摘要 |
The invention relates to copolymer dispersions, comprising: a copolymer of (a) a vinyl ester of an alkanoic acid having from 1 to 13 carbon atoms; (b) ethylene; (c) from 0.5 to 5 pphm of a first cross-linking co-monomer comprising an ethylenically unsaturated monomer comprising an epoxy group; and (d) from 0.55 to 2 pphm of a second functional co-monomer comprising an ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid, mono- or di-ester thereof, or anhydride thereof, wherein the copolymer is dispersed in an aqueous medium comprising a stabilizer. The dispersions advantageously provide surprisingly good adhesion characteristics to paper substrates. |
