| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a process for preparing an aqueous dispersion of a vinyl acetate polymer comprising the step of polymerizing vinyl acetate under emulsion polymerization conditions in the presence of a chain transfer agent which is a hypophosphite salt or X-R 1 -SH, where R 1 is a C 1 -C 4 alkyl group and X is sulfonate, hydroxyl, sulfate, phosphate, phosphonate, carboxylic acid or a salt thereof, or C 1 -C 3 -alkyl carboxylate. The process provides a way of lowering the viscosity of the vinyl acetate polymer at a given solids content. |
