Abstract: A binder for textile structures which are graft copolymer latices in which the following are incroporated in the graft copolymer:(1) as graft substrate, from 40 to 70% by weight, of a polyorganosiloxane end blocked with hydroxyl groups as indicated in the following general formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 denotes alkyl groups having 1 to 24 carbon atoms or aryl groups having 6 to 10 carbon atoms,R.sup.2 denotes divalent alkylene groups having 1 to 8 carbon atoms,R.sup.3 denotes alkyl groups having 1 to 24 carbon atoms, aryl groups, alkoxy groups having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a hydroxyl group,R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 together with the silicon atom may form a 5 membered or 6 membered ring containing a trivalent unbranched or branched alkyl group having to 8 carbon atoms, anda stands for 80 to 99 mol %,b stands for 1 to 20 mol %, anda+b=100 mol %and the viscosity of the polymer determined at 25.degree. C. is from 100 to 100,000 mPa.s,(2) as grafted vinyl polymer, from 30 to 60% by weight, of styrene and/or .alpha.

Abstract: This invention relates to the production and use of coating powders based on saponified ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymers (EVA copolymers) modified with polyalkyl (meth) acrylates. Coatings and films produced from these coating powders are distinguished by the flexibility and elasticity thereof, especially at low temperatures.

Abstract: Pulverulent coating materials consisting of saponified ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers and, as cross-linking agents, polycarbodiimides and/or polyuretone imines.

Abstract: A process for the production of partially or completely hydrolyzed ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer which is suitable for the various powder coating techniques, wherein the polymer solution is extruded in a non-gelled state into water with a temperature no more than 20.degree. C below the gellation temperature and the gelling solution is converted into particles from 0.02 to 5 mm in diameter by means of high shear forces.
