Claim 1
Independent Claim
195 words
An organic dispersion polymer based on ethylenically unsaturated, polymerizable or copolymerizable monomers which has been prepared in the presence of protective colloids or protective colloids and emulsifiers by emulsion, suspension or bead polymerization or copolymerization, initiated by free radicals in an aqueous medium and are in aqueous dispersion form or in finely dispersed dry powder form, which contain, as protective colloids, water-soluble graft polymers containing vinyl alcohol units on a polyurethane grafting base, the polyurethane grafting bases containing at least 2 urethane groups in the molecule prepared by reacting diisocyanates and optionally small amounts of monofunctional isocyanates, with diols and optionally half-esterified or half-etherified diol radicals, and grafted thereon polymer radicals or polymeric chains of units of carboxylic acid vinyl esters having 3 to 20 carbon atoms and hydrolysis products thereof and optionally units of at least one other ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable and optionally hydrolyzable monomers and hydrolysis products thereof, the amount of vinyl alcohol units in the water-soluble graft polymers being at least 20% by weight, based on the water-soluble graft polymer, and the degree of hydrolysis of the monomer units originally grafted onto the polyurethane grafting base being at least 50 mol %.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
195 words
An organic dispersion polymer based on ethylenically unsaturated, polymerizable or copolymerizable monomers which has been prepared in the presence of protective colloids or protective colloids and emulsifiers by emulsion, suspension or bead polymerization or copolymerization, initiated by free radicals in an aqueous medium and are in aqueous dispersion form or in finely dispersed dry powder form, which contain, as protective colloids, water-soluble graft polymers containing vinyl alcohol units on a polyurethane grafting base, the polyurethane grafting bases containing at least 2 urethane groups in the molecule prepared by reacting diisocyanates and optionally small amounts of monofunctional isocyanates, with diols and optionally half-esterified or half-etherified diol radicals, and grafted thereon polymer radicals or polymeric chains of units of carboxylic acid vinyl esters having 3 to 20 carbon atoms and hydrolysis products thereof and optionally units of at least one other ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable and optionally hydrolyzable monomers and hydrolysis products thereof, the amount of vinyl alcohol units in the water-soluble graft polymers being at least 20% by weight, based on the water-soluble graft polymer, and the degree of hydrolysis of the monomer units originally grafted onto the polyurethane grafting base being at least 50 mol %.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
A dispersion polymer as claimed in claim 1, which contains water-soluble graft polymers containing vinyl alcohol units on a polyurethane grafting base, in an amount of 0.01 to 20% by weight, based on the dispersion polymer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
A dispersion polymer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the polyurethane grafting bases contained in the water-soluble graft polymers containing vinyl alcohol units have molecular weights of between 200 and 50,000 g/mol.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
44 words
A dispersion polymer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the amount of polymer radicals grafted onto the polyurethane grafting bases in the water-soluble graft polymers containing vinyl alcohol units on a polyurethane grafting base is >10% by weight, based on the water-soluble graft polymer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
71 words
A dispersion polymer as claimed in claim 1, wherein, in the water-soluble graft polymers containing vinyl alcohol units on a polyurethane grafting base, the polyurethane grafting base contains, in the diol component, units of alkylene glycol or polyalkylene glycol having a molecular weight of between 400 and 10,000 g/mol, or mixtures of these units, or mixtures of these units with units from lower alkylene glycols having up to 6 carbon atoms.
