Abstract: The invention relates to microcapsules, the capsule walls of which comprise a resin that can be obtained by reacting a) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a1) amines and a2) aromatic or heteroaromatic compounds which are unsubstituted or substituted with one or more substituents from the group consisting of C1-C20-alkyl, OH, OR, COOH, SH, SR, NHCOR, OCOR, halogen, or an aromatic compound, where R is a C1-C10-alkyl group, with b) at least one aldehydic component that contains at least two carbons atoms per molecule, in the presence of c) at least one copolymer which contains units of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulphonic acid or salts (AMPS) thereof and/or 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane phosphonic acid or salts (AMPP) thereof and units of one or more (meth)acrylates.

Abstract: The invention refers to microcapsules whose capsule wall comprise resin, and which results through reaction of at least one aromatic alcohol or its ether or derivative and at least one aldehyde component, which includes at least two C-atoms per molecule.

Abstract: The present invention refers to an adhesive composition in the form of watery dispersion with a polymer as the dispersoid, an ethylene unsaturated monomer and a first dispersing agent from a modified polyvinyl alcohol and at least a vinyl alcohol polymer as a further dispersing agent. The adhesive composition according to the invention has the advantage that it possesses good adhesion and flow properties and a surprisingly high water stability under an almost neutral pH value, wherein the disadvantages of an acidic adhesive composition, such as e.g. the discoloration of certain wood types, corrosion promoting properties and the premature crosslinking in the batch are avoided.
