Disclosed is a polymer and its preparation by reacting part of the monomers in the reactor in such a way as to obtain a high molecular weight product, and reacting at least one other portion of the monomer in the same reactor in such a way as to obtain at least one low molecular weight fraction. The products are useful in contact adhesives, particularly when blended with an aminoplast or phenoplast as a tackifier and crosslinker, and with a thickening agent such as polyvinyl alcohol.

Emulsion polymer of heterogeneous molecular weight and preparation

Polymeric materials which comprise a hydroxyalkyl ester of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, a monoethylenically .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated carboxylic acid, and an alkyl ester or esters of acrylic and/or methacrylic acid are partially neutralized, isolated, and powdered to give useful powder coating compositions. The composition may be utilized for coating metallic articles.

Coated metal article

Polymeric materials are disclosed which comprise a hydroxyalkyl ester of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, a monoethylenically .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated carboxylic acid, and an alkyl ester or esters of acrylic and/or methacrylic acid are partially neutralized, isolated, and powdered to give useful powder coating compositions. The compositions are particularly adapted to provide coatings on metals, a method for accomplishing this being disclosed.
