Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous emulsion paint comprising a) 5% to 50% by weight of an aqueous polymer dispersion having a solids content in the range from 40% to 60% by weight, obtainable by the free-radical aqueous emulsion polymerization of a monomer mixture comprising ethylhexyl acrylate, butyl acrylate and one or more vinylaromatics, preferably styrene, b) 0.1% to 5% by weight of alkali metal alkylsiliconate and/or water-soluble silicate, c) 20% to 70% by weight of inorganic fillers, d) 0% to 30% by weight of at least one pigment, e) 0.1% to 10% by weight of customary auxiliaries, and f) water, based in each case on the total amount of the emulsion paint, the pH of the emulsion paint having a value in the range from 10 to 12, and also relates to the aqueous polymer dispersions, to a process for the preparation thereof and to the use thereof as organic binders in emulsion paints having a high pH.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of coating compositions for coating fiber cement boards, which contain at least one acrylate based aqueous polymer dispersions as a binder. The present invention further relates to specific acrylate based aqueous polymer dispersions and to a process for preparing these specific acrylate based aqueous polymer dispersions.

Abstract: The present invention provides the use of aqueous polymer dispersions comprising (a) at least two monomers M1 having a glass transition temperature ?25° C., (b) at least two monomers M2 having a glass transition temperature <25° C., and also further monomers M3, as binders in coating materials for improving the shade stability (color retention).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing a polymer latex that includes polymerizing one or more ethylenically unsaturated aromatic monomers and one or more conjugated diene monomers in the presence of a hydroperoxide chain transfer agent and sulfur-containing chain transfer agent, wherein the sulfur-containing chain transfer agent is added after the hydroperoxide chain transfer agent. It further relates to the polymer latex thus obtained, to a composition comprising the polymer latex and to the use of the polymer latex or polymer latex composition in a carpet backing, paper coating, or fiber fabric pre-impregnation process.
