Publication number: 20120052316Abstract: Described is an aqueous polymer dispersion comprising a chain growth addition polymer obtainable by free-radically initiated emulsion polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated, free-radically polymerizable monomers, wherein the polymerization of the monomers is effected in the presence of a certain molecular weight regulator composition. The molecular weight regulator composition comprises at least one mercaptoalkylcarboxylic ester of a C2- to C4-carboxylic acid and at least one oligomeric compound of the formula R1—X-(A-S—)n-A-Y—R2, where R1 and R2 are each H or CH3—(CH2)0-2—C(?O)—, X and Y are each an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom, A is a divalent C1- to C18-alkylene group and n is from 1 to 8. Also described is a process for preparing the aqueous polymer dispersion. The polymer dispersion is useful as a binder, an adhesive, a sizing agent for fibers, in the manufacture of coatings or in the manufacture of paper coating slips.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2011Publication date: March 1, 2012Applicant: BASF SEInventors: Elitsa Evstatieva, Dirk Lawrenz, Johannes Jan-Bessel Minderhoud, Florian Garlichs, Peter Bassler, Jens Baldamus
