Abstract
Abstract A latex obtained by emulsion polymerizing (a) 50 to 95 parts by weight of vinylidene chloride; (b) 0.5 to 30 parts by weight of propylene; (c) 4.5 to 20 parts by weight of a comonomer such as methyl acrylate; and, optionally, (d) no more than 5 parts by weight of a polar comonomer such as acrylic acid. Such latices are eminently suited for use as coating compositions due to their superior low temperature heat-sealing properties and decreased blocking tendencies.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
An aqueous polymer latex coating composition comprising the product obtained by emulsion polymerizing a monomer mixture consisting essentially of (a) about 50 to 95 parts by weight of vinylidene chloride; (b) about 0.5 to 30 parts by weight of propylene; (c) about 4.5 to 20 parts by weight of at least one comonomer selected from the group consisting of alkyl esters of acrylic and methacrylic acids, glycidyl esters of acrylic and methacrylic acids, nitriles of ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acids, vinyl chloride, and styrene; and, optionally, (d) not more than about 5 parts by weight of at least one polar comonomer selected from the group consisting of unsaturated carboxylic acids, unsaturated amides, and hydroxyalkyl esters of unsaturated carboxylic acids.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
118 words
An aqueous polymer latex coating composition comprising the product obtained by emulsion polymerizing a monomer mixture consisting essentially of (a) about 50 to 95 parts by weight of vinylidene chloride; (b) about 0.5 to 30 parts by weight of propylene; (c) about 4.5 to 20 parts by weight of at least one comonomer selected from the group consisting of alkyl esters of acrylic and methacrylic acids, glycidyl esters of acrylic and methacrylic acids, nitriles of ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acids, vinyl chloride, and styrene; and, optionally, (d) not more than about 5 parts by weight of at least one polar comonomer selected from the group consisting of unsaturated carboxylic acids, unsaturated amides, and hydroxyalkyl esters of unsaturated carboxylic acids.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
59 words
A latex coating composition according to claim 1 wherein the monomeric mixture consists essentially of (a) about 77 to 82 parts by weight of vinylidene chloride; (b) about 13 to 17 parts by weight of propylene; (c) about 4.5 to 5 parts by weight of methyl acrylate; and (d) less than about 2 parts by weight of acrylic acid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
A process for coating surfaces of manufactured articles which comprises coating at least one surface of a substrate with a latex coating composition as described in claims 1 or 2.
