Ethylene vinyl acetate compositions for paper saturation

摘要

Saturated paper products characterized by an excellent balance of toughness, strength, fold, tear and delamination resistance comprising a sheet of loosely bonded cellulose fibers saturated with an aqueous emulsion prepared by the emulsion polymerization of: (a) a vinyl ester of an alkanoic acid interpolymerized with: (b) 5 to 30% by weight of ethylene; (c) 0.5 to 6% by weight of an N-methylol containing copolymerizable monomer; (d) 1 to 5% by weight of an olefinically unsaturated carboxylic acid; (e) 0.2 to 3% by weight of a latex stabilizer; and (f) 0 to 1% by weight of at least one polyunsaturated copolymerizable monomer.
