Abstract: The present invention relates to preparation of heterogeneous mixtures of (carboxylated) vinyl ester/ethylene dispersions, such as vinyl acetate/ethylene (VAE) dispersions with polyamideamine-epichlorohydrin (PAE) wet strength resins having a reduced amount of halogenated organic compounds, such as less than 1500 ppm. The dispersion offers extremely low free and bound formaldehyde levels combined with wet tensile strength for use in non-woven textile and paper applications.

Abstract: A polymer composition is typically obtainable by reacting: a) 40-90 pphwm of vinyl acetate; b) 30-5 pphwm of cycloalkyl esters of a butenedioic acid; and optionally c) 30-5 pphwm of vinyl esters of ?-monosubstituted fatty acids; and/or d) 20-5 pphwm of an ?-olefin monomer; and/or e) 20-0.1 pphwm of a functional monomer unit such as as self-crosslinking monomer.

Abstract: A polymer composition suitable as a binder resin for fibrous substrates such as woven or nonwoven products including textiles, apparel in general, papers, scrim, engineered fabrics, glass or other mineral fibers, roofing or flooring materials is disclosed. The binder resin comprises a copolymer obtainable by reacting: (i) 5-95 pphwm of vinyl acetate; (ii) 95-5 pphwm of at least one vinyl ester of ?-monosubstituted fatty acids; and (iii) 10-0.1 pphwm of at least one functional monomer, such as self-crosslinking monomer, and optionally other comonomers.

Abstract: An emulsion interpolymer polymer composition suitable as a binder resin for fibrous substrates such as woven or nonwoven products including textiles, apparel in general, papers, scrim, engineered fabrics, glass or other mineral fibers, roofing or flooring materials, comprises a copolymer obtainable by reacting: a) 3-97 pphwm of vinyl acetate; b) 97-3 pphwm of at least one vinyl ester of an aromatic carboxylic acid; and c) 10-0.1 pphwm of at least one functional monomer and optionally further comonomers.

Abstract: A polymer composition comprising a copolymer obtainable by reacting 1-99 pphwm, preferably 10-90 pphwm of vinyl acetate; 40-8 pphwm of at least one vinyl ester of neoalkanoic acid and at least one additional component selected from the group comprising: (i) 40-1 pphwm of at least one ?-olefin; (ii) 10-0.1 pphwm of at least one functional monomer; (iii) 40-1 pphwm of at least one ester of ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acids. The compositions are especially useful in or as binders for fibrous substrates, such as woven or nonwoven products including textiles, apparel in general, papers, scrim, engineered fabrics, glass or other mineral fibers, roofing or flooring materials.
