PURPOSE: Amphiphilic graft polymers based on graft bases containing n-vinylcarboxylic acid units, process for their preparation and their use are provided. CONSTITUTION: Amphiphilic graft polymers in which the graft base is a polymer containing at least 5 wt % of units of formula (I) and optionally units of formula (II), R1, R2 being H or C1-C6 alkyl, wherein (a)styrene, C1-C2 alkylstyrene and/or vinyltoluene and optionally (b) other monoethylenically unsaturated monomers which can be copolymerized therewith are grafted onto the graft base in a weight ratio of between 1: 99 and 99: 1, and wherein the group (c) is optionally partially or completely cleaved off the graft polymers, forming amino groups. Provided are also processes for preparing and using the amphiphilic graft polymers as consolidating agents for paper, as fixing agents for disruptive water-soluble and water-insoluble agents in paper manufacture, as dispersants for inorganic and organic pigments, dyes, concrete and plant-protecting agents, as detergent additives, as coating material for fertilizers and plant-protecting agents, as floor-maintenance agents, as protective colloids for aqueous polymer dispersions, as thickeners for cosmetic formulations, as conditioners for skin-care agents and as a component of hair-cosmetic preparations and cosmetic preparations for oral hygiene. |
