AQUEOUS COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING ESTERS OF LACTIC ACID AND METHODS OF USE

摘要

Aqueous polymer compositions comprising a film-forming polymer and a lactate ester are provided. These compositions provide exceptional performance properties, while at the same time being relatively environmentally friendly. These compositions are used as coating compositions and as binders or matrix formation compositions for the formation or articles comprising the film-forming polymer. Methods of use of such compositions, and coating methods wherein the lactate ester is applied separately to the substrate are also provided.
