Abstract
Abstract A cold sealable emulsion polymerized terpolymer cohesive formulation which has low surface tack characteristics, prepared from the emulsion polymerization of a first monomer selected from the group consisting of ethyl acrylate, hexyl acrylate, isooctyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, methyl acrylate and vinylidene chloride, a second monomer selected from the group consisting of vinyl acetate, methyl methacrylate, styrene, ethyl methacrylate and isobutyl methacrylate and a third monomer selected from the group consisting of methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, itaconic acid, sulfoethyl methacrylate and malic acid with the proviso that each of said first, second and third monomers are different.
