Abstract:
New homopolymers and copolymers and their solutions or dispersions having numerous applications are prepared by homopolymerization or copolymerization of olefinically unsaturated sulfitobetaines in bulk, suspension, solution or emulsion.
Abstract:
Solutions of solution copolymers of 60 to 90 percent of (meth) acrylic esters of alkanols containing from four to ten carbon atoms, 0.15 to 3 percent of olefinically unsaturated alkanediol monoesters and olefinically unsaturated alkoxymethylamides with or without up to 39 percent of other olefinically unsaturated monomers can be used for the production of contact adhesive layers having particularly advantageous properties.
Abstract:
WATER-SOLUBLE PARTIALLY SAPONIFIED COPOLYMERS BASED ON VINYL ACETATE AND METHYL ACRYLATE AND THEIR USE FOR DELAYING THE POLYMERIZATION OF STYRENE By emulsion polymerization of vinyl acetate, methylacrylate,acrylic acid, monoolefinically unsaturated sulfoalkyl esters or amides and vinyl sulfonate and partial saponification of the resultant copolymer emulsion, an aqueous solution of a copolymer is obtained which greatly delays the polymerization of styrene in aqueous media.
Abstract:
Paints and renders contain, as binders, aqueous dispersions of copolymers which have a minimum film-forming temperature of from -15 DEG to 20 DEG C. and consist of (a) from 10 to 50% by weight of vinylidene chloride, up to half of which may be replaced with vinyl chloride, (b) from 44 to 88% by weight of esters of acrylic and/or methacrylic acid with alkanols of 1 to 18 carbon atoms and, if required, styrene, vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate or a mixture of these monomers and (c) from 2 to 6% by weight of alpha , beta -monoolefinically unsaturated mono- and/or dicarboxylic acids of 3 to 5 carbon atoms and/or their amides.
Abstract:
A polymerizable mixture comprises (a) 50 to 80 parts by weight of an unsaturated resinous polyester, (b) 50 to 20 parts by weight of a copolymerizable monomer and (c) 5 to 50% by weight of (a)+(b) of a reaction product of (i) maleic, fumaric, itaconic, mesaconic or citraconic acid (or anhydride) with (ii) a hydroxyalkylation product of a tri- or higher polyhydric aliphatic alcohol in such proportions that there is about 1 mol. of (i) per mol. of free hydroxy groups in (ii). Reactants (ii) are obtained by reacting the polyhydric alcohols, e.g. glycerol, trimethylol propane, pentaerythritol or sorbitol, with epoxides, e.g. epoxyethane, epoxypropane, epoxybutane, epichlorhydrin or epoxyethylbenzene. Ingredient (a) is a conventional unsaturated polyester of an unsaturated polycarboxylic acid, optionally in admixture with a saturated acid, and a polyhydric alcohol. Ingredient (b) may be a monomer containing a vinyl, allyl or acryloyl group, e.g. styrene. Polymerization may be effected with free-radical catalysts, e.g. organic peroxides, preferably conjointly with p metal driers. Granular or fibrous fillers may be added, e.g. glass fibre threads or fabrics, and also pigments and dyes. The compositions may be used for lacquer or film coatings, impregnation and producing shaped articles. In examples ingredient (a) is a mixture of polyesters derived from maleic, phthalic and adipic acids and triethylene glycol and from maleic and phthalic acids and propylene and ethylene glycols; (b) is styrene; (c) is the reaction product of (i) maleic anhydride and (ii) the hydroxyalkylation product of glycerol or sorbitol and ethylene oxide; and the catalyst system is methyl ethyl ketone/cobalt naphthenate.
