Aqueous dispersions of carboxyl-containing polyvinyl acetals which contain no emulsifiers, no readily volatile organic solvents and no nonvolatile plasticizers, preparable by a) reacting hydroxyl-containing polyvinyl acetals with polycarboxylic anhydrides in the melt or in high-boiling solvents, b) neutralizing at least some of the carboxylic acid groups present in the resulting modified polyvinyl acetals, and c) dispersing the resulting salt of the modified polyvinyl acetals in water, are suitable as coating compositions for paper and textiles and as binders for paints and varnishes.

Aqueous polyvinyl acetal dispersions

Preparation of plasticizer-containing polyvinylbutyrals (PVB) which are suitable for the production of elastic interleaving films with improved adhesion-reducing properties for laminated glass panes of siliceous glass. They comprise, as adhesion-reducing additives, active amounts of salts of metals of groups Ia, IIa, IIb and IIIa of the periodic table of the elements and naturally occurring resin acids or derivatives of resin acids, and, if appropriate, customary stabilizers and auxiliaries. They are prepared by mixing the components and plasticizing the component mixtures. They can be shaped thermo-plastically by customary methods and are suitable for the production of plasticized PVB films which have advantageously improved adhesion-reducing properties with respect to siliceous glass panes and can advantageously be used for the production of siliceous laminated glass panes.

Process for the manufacture of hardenable copolymers by the polymerization of unsaturated esters with unsaturated polymerizable monomers containing no free COOH groups, wherein an olefinically unsaturated diester containing OH groups is used as the unsaturated ester, said diester being obtained by reacting olefinically unsaturated dicarboxylic acids or the anhydrides thereof with a polyhydric alcohol and a monoepoxide compound in one or more steps, characterized in that the copolymerization of the diesters with monomers which contain no free COOH groups is carried out in the presence of copolymerizable monomers containing free COOH groups, and the use of the copolymers as hardenable binders for lacquers and/or coating compositions.
