Low vac aqueous coating composition

摘要

An aqueous coating composition having low VOC is provided. The invention provides excellent hardness and resistance properties in films formed from binders having glass transition temperatures below ambient temperature. The improvement in film properties comes from the binding of functionalized polyvinyl alcohol to a complementary functionalized latex binder. The low VOC compositions of this invention are useful for a variety of coatings including paints, stains, varnishes, mastics and adhesives.
