Abstract
Abstract Low-viscosity acrylate hydrosols based on (meth)-acrylic acid esters and other monomers, such as styrene, methyl styrene, acrylonitrile, vinyl acetate and/or vinyl chloride, which are produced in the presence of a special mixed emulsifier of an alkyl phenol ether sulfate and an α-sulfocarboxylic acid and/or an ester thereof with a C 1 to C 4 -alcohol.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
148 words
In a process for the preparation of an acrylate hydrosol by the polymerization of (a) from about 30 to about 99% by weight of at least one (meth)acrylic acid ester of a C 1-8 alcohol, (b) from about 0.5 to about 7% by weight of at least one ethylenically unsaturated acid or amide thereof, and (c) from 0 to about 70% by weight of at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of styrene, methyl styrene, acrylonitrile, vinyl acetate, and vinyl chloride in aqueous emulsion, the improvement comprising carrying out the polymerization in the presence of an effective quantity of an emulsifier mixture of (i) at least one alkyl phenol ether sulfate and (ii) at least one of an α-sulfocarboxylic acid, a C 1-4 ester thereof, or a salt of either of the foregoing, wherein the caroboxylic acid portion thereof contains from 8 to 24 carbon atoms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
148 words
In a process for the preparation of an acrylate hydrosol by the polymerization of (a) from about 30 to about 99% by weight of at least one (meth)acrylic acid ester of a C 1-8 alcohol, (b) from about 0.5 to about 7% by weight of at least one ethylenically unsaturated acid or amide thereof, and (c) from 0 to about 70% by weight of at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of styrene, methyl styrene, acrylonitrile, vinyl acetate, and vinyl chloride in aqueous emulsion, the improvement comprising carrying out the polymerization in the presence of an effective quantity of an emulsifier mixture of (i) at least one alkyl phenol ether sulfate and (ii) at least one of an α-sulfocarboxylic acid, a C 1-4 ester thereof, or a salt of either of the foregoing, wherein the caroboxylic acid portion thereof contains from 8 to 24 carbon atoms.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein the acrylate hydrosol contains from about 0.5 to about 4% by weight of (i) and from about 1 to about 7 percent by weight of (ii).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
A process in accordance with claim 2 wherein from about 1 to 3% by weight of (i) and from about 1.5 to 5% by weight of (ii) are present in the acrylate hydrosol.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein the polymerization is carried out in the presence of a radical initiator, a regulator, or both.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein in (ii) from 11 to 18 carbon atoms are in the carboxylic acid portion.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
31 words
A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein (i) is the reaction product of 1 mole of nonyl phenol and/or octyl phenol with from 4 to 30 moles of ethylene oxide.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
21 words
A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein the total solids content of the hydrosol is more than 40% by weight.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
32 words
A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein (a) is a (meth)acrylic acid ester wherein the ester is selected from the group consisting of the methyl, ethyl, butyl and 2-ethyl hexyl esters.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
54 words
A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein component (b) is selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, itaconic acid, crotonic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, a semi-ester of itaconic acid, maleic acid, or fumaric acid with a C 1 -C 5 -alcohol, vinyl sulfonic acid, and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
22 words
A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein in (ii) the carboxylic acid portion is derived from a naturally occurring fatty acid.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
23 words
A process in accordance with claim 10 wherein in (ii) the carboxylic acid portion is derived from a naturally occurring saturated fatty acid.
