Abstract:
A laundry detergency boosting polymer blend additive is made up of: a) a graft copolymer of polyalkylene oxide with vinyl ester, the graft copolymer having a molecular weight within the range of about 5,000 to 50,000; and b) at least one polycarboxylate selected from the group consisting of acrylic/maleic acid copolymers having a molecular weight within the range of about 1,000 to 100,000, and polyacrylic acid having a molecular weight of from about 1,000 to 100,000. The polymer blend additive is effective in water with an ion hardness in the range of about 50 to 500 ppm. The detergency boosting performance of the polymer blend additive is maintained or increased as the concentration of the hardness ions in water is increased.
Abstract:
An improved emulsion polymerization process utilizing at least one substantially water-insoluble ethylenically unsaturated monomer is provided for forming discrete solid polymeric particles suitable for use in coating and/or adhesive applications. During at least the initial portion of the polymerization a dissolved water-soluble polymerizable surfactant (as defined) formed by the reaction of a diallylamine, ethylene oxide, and propylene oxide and/or butylene oxide additionally is provided in the reaction zone in the continuous aqueous phase. The water-soluble polymerizable surfactant undergoes copolymerization and is substantially completely consumed during the course of the emulsion polymerization. The emulsion polymerization is carried out on a stable basis, there is no need to attempt to remove a surfactant at the conclusion of the emulsion polymerization, and the resulting polymeric particles are particularly well suited for coating and/or adhesive end uses where they form stable films and exhibit improved adhesion characteristics.
