Textile coatings based on eva-maleate copolymers

摘要

Woven pile fabrics, particularly upholstery fabrics and corduroy, characterized by a superior balance of strength and softness are back-coated utilizing an aqueous emulsion prepared by the emulsion polymerization of a vinyl ester of an alkanoic acid interpolymerized with 10 to 30% by weight ethylene; 15 to 40% by weight of a C4-C10 dialkyl maleate; to 5% by weight of copolymerizable N-methylol containing monomer; 0 to 4% by weight of an olefinically unsaturated carboxylic acid and 0 to 1% by weight of a polyethylenically unsaturated comonomer.
