Abstract
Abstract This invention provides a process for preparing a stable aqueous emulsion composition which has excellent properties for application as a wet abrasion-resistant paper coating binder. The dispersed copolymer of the aqueous emulsion composition comprises a major proportion of vinyl acetate and a minor proportion of an amino-containing vinyl monomer. An important aspect of the emulsion preparation method is the addition of an aqueous solution of the amino-containing vinyl monomer as a separate feedstream, wherein the amine group in the said vinyl monomer is in the form of an amine-acid salt.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
99 words
A process for preparing a stable aqueous emulsion composition adapted for application as a wet abrasion-resistant paper coating binder which comprises simultaneously adding to an aqueous medium containing a vinyl polymerization catalyst a combination of copolymerizable monomer components comprising (1) between about 70-95 weight percent of vinyl acetate; (2) an aqueous solution of between about 0.5-10 weight percent of vinyl monomer containing an aliphatic amine-acid salt group; and (3) 0.5-20 weight percent of at least one other vinyl monomer, all based on total monomer weight; wherein the aqueous solution of amino-containing vinyl monomer is added as a separate feedstream.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
