The invention relates to a water based polymer composition comprising a biopolymer and a synthetic polymer resin. The biopolymer results from a mechanical thermoplastic processing of a polysaccharide and/or protein starting material using shear forces in the presence of a crosslinking agent. The synthetic polymer resin consists of a water based hydrophilic resin and/or hydrophilic/hydrophobic resin. These compositions have a good storage stability. They are intended for the production of coatings with fair properties.

Water based polymer composition comprising a biopolymer and a polymer resin

Halogenated photopolymerizable adhesive, which comprises: (a) 20 to 70% by weight of at least one halogenated polymer, which: (1) has a chain interrupted by at least one oxygen or nitrogen atom, (2) contains from 4 to 70% by weight of halogen atoms attached to carbon atoms having the electronic configuration sp.sup.2, (called 'active halogen atoms'), (3) has an average molecular weight between 700 and 10,000 and (4) has a glass transition temperature (Tg) between -80.degree. C and 20.degree. C; (b) 5 to 30% by weight of at least one organic monomer compound containing at least two acrylic and/or methacrylic acid radicals and containing from 0 to 65% by weight of active halogen atoms; (c) 20 to 70% by weight of at least one organic monomer compound containing an acrylic or methacrylic acid radical and containing from 0 to about 65% by weight of active halogen atoms; (d) about 1 to about 25% by weight of a photo-initiator system comprising: (1) 0.5 to 100% by weight of at least one aromatic ketone, (2) 0 to 99.5% by weight of at least one tertiary amine, at least one carbon atom of which, in the alpha position with regard to the nitrogen atom, carries at least one hydrogen atom, (3) 0 to 90% by weight of an aromatic or nonaromatic alpha-dione, the sum of (1) + (2) + (3) representing 100% by weight of the photo-initiator system, the total content of active halogen atoms amonting to 3 to 50% by weight of the total halogenated photopolymerizable adhesive and lamination or contact adhesives based on said halogenated photopolymerizable adhesive.

Halogenated photopolymerizable adhesives

A film-forming halogenated photopolymerizable composition, which comprises: a) 20 to 70% by weight of at least one halogenated polymer, which (1) has a chain interrupted by at least one oxygen or nitrogen atom, (2) contains from 4 to 70% by weight halogen atoms attached to carbon atoms having the electronic configuration sp.sup.2, (called active halogen atoms), (3) has an average molecular weight between 700 and 10,000, (4) has a glass transition temperature (Tg) between 20.degree. C and the thermal decomposition point of the polymer; b) 20 to 60% by weight of at least one monomeric organic compound containing at least two acrylic acid and/or methacrylic acid radicals and containing from 0 to 65% by weight of active halogen atoms; c) 0 to about 40% by weight of at least one monomeric organic compound containing an acrylic acid or methacrylic acid radical and containing from 0 to about 65% by weight active halogen atoms; d) about 1 to about 25% by weight of a photoinitiator system comprising 1) 0.5 to 100% by weight of at least one aromatic ketone, 2) 0 to 99.5% by weight of at least one tertiary amine, at least one carbon atom of which, in the alpha position with regard to the nitrogen atom, carries at least one hydrogen atom; 3) 0 to 90% by weight of an aromatic or non-aromatic alpha-dione, the sum of 1) + 2) + 3) representing 100% by weight of the photoinitiator system; and the total content of active halogen atoms representing about 3 to about 50% by weight of the total halogenated photopolymerizable composition and printing inks, paints and varnishes based on said halogenated photopolymerizable composition, particularly suitable, inter alia, for the manufacture of printed circuits.
