Abstract
Abstract A protective colloid-free plastics dispersion yielding after drying a polymer film which under the influence of moisture has no or little tendency to whitening contains polymer particles having a bimodal size distribution, that is, on the one hand relatively coarse particles and on the other hand relatively fine particles. The polymer component consists of at least 10 weight % of particles having an average diameter of less than 0.2 mu m and of 90 weight % at most of particles having an average diameter of more than 0.25 mu m, and the ratio of average grain size of coarse to fine polymer is at least 2:1. The plastics dispersion is suitable especially as binder dispersion in plasters and gloss paints.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
A protective colloid free plastics aqueous dispersion having a bimodal particle size distribution, wherein the plastics portion consists of from 60 to 80 weight % of a coarse-grain polymer having an average particle size of more than 0.25 μm and from 40 to 20 weight % of a fine-grain polymer having an average particle size of below 0.2 μm, the average particle size ratio of said coarse-grain polymer to said fine-grain polymer being at least 2:1, and wherein the coarse-grain polymer and the fine-grain polymer are copolymers consisting essentially of styrene and/or esters of acrylic acid or esters of methacrylic acid and, optionally, unsaturated acids or amides of unsaturated acids in an amount of below 10 weight percent (relative to the total monomers) and, optionally, monomers capable of being cross-linked in an amount of up to 5 weight percent (relative to the total of monomers).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
145 words
A protective colloid free plastics aqueous dispersion having a bimodal particle size distribution, wherein the plastics portion consists of from 60 to 80 weight % of a coarse-grain polymer having an average particle size of more than 0.25 μm and from 40 to 20 weight % of a fine-grain polymer having an average particle size of below 0.2 μm, the average particle size ratio of said coarse-grain polymer to said fine-grain polymer being at least 2:1, and wherein the coarse-grain polymer and the fine-grain polymer are copolymers consisting essentially of styrene and/or esters of acrylic acid or esters of methacrylic acid and, optionally, unsaturated acids or amides of unsaturated acids in an amount of below 10 weight percent (relative to the total monomers) and, optionally, monomers capable of being cross-linked in an amount of up to 5 weight percent (relative to the total of monomers).
