Acrylate binders consist of (a) 38 to 98% by weight of a C.sub.2 -C.sub.8 -alkyl acrylate, (b) 1 to 6% by weight of (meth)acrylic acid, (c) 0 to 30% by weight of acrylonitrile, (d) 0 to 60% by weight of methyl methacrylate and (e) 0 to 10% by weight of one or more other comonomers containing no acid, basic or crosslinking groups and are obtainable by copolymerization of the monomers in the presence of 0.02 to 0.5% by weight of an organic peroxo compound and 1.0 to 5.0% by weight of an anionic emulsifier, the percentage data relating to the sum of (a) to (e), are particularly suitable for dressing leather.

Acrylate binder and its use for dressing leather

Articles having improved resistance to water can be obtained from fibre materials by using carboxylated rubber latices having particle diameters of less than 200 nm which have been produced by one-step polymerization at pH-values below 7 in the presence of mono-nuclear alkylaryl sulfonates and oil-soluble initiators.

Process for the treatment of fibre materials

Synthetic rubber dispersions containing carboxyl groups, free from specks and with little tendency to foaming, with advantages for their technical application contain a copolymer of 0.3 to 1.0 parts by weight of itaconic acid and 99.0 to 99.7 parts by weight of a mixture of 10 to 90 parts by weight of one or more acyclic conjugated dienes having 4 to 9 carbon atoms and 10 to 90 parts by weight of one or more aryl vinyl monomers having 8 to 12 carbon atoms and/or (meth)acrylonitrile, in which the quantity of (meth)acrylonitrile is at most 50 parts by weight and wherein up to 25 parts by weight of the non-dissociating monomers may optionally be replaced by one or more other non-dissociating copolymerizable monomers, which dispersions are stabilized with 0.05 to 0.5% by weight, based on the copolymer, of an anionic emulsifier.

Aqueous polymer dispersions for the treatment of leather

Advantages in the dressing of leather, especially of split leather, with a synthetic rubber latex are obtained if in the leather dressing, the rubber latex is reacted with from 0.5 to 50% by weight, based on solid rubber, of one or more oxides and/or hydroxides of one or more bivalent metals and the leather is treated with a non-polymerized rubber latex which is produced in a one-stage process up to a monomer conversion of from 70 to 95% by weight, by emulsion polymerization of:

Process for dressing leather by a treatment using rubber latices

A process for the production of an emulsifier-free self-crosslinkable rubber latex (meth)acrylic acid, N-alkoxymethyl (meth)acrylamide and acyclic conjugated dienes arylvinyl monomers and/or (meth)acrylonitrile, wherein an aqueous emulsion is prepared by adding at least part of the (meth)acrylic acid, part of the diene and further monomers to water, the polymerization reaction is initiated by the addition of an aqueous solution of a peroxodisulphate and is carried out in a first stage at a pH-value of from 3.5 to 7 until at least 50% of the monomers have been polymerized, the rest of the monomers and initiator are added in one or more further stages and the polymerization reaction is continued at a pH-value of from 3.5 to 7 until at least 50% of the monomers and, in the last stage, until from 85 to 100% of the monomers have been polymerized.

Process for the production of emulsifier-free, self-crosslinkable rubber

An aqueous dispersion of copolymers are used as binders for the production of optionally dry-cleanable nonwoven materials. The copolymers consist of copolymerized units of 1 - 2.5% by weight of N-methylol(meth)acrylamide, 1 - 2.5% by weight of (meth)acrylamide, 0.5 - 3% by weight of .alpha.,.beta.-monoolefinically unsaturated di- or tricarboxylic acids with 4 to 6 carbon atoms and 89.5 - 97.5% by weight of (meth)-acrylic acid esters having 1 - 18 carbon atoms in the alcohol component.
