Method for providing gloss control of latex films and compositions for use therein

摘要

A method for providing gloss control in a dried film from an aqueous coating and compositions useful for gloss control is provided. A specified level of gloss is affected by the addition of hard latex polymer particles to soft film-forming polymer latex particles. By adjusting the hard particle parameters of amount and relative particle size, the desired film gloss can be achieved while allowing for the optimization of other performance characteristics.
