The present disclosure provides an adhesive composition. The adhesive composition contains (A) multi-stage latex polymer particles, (B) a linear diamine base, and (C) an ethoxylated surfactant. The (A) multi-stage latex polymer particles include (i) a first-stage polymer containing acrylic acid monomer and a first vinyl monomer, and (ii) a second-stage polymer containing a meth acrylic acid monomer and a second vinyl monomer, with the proviso that the second vinyl monomer is different than the meth acrylic acid monomer. The first-stage polymer is bound to the second-stage polymer.

Adhesive composition

The present disclosure provides an aqueous composition. The aqueous composition includes multi-stage latex polymer particles. The multi-stage latex polymer particles include (A) a first-stage polymer containing (i) an n-methylol functional monomer and (ii) a first vinyl monomer; and (B) a second-stage polymer containing (i) a formaldehyde-scavenging monomer and (ii) a second vinyl monomer. The first-stage polymer is bound to the second-stage polymer.

Aqueous composition comprising multi-stage latex polymer particles

A process for improving a latex comprising the steps of (a) providing a latex comprising a polymer binder, wherein said polymer binder is formed by polymerization of a monomer mixture comprising one or more ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid functional monomer, and (b) passing said latex comprising said polymer binder over a cation exchange resin.

The present invention provides a thermal recording material having a thermosensitive layer comprising single phase diffuser polymer particles. Each of the diffuser polymer particles has a refractive index at the center thereof (RI) different from a refractive index at the surface thereof (RI), and a continuous refractive index gradient, sometimes referred to as GRIN technology. The diffuser polymer particles may have a RIof from 1.46 to 1.61 and a particle size of 0.85 to 15 microns. Additionally, the thermal recording material of the present invention may also include heat deformable particles and a binder. The present invention also provides a method for providing an image by subjecting selected portions of a recording material such as that described above to a physical agent selected from the group consisting of heat, pressure, and combinations thereof, sufficient to reduce the opacity of said selected portions.

Thermal recording material with improved initial contrast

An aqueous inkjet ink composition suitable for printing on a hydrophobic surface such as a vinyl surface including an aqueous vehicle, a self-dispersed pigment, a silicone-containing surfactant and an aqueous emulsion polymer having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of from &#x2212;40&#xb0; C. to 150&#xb0; C. Also provided is a method for printing an image on a hydrophobic substrate.
