Abstract
Abstract The inventive vehicle, or binder, for water based gloss paints contains, dispersed in a aqueous phase, particles of a multiphase emulsion polymer made up of (a) core material having a glass transition temperature exceeding 40 DEG C. and (b) a shell material having a glass transition temperature of less than 70 DEG C. and at least 20 K. below that of the core material. The particles have an average diameter of less than 200 nm. The composition of the shell material includes an emulsion polymer with at least 4 percent by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid and more than 80 percent by weight of one or more monomers from the group consisting of styrene and alkyl esters of acrylic and/or methacrylic acid. Paint coats produced with this vehicle are distinguished by a high blocking point.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
140 words
A vehicle or binder for water based gloss paints consisting of an aqueous phase and, dispersed therein, particles of a multiphase emulsion polymer having an average particle diameter less than 200 nanometers and comprising (a) a polymeric core having a glass transition temperature greater than 40° C. and (b) a polymeric shell having a glass transition temperature less than 70° C. and at least 20 Centigrade degrees below that of said polymeric core, said shell including an emulsion polymer containing at least 4 percent by weight of polymerized units of an ethylenically unsaturated free radically polymerizable carboxylic acid monomer and more than 80 percent by weight of polymerized units of at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of styrene and alkyl esters of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid having at least 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl group.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
140 words
A vehicle or binder for water based gloss paints consisting of an aqueous phase and, dispersed therein, particles of a multiphase emulsion polymer having an average particle diameter less than 200 nanometers and comprising (a) a polymeric core having a glass transition temperature greater than 40° C. and (b) a polymeric shell having a glass transition temperature less than 70° C. and at least 20 Centigrade degrees below that of said polymeric core, said shell including an emulsion polymer containing at least 4 percent by weight of polymerized units of an ethylenically unsaturated free radically polymerizable carboxylic acid monomer and more than 80 percent by weight of polymerized units of at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of styrene and alkyl esters of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid having at least 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl group.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
A vehicle as in claim 1 wherein said polymeric shell includes polymerized units of an adhesive monomer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
A vehicle as in claim 2 wherein said adhesive monomer is a nitrogenous monomer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
44 words
A vehicle as in claim 2 wherein said polymeric shell consists of two emulsion polymers, one of which contains a major portion of said units of carboxylic acid monomer and the other of which contains a major portion of said units of adhesive monomer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
A vehicle as in claim 3 wherein said nitrogenous adhesive monomer is an ethylenically unsaturated free radically polymerizable monomer comprising an amino, ureido, or N-hetercyclic group.
