Abstract
Abstract Universal pigment dispersions for use in surface-coating compositions contain as dispersant water-soluble salts of polymers prepared from monomer mixtures containing 30% to 75% by weight of at least one hydroxyalkyl methacrylate wherein the hydroxyalkyl group has 2 to 4 carbon atoms, 20% to 65% by weight of methacrylic acid, and 2% to 20% by weight of at least one other ethylenically-unsaturated monomer, such as styrene and/or glycidyl methacrylate.
