Use of aqueous polymer dispersions for modifying mineral coatings for concrete roof tiles

摘要

The use of an aqueous polymer dispersion for modifying cement bonded mineral coatings for concrete mold bodies. The polymer comprises: (A) a polymer P in the form of ethylenic unsaturated polymer particles with a glass transition temperature of -20 - + 80 C; and (B) an emulsifier for stabilizing the polymer particles. (A) comprises: (i) 90 - 99.9 wt. % hydrophobic, monoethylenic unsaturated monomer(s) (M1) from styrene, butadiene, 1 - 4 C alkylester of methacrylic acid and 2 - 12 C alkylester of acrylic acid; and (ii) 0.1 - 10 wt. % hydrophilic, monoethylenic unsaturated monomer (M2) comprising up to 2 wt. %, based on the total amount of monomer of a monoethylenic unsaturated monomer(s) containing an acid group (M2a) and/or up to 10 weight. % thereof different hydrophilic monomer (M2b). (B) comprises: (a) the salt of a sulfuric acid half ester of an alkoxylated alcohol, containing a 4 - 20 C alkyl chain(s) (salt a); and (b) an alkoxylated alcohol containing a 4 - 20 C alkyl chain(s) (compound b). An independent claim is also included for the preparation of a mineral coated concrete roofing slabs, comprising: (i) conventional manufacture of the uncoated roofing slabs blank; (ii) application to the damp blank of a cement bonded mineral mixture comprising the novel aqueous polymer dispersion, inorganic pigment dye, conventional additives, cement and water; and (iii) removal of the roofing product.
