Abstract: Plasters and renders and paints, copolymer dispersions and their use Compositions containing selected polymer dispersions, colloidal silica, fillers and pigments are described. These can be formulated to give plasters and renders or paints which are distinguished by excellent abrasion resistance, little tendency to soiling, high water vapor permeability, good adhesion and good weathering stability. The compositions according to the invention can be processed to give plasters and renders or paints which have a nanostructured surface and which differ from conventionally produced surfaces.

Abstract: What are described are coating compositions comprising pigments and/or fillers and multistage polyvinyl ester dispersions as binders. These binders are produced by a selected multistage process in which a polyvinyl ester dispersion is obtained in a first stage, monomers in dissolved or pure form or in the form of an emulsion are added to the reaction mixture in a second stage and then the polymerization is started again. The polyvinyl ester dispersions comprise polymerized silanes and/or epoxides or the polyvinyl ester dispersions have only a small content of protective colloids, if any. The coating compositions formulated with the multistage polyvinyl ester dispersions obtained in this way are notable for a very high weathering resistance.

Abstract: A description is given of a concrete molding which is coated with cement-bound mineral coating composition (cement slurry) and with a transparent varnish, the transparent varnish comprising as binder an aqueous polymer dispersion and also at least one anionic emulsifier containing at least one phosphate and/or phosphonate group. The concrete molding is distinguished by high gloss and can be used in particular as rooftile.

Abstract: Polymer dispersions, processes for the preparation thereof and the use thereof Polymer dispersions containing at least two copolymers A and B in a weight ratio of from 5:95 to 95:5 are described, the glass transition temperatures Tg of the copolymers A and B differing by at least 10° C., and at least one nonionic emulsifier from the group consisting of the aryl-substituted phenolalkyleneoxy ethers. From these polymer dispersions, it is possible to formulate, for example, coatings, glazes and paints for coating substrates of all types. The polymer dispersions are distinguished by a very good shear stability and can be applied in particular by spray application.

Abstract: The present invention is generally related to a method to reduce the cost of filing a repetitive or a jumbo patent application.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing coated mineral shaped bodies by applying an aqueous coating agent containing a polymer dispersion serving as a bonding agent and at least one aqueous styrene maleic anhydride copolymer solution. The shaped body is subsequently hardened and the coating agent is dried. The invention is characterized in that the at least one aqueous styrene maleic anhydride copolymer solution is added to the polymer dispersion after completion of the polymerization. The shaped bodies coated in such a manner exhibit an improved efflorescence behavior. The method is particularly suited for coating roofing tiles and fibrated concrete slabs.

Abstract: The present invention provides copolymer-based compositions which are used to produce point for roof tiles, in order to prevent algal vegetation, crack formation, increased water absorption, as well as chipping off of the paint, more particularly on concrete roof tiles.

Abstract: A polymer dispersion having a minimum film-forming temperature in the range from 0 to 40.degree. C., which is useful in coating compositions for substrates, in the form of varnishes or gloss paints, is obtained by stepwise emulsion polymerization, which includes polymerizing, onto a first stage having the monomer composition I comprising: from 50 to 68.5% by weight of soft monomers A whose homopolymers have a glass transition temperature (T.sub.g) below 0.degree. C.; from 30 to 50% by weight of hard monomers B whose homopolymers have a glass transition temperature (T.sub.g) above 65.degree. C.; from 0.5 to 5% by weight of .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated carboxylic acids and/or carboxamides C which are copolymerizable with A and B; from 1 to 7.

Abstract: Autocrosslinking aqueous dispersions characterized by an MFT of from 0.degree. to about 50.degree. C. include at least one carbonyl-containing soft latex polymer having an MFT of below about 20.degree. C., at least one hard latex polymer having an MFT of above about 25.degree. C., and at least one polyfunctional carboxylic hydrazide. The aqueous polymer dispersions are used as binders for non-blocking, scratch-resistant and chemical-resistant coatings and as binders for clear coat and pigmented coating systems.
