The formation of interfering polymer deposits in spary drying apparatus during the spray drying of aqueous dispersions or solutions of polymers in a stream of warm air is avoided if water is atomized together with the dispersion or solution.

Method for spray drying polymer emulsions and solutions

Polymer powders comprising aggregated polymer particles, said powders having a low content of fines and being suitable as processing aids in the manufacture of polyvinyl chloride, are made by spray drying an aqueous dispersion (latex) of two emulsion polymers, one of which has a dynamic glass transition temperature above 90.degree. C. and the other of which has a dynamic glass transition below 105.degree. C., the latter being at least 10 K. degrees below the former.

A method for obtaining redispersible powders of a copolymer having a dynamic glass transition temperature, T.sub.max, below 150.degree. C., by spray drying an aqueous dispersion thereof having a minimum film forming temperature, MFT, using an inlet temperature T.sub.i and an outlet temperature T.sub.o such that MFT&lt;T.sub.i &lt;T.sub.max and MFT&lt;T.sub.o &lt;65.degree.

Method for making redispersible synthetic resin powders

Acrylic resin dispersions are prepared by a monomer addition process in the presence of a free-radical initiator and an emulsifier, wherein a portion of the emulsifier is dissolved in the initial aqueous phase and the remaining portion in the added monomer phase. The new process decreases the formation of coagulates, reduces the required amount of emulsifier, and allows the preparation of dispersions of resins incorporating a large proportion of units derived from water-soluble monomers, such as carboxylic acids.
