Abstract: The present invention provides aqueous amphiphilic emulsion copolymer compositions comprising one or more aqueous phase copolymer, a residue of one or more hydrophilic chain transfer agent, and a residue of one or more hydrophobic chain transfer agent, as well as methods of making such copolymers in water or an aqueous liquid by copolymerizing a monomer component of from 20 to 80 wt. %, based on the weight of the monomer component, of a hydrophilic group-containing monomer and the remainder of a copolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomer or prepolymer in the presence of a mixed chain transfer agent component comprising a hydrophilic chain transfer agent, such as 3-mercaptopropionic acid, and a hydrophobic chain transfer agent, such as N-dodecyl mercaptan. The aqueous amphiphilic emulsion copolymers of the present invention are storage stable and exhibit excellent viscosity control even in high solids compositions, e.g. from 50 to 80 wt. % of the composition.

Abstract: The present invention provides aqueous matte coating compositions comprising a binder component B) and a polymeric duller component A) composed of particles of one or more multi-stage copolymer or single stage crosslinked (co)polymer, e.g. crosslinked t-butyl (meth)acrylate, the duller component particles A) having an average diameter of 1-20 ?m. Components A) and B) are compatible. Preferably, the duller component A) is acrylic; more preferably, components A) and B) are acrylic. The aqueous compositions provide matte coatings having haptic or feel (soft touch) properties, film and appearance properties, including burnish resistance and low color loss.
