Redispersible synthetic resin powder and use thereof

摘要

A redispersible synthetic resin powder comprising particles of a polymer made from at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of ethylenically unsaturated monomers and diene monomers, and a polyvinyl alcohol resin having at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of acetoacetoxy group and mercapto group and having a block character Ä eta Ü of 0.3 to 0.6, wherein said polyvinyl alcohol resin is adsorbed onto the surface of said particles. The powder has excellent redispersibility, blocking resistance, film forming property and water resistance, can be easily dispersed into water to form emulsions and is also useful as an admixture for cement and mortar.
