The use of polymers as coatings on substrates

摘要

A method of coating substrates is disclosed. The method utilizes a polymer containing a hydrophobic monomer to provide coatings with good adhesion to hydrophobic, cement based, and metal based substrates. The polymer comprises as polymerized units: a) from 1 to 100 parts by weight of at least one C12 to C40alkyl ester of (meth)acrylic acid, b) from 0 to 99 parts by weight of at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer, and c) from 0 to 15 parts by weight of at least one ethylenically unsaturated acid containing monomer or salts thereof.
