatic conjugated diolefin and substantially all of any aromatic vinyl monomer to be employed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
A copolymer latex which is obtained from emulsion copolymerization, in aqueous medium, of monomers consisting essentially of from about 5 to about 60 weight percent of an aliphatic conjugated diolefin, from about 5 to about 55 weight percent of a monoolefinic monomer selected from the group consisting of aromatic vinyl monomers, acrylate esters and methacrylate esters, from about 0.5 to about 10 weight percent of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid, and from about 25 to about 70 weight percent of vinylidene chloride, said copolymerization being arranged such that a first monomer mixture containing substantially all of the vinylidene chloride monomer and also containing acrylate or methacrylate ester monomer is first subjected to emulsion copolymerization and, then, a second monomer mixture containing substantially all of the aliphatic conjugated diolefin and substantially all of any aromatic vinyl monomer employed is subjected to emulsion copolymerization in the presence of the first copolymerization product.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
150 words
A copolymer latex which is obtained from emulsion copolymerization, in aqueous medium, of monomers consisting essentially of from about 5 to about 60 weight percent of an aliphatic conjugated diolefin, from about 5 to about 55 weight percent of a monoolefinic monomer selected from the group consisting of aromatic vinyl monomers, acrylate esters and methacrylate esters, from about 0.5 to about 10 weight percent of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid, and from about 25 to about 70 weight percent of vinylidene chloride, said copolymerization being arranged such that a first monomer mixture containing substantially all of the vinylidene chloride monomer and also containing acrylate or methacrylate ester monomer is first subjected to emulsion copolymerization and, then, a second monomer mixture containing substantially all of the aliphatic conjugated diolefin and substantially all of any aromatic vinyl monomer employed is subjected to emulsion copolymerization in the presence of the first copolymerization product.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words

Dependent Claim
18 words
A flame-retardant or self-extinguishing adhesive composition comprising as a principal component thereof the copolymer latex of claim 1.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
23 words
A fibrous article comprising copolymer solids of the copolymer latex of claim 1 as an adhesive binder therein or an adhesive coating thereon.
