Abstract: A paper product comprising a planar fibrous cellulose substrate, and a coating composition disposed on a surface of said substrate comprising an interpolymer prepared by the emulsion polymerization of (i) one or more vinyl ester monomers; (ii) ethylene; (iii) an unsaturated silane co-monomer; and (iv) one or more emulsion-stabilizing ionic co-monomers comprising one or more of unsaturated, substituted sulfonic acid, one or more of an unsaturated phosphonic acid, or an ester of one of those acids, in the presence of (v) a stabilizing system which comprises one or more anionic and/or nonionic surfactants but less than about 1 pphm of any protective colloid material; and (v) water.

Abstract: Aqueous copolymer dispersions for a variety of uses, including coating compositions or binders for plasters and paints, are disclosed. The aqueous copolymer dispersions may comprise one or more silicon containing compounds, in particular hydrolyzable silane compounds without any additional reactive group.

Abstract: Reinforcing fiber for use in thermoplastic or thermosetting matrix resin are sized with one or more copolymer composition(s) obtainable by reacting: a) 5-90 pphwm of at least one alkyl methacrylate having a Tg of more than 40° C.; and b) 5-50 pphwm of at least one alkyl acrylate having a Tg of less than 0° C.; and c) 0.1-20 pphwm of at least one C3-C6 unsaturated carboxylic acid; and d) at least one further comonomer selected from the group comprising: (i) 5-50 pphwm of at least one vinyl ester of neoalkanoic acid, and (ii) 10-60 pphwm of at least one vinyl ester of ?-monosubstituted fatty acids, and (iii) 5-50 pphwm of vinyl esters of an aromatic carboxylic acid, and (iv) other comonomers.

Abstract: A binder composition for mineral fiber mats or the like, where the binder composition includes a carboxylated emulsion resin and a polyfunctional aziridine crosslinking agent. The binder composition is formaldehyde free, exhibits good crosslinking density, and enables the economical production of strong, flexible fiberglass mats which may be used as thermal and acoustic insulation.

Abstract: A binder composition for glass fiber mats or the like, where the binder composition includes a carboxylated emulsion resin and a polyfunctional aziridine crosslinking agent. The binder composition is formaldehyde free, exhibits good crosslinking density, and enables the economical production of strong, flexible fiberglass mats which may be used as thermal and acoustic insulation.
