The present invention provides polymer modified aqueous urea formaldehyde resin (UF resin) binder compositions useful in making a treated glass mat, e.g., for roofing shingles, wherein the polymer modifier is an multistage aqueous emulsion acorn copolymer comprising one protuberant polymer stage containing phosphorous acid groups and one or more other polymer stage comprising an addition copolymer incompatible with the protuberant polymer stage, wherein the multistage aqueous emulsion copolymer has a measured Tg of from &#x2212;60 to 25&#xb0; C., or, preferably from &#x2212;30 to 12&#xb0; C. and, further wherein the weight ratio of the total of monomers used to make the one or more other polymer stage to the total amount of monomers used to make the protuberant polymer stage ranges from 3:1 to 50:1, or, preferably, from 3:1 to 30:1 or, more preferably, from 3:1 to 20:1, or, even more preferably, from 8:1 to 12:1.

Phosphorous-acid monomer containing emulsion polymer modified urea-formaldehyde resin compositions for making fiberglass products

The present invention provides methacrylic acid polymer modified aqueous urea formaldehyde resin (UF resin) binder compositions useful in making a treated glass mat, e.g. for roofing shingles, wherein the methacrylic acid polymer comprises the reaction product of at least 50 wt. %, based on the total weight of monomers used to make the methacrylic acid polymer, of methacrylic acid or its salts, or mixtures thereof, a water-soluble phosphorous or sulfur containing compound and the remainder of a carboxylic acid group containing monomer, such as acrylic acid. The methacrylic acid polymers have at least one of a phosphite group, hypophosphite group, phosphinate group, diphosphinate group, and/or sulfonate group and enable modified UF resins to have early strength development even when the binder compositions comprise from 0.1 to less than 5 wt. % of the polymer modifier, based on total solids of the UF resin and the polymer modifier.

The present invention provides aqueous binder compositions comprising one or more polyol and a multistage copolymer, preferably, an all acrylic and allylic or all acrylic copolymer, having as the outermost stage a polymerized acid functional aqueous solution polymer and as the one or more remaining stage(s) a vinyl emulsion polymer, wherein the emulsion polymer stage(s) in the multistage copolymer comprises 5 wt. % or less of hydrophilic monomer, based on the total weight of monomers used to make the emulsion polymer stage(s). The multistage copolymer enables incorporation of a much higher amount of hydrophilic monomer into a polymeric binder without the attendant handling or viscosity problems. Also provided are methods of using the aqueous binder compositions comprising pultruding two or more non-woven fibers or a fiber roving with the aqueous binder composition, and drying, Articles comprising the bound fiber(s) are provided.
