Hydraulically setting compositions containing mineral binders exhibit improved adhesion when polymer powders produced by drying a silica sol and a redispersible polymer powder emulsion are added.

Dry building material formulations containing polymer powders

The invention relates to processes for producing protective colloid-stabilized polymers based on (meth)acrylate esters in the form of their aqueous dispersions and water-redispersible polymer powders by means of free-radically initiated emulsion polymerization of one or more monomers from the group consisting of the esters of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid and optionally one or more further monomers which are copolymerizable therewith, in the presence of one or more protective colloids, and optionally drying of the resulting aqueous dispersion, characterized in that the emulsion polymerization is carried out in the presence of one or more fully hydrolysed 1-alkylvinyl ester-vinyl ester copolymers as protective colloid.

Process for producing protective colloid-stabilized polymers

The invention relates to a crosslinkable polymer powder composition redispersible in water, obtainable by means of free radical polymerization, in an aqueous medium, of one or more monomers from the group consisting of vinyl esters of straight-chain or branched alkylcarboxylic acids having 1 to 15 C atoms, methacrylates and acrylates of alcohols having 1 to 15 C atoms, vinylaromatics, olefins, dienes and vinyl halides, no epoxide-functional comonomers being copolymerized, and subsequent drying of the polymer dispersion obtained thereby, wherein, before and/or during the polymerization and/or before the drying of the polymer dispersion obtained thereby, an epoxy resin is added and, if appropriate after the drying, a curing agent crosslinking with the epoxy resin is added.

Crosslinkable polymer powder composition which is redispersible in water

A method is provided for producing protective colloid-stabilized vinyl aromatic-1.3-diene-copolymers in the form of their aqueous polymer dispersions or in the form of a powder which can be re-dispersed in water, by emulsion-polymerizing a mixture containing at least one vinyl aromatic and at least one 1,3-diene in the presence of a protective colloid and optionally, drying the resulting polymer dispersions. In the method part of the protective colloid is provided straightaway and part is metered.

Process for preparing protective-colloid-stabilized vinylaromatic-1,3-diene copolymers

A method for producing protective-colloid-stabilized polymers in the form of their aqueous polymer dispersions or in the form of powders which can be re-dispersed in water, wherein one or several monomers from the group made up of vinyl aromatics, 1.3 dienes, acrylic acid esters and methacrylic acid esters of alcohols with 1 to 15 C-atoms are polymerized in the presence of a combination of protective colloids consisting of one or several protective colloids from the group of hydrophobically modified, partly saponified polyvinyl esters which produce a surface tension of &lE;40 mN/m as a 2% aqueous solution, and one or several protective colloids which produce a surface tension of >40 mN/m as a 2% aqueous solution.

Flexible building material compounds

The invention provides a powdered crosslinkable textile binder composition for producing polymer bonded textile moldings or sheet materials, comprising

Powdered crosslinkable textile binder composition

The invention is a ready-to-use, water-redispersible powder composition useful for preparing photographic recording materials or inkjet recording materials, which comprises a mixture containing polymers made from ethylenically unsaturated monomers and gelatin, wherein the polymers are prepared by emulsion polymerization in the presence of at least one emulsifier selected from emulsifiers with ionic and nonionic groups and if exclusively ionic emulsifiers are used, the copolymerization is carried out in the presence of comonomers which contain one or more groups selected from --COOH, --OH, SO.sub.3.sup.-, NCH.sub.2 OH and --C.dbd.O.

Redispersible powder compositions for preparing photographic recording

The invention provides a redispersibte dispersion powder composition comprising a) a base polymer selected from the group consisting of vinyl ester polymers, styrene polymres, acrylate polymers and vinyl chloride polymers, b) from 2 to 15% by weight, based on the weight of the base polymer, of polyvinyl alcohol having a degree of hydrolysis of from 85 to 95 mol % and a Hoppler viscosity of from 2 to 25 mPa.s, c) from 3 to 30% by weight, based on the total weight of polymeric components, of fine antiblocking agent, and d) from 1 to 15% by weight, based on the weight of the base polymer, of an aminofunctional polyvinyl alcohol soluble in cold water and having a Hoppler viscosity of from 1 to 20 mPa.s and a saponification number of from 0 to 250, which comprises residues of aminofunctional vinyl units of the formula CH.sub.2 .dbd.CH--(CH.sub.2).sub.x --NH.sub.2, wherein x is a number of from 0 to 4. The dispersion powder compositoin of the invention is particularly suitable for use in building materials, in particular, dry mortars comprising Portland cement as inorganic binder, and leads in these to increased adhesive strength of the mortar.

Redispersible dispersion powder composition

The invention relates to adhesive compositions for gluing wood containing aqueous vinyl ester graft copolymer dispersions and water-soluble acid metal salts or free acids, in which the adhesive compositions exhibit outstanding resistance to hot water and have high storage stability. The vinyl ester graft copolymer comprises from 2 to 12 percent by weight, based on the total weight of the graft copolymer, of one or more polyvinyl alcohols having a degree of hydrolysis of from 60 to 99 mol persent and 88 to 98 percent by weight, based on the total weight of the graft copolymer, of a grafting monomer mixture. The grafting monomer mixture contains from 5 to 50 percent by weight, based on the total weight of the monomer mixture, of vinyl esters of saturated, highly branched aliphatic monocarboxylic acids having 9 or 10 carbon atoms, vinyl pivalate, diisopropyl maleate, diisopropyl fumarate, vinyl chloride and mixtures thereof.
