Aqueous dispersions of polymers which have a high glass transition temperature and a low average molecular weight and contain a specific amount of methacrylic acid as polymerized units are suitable, in liquid or dried form, as additives for improving the flow behavior of cement-containing mineral building materials having binding properties.

Aqueous polymer dispersions

The invention relates to an aqueous polymer dispersion which may optionally contain mineral additives and/or pigments and which essentially consists of a mixture of

Aqueous polymer dispersions containing organic compounds having

Precast concrete which is coated with a copolymer A with a glass transition temperature of rom -25.degree. to +30.degree. C. and composed of

Polymer-coated precast concrete

Shaped articles are produced from a finely particulate material as aggregate and an aqueous binder preparation containing an acrylate polymer by moistening the aggregate with the binder preparation, making it into the desired shape and then drying it, using a binder preparation whose binder is an acrylate polymer whose glass transition range is relatively high and which is formed from (A) a predominant amount of methyl methacrylate, (B) a minor amount of (meth) acrylic acid, (C) a minor amount of an optional alkyl acrylate and (D) a small optional amount of another specific polymerizable compound.

Method of preparing shaped articles from a mineral aggregate and a

A shaped article is obtainable by impregnating or coating a preform composed in the main of mineral fibers, nonfibrous mineral fillers and starch with a composition which contains a binder comprising a copolymer composed of

A concrete roof tile is coated with an unfilled or aggregate- and/or pigment-filled film of a copolymer containing (a) from 0.03 to 2% by weight of tin in the form of a polymerizable organotin compound (b) from 0.5 to 5% by weight of (meth)acrylic acid, (meth)acrylamide and/or vinylsulfonic acid and (c) from 0.1 to 5% by weight of carbonyl-containing monomers crosslinked with certain dicarboxodihydrazides, besides (d) at least two (meth)acrylic esters of C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkanols and/or styrene as copolymerized units in such an amount and such mixing ratios that the copolymer has a glass transition temperature of -15 to +10.degree. C. prior to crosslinking.

Efflorescence phenomena on mineral substrates are prevented by coating the surface of the mineral substrates with aqueous polyacrylate dispersions and drying the coating, if necessary at elevated temperatures, by a process in which a mixture of

Prevention of efflorescence phenomena on mineral substrates

Light-weight building boards which are based on mineral fibers and thermoplastic binders, may furthermore contain fillers, fireproofing agents and water repellents, contain, as the binder, from 4 to 20%, based on the weight of the mineral fibers, of polymers having a glass transition temperature of from 60.degree. to 110.degree. C., and consisting of not less than 60% by weight, based on the copolymer, of (meth)acrylates of alcohols of 1 to 4 carbon atoms and not more than 40% by weight of (meth)acrylonitrile and/or styrene, and additionally contain salts of polyvalent metals with carboxylic acids of 12 to 36 carbon atoms are distinguished by low water absorption and excellent sound-insulating characteristics, are flame-retardant and exhibit dimensional stability even in the tropics.

Light-weight building boards based on mineral fibers and thermoplastic

Sound-insulating boards which are based on mineral fibers and thermoplastic binders and may or may not additionally contain fillers, flameproofing agents and water repellants contain, as the binder, from 4 to 20%, based on the weight of the mineral fibers, of polymers having a glass transition temperature of from 30.degree. to 80.degree. C. and consisting of not less than 60% by weight, based on the copolymer, of (meth)acrylates of 1 to 4 carbon atoms and as much as 40% by weight of acrylonitrile and/or styrene.
