Abstract: The invention relates to the use of mixtures that contain an aqueous dispersion of a vinyl acetate polymer and an aqueous dispersion of a vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer for carpet coating compositions, and corresponding carpet coating compositions, as well as carpets which are coated with such carpet coating compositions.

Abstract: The invention relates to an aqueous vinyl acetate-ethylene-copolymer dispersion for carpet coating compositions, which is obtained by means of radical-initiated emulsion polymerization, in an aqueous medium, of vinyl acetate and ethylene and optionally additional ethylenically unsaturated comonomers, characterized in that, for stabilization of the dispersion, 5 to 10 wt %, based on the total weight of the comonomers, of one or a plurality of partially saponified and low-molecular polyvinyl alcohols having a hydrolysis degree of 80 to 95 mol % and a Höppler viscosity, in 4% aqueous solution, of 1 to 5 mPas (method according to Höppler at 20° C., DIN 53015) are contained.

Abstract: Mixtures for producing biodegradable molded bodies are based on one or more aliphatic polyesters, wherein the mixtures also include one or more polymer powders that can be re-dispersed in water.

Abstract: In a first aspect, the invention thus pertains to thermoplastic processable compositions (base compositions) comprising one or more flours, one or more polymers, optionally plasticizers, optionally fillers and optionally additives, characterized in that at least one of the polymers is present in the form of its water-redispersible polymer powder or as aqueous polymer dispersion, whereby the compositions contain less than 12% by weight of polyvinyl alcohol, based on the total amount of polymeric components of the composition.
