Abstract
Abstract A low-odor aqueous binder dispersion containing as copolymerized units, and based on solids content, (a) from 25 to 57.5% by weight of butadiene or of butadiene and an acrylic acid ester, the content of copolymerized butadiene being not less than 15% by weight, (b) from 40 to 70% by weight of styrene, (c) from 1 to 5% by weight of maleic acid or maleic anhydride and (d) from 1.5 to 7% by weight of methacrylamide, for use in paper-coating compositions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
85 words
An aqueous dispersion of a butadiene-styrene copolymer which comprises: (a) from 25 to 57.5% by weight of a mixture of butadiene and copolymerized units of an acrylic acid ester of an alcohol of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, said mixture not being less than 15% by weight of butadiene units, (b) from 40 to 70% by weight of styrene, (c) from 1 to 5% by weight of maleic acid or maleic anhydride and (d) from 1.5 to 7% by weight of methacrylamide, as copolymerized units.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
85 words
An aqueous dispersion of a butadiene-styrene copolymer which comprises: (a) from 25 to 57.5% by weight of a mixture of butadiene and copolymerized units of an acrylic acid ester of an alcohol of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, said mixture not being less than 15% by weight of butadiene units, (b) from 40 to 70% by weight of styrene, (c) from 1 to 5% by weight of maleic acid or maleic anhydride and (d) from 1.5 to 7% by weight of methacrylamide, as copolymerized units.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
71 words
A binder dispersion as claimed in claim 1, which contains, as an auxiliary, from 2 to 50% by weight, expressed as solids/solids, of a copolymer which acts as a thickener and contains, as copolymerized units, from 15 to 55% by weight of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, from 0 to 10% by weight of acrylamide or methacrylamide and from 85 to 45% by weight of hydrophobic monomers which form water-insoluble homopolymers.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim

Dependent Claim
21 words
The aqueous dispersion according to claim 6 wherein said pigments are clay minerals, calcium carbonates, calcium aluminum pigments or titanium dioxide.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
18 words
