BINDERS FOR NONWOVENS

摘要

Nonwoven fabrics characterized by a superior balance of strength and softness are formed utilizing an aqueous emulsion prepared by the emulsion polymerization of: 30 to 50% by weight of vinyl ester of an alkanoic acid; 10 to 30% by weight ethylene; 30 to 50% by weight of C4-C8 alkyl acrylate; and 1 to 5% by weight of copolymerizable N-methylol containing monomer; wherein the polymerization is performed using batch or semi-batch techniques.
