Abstract: Copolymers which are obtainable by reacting acrylic monomers with monomers of the following formula:R.sub.4 --O--R.sub.5 --CO--NH--R.sub.6wherein R.sub.4 represents H or a group of the following formulae: ##STR1## R.sub.5 represents an oxyalkenyl group of the following formulae:--(CHR.sub.1 --CH.sub.2 --O).sub.m -- or --(CHR.sub.1 --CH.sub.2 --O).sub.m1 --(CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --O).sub.n --R.sub.6 represents a C.sub.1 - to C.sub.8 -alkyl group, a C.sub.5 - to C.sub.7 -cycloalkyl group, or a phenyl group. The copolymers are very useful as additives or admixtures for improving the properties of construction materials and of dispersions.

Abstract: Binding compositions for the manufacture of lignocellulosic composites comprising an aqueous emulsion of polyisocyanates and a release agent obtained by reacting a polyisocyanate with an oxyalkylic hemiester of a C.sub.9 -C.sub.18, saturated or unsaturated, monocarboxylic fatty acid.

Abstract: Binding compositions for lignocellulosic composites comprising an aqueous emulsion containing at least one polyisocyanate and at least one water-dispersed acetovinyl resin having a glass transition temperature (Tg) lower than 5.degree. C. These compositions impart green tack cohesion to the resinate lignocellulosic material.

Abstract: Process for binding cellulosic materials with a binding agent composed of aqueous emulsion of polyisocyanates and a cellulose ether. The cellulose wither is present in amounts of 0.1-10% b.w.

Abstract: Aqueous emulsions of polyisocyanates comprising at least one cellulose derivative dissolved in water, and at least one polyisocyanate having a low, medium and/or high molecular weight.

Abstract: Rubbery polymer latexes are agglomerated by mixing them with another latex containing:(1) a polymer, different from that present in the latex to be agglomerated and less lipophilic than the latter, selected from (a) homopolymers of alkyl acrylates and methacrylates in which the alkyl has from 1 to 12 carbon atoms, and (b) copolymers of ethylenically unsaturated monomers capable of forming water-insoluble homopolymers, and(2) a non-ionic surfactant consisting of an addition product of ethylene oxide.The agglomerating latex is added in quantities corresponding to 0.1-20 parts by weight of solid polymer and to 0.0001-0.2 parts by weight of surfactant per 100 parts by weight of the rubbery polymer present in the latex to be agglomerated.A particular use of the agglomerated rubbery polymer latexes is in the production of ABS resins.

Abstract: Vulcanizable elastomers consisting of copolymers of acrylic esters are prepared by copolymerizing an alkyl acrylate with minor amounts of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer containing halogen, an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having an epoxy group, an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid and, optionally, a polyene containing at least two non-conjugated double bonds. The new acrylic elastomers obtained have a high vulcanization rate and are useful in the manufacture of various shaped articles by processes involving a fast vulcanization cycle.
