The invention relates to a paper composite material with repulp-resistant adhesive coating, consisting of a paper carrier and an adhesive layer, characterized in that an intermediate coat of a dispersion polymer film containing a protective colloid and/or an emulsifying agent and with a glass transition temperature Tg of &#x2212;20&#xb0; to 40&#xb0; is applied between the paper carrier and the adhesive coating. The invention also relates to a method for the production of paper composite material with repulp-resistant adhesive coating.

Shear thinning vinyl acetate based polymer latex composition, especially for adhesives

Low-emission adhesives based on an aqueous, protective-colloid-free dispersion of vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymers

The present invention relates to a vinyl acetate based polymer latex composition obtained by emulsion polymerization, the polymer comprising PVOH, and a monomer mixture, said monomer mixture comprising vinyl acetate, and a pre-crosslinking monomer selected from one or more polyethylenically unsaturated compounds wherein said pre-crosslinking monomer is present in amount of less than 0.01% by weight based on the total monomer content and which pre-crosslinking monomer is initially charged to the polymerization reaction mixture. The invention further relates to use of the vinyl acetate based polymer latex in an adhesive, preferably a woodworking adhesive and to an adhesive, preferably a woodworking adhesive comprising said latex.

Vinyl acetate based polymer latex composition, especially for adhesives

The invention relates to a process for preparing an aqueous polymer dispersion for removable pressure-sensitive adhesive films by means of free-radically initiated aqueous emulsion polymerization of one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers from the group consisting of esters of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid with branched or unbranched alcohols having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, vinyl esters of branched or unbranched carboxylic acids having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, vinyl-aromatics, vinyl halides, olefins and dienes, which comprises copolymerizing from 0.01 to 2.0% by weight of polar, ionic or nonionic comonomers or mixtures thereof, and if polar ionic comonomers, alone or in a mixture, are copolymerized, the proportion thereof is not more than 1.0% by weight, and the amounts in % by weight are based in each case on the overall weight of the comonomers.

Process for preparing an aqueous polymer dispersion for redetachable pressure sensitive adhesive films

The invention provides a redispersible polymer powder based on a mixture of water-insoluble polymer and a water-soluble atomized protective colloid which can be de-activated through a pH change. In addition, the invention concerns aqueous dispersions that can be prepared with the polymer powder and the use of the polymer powder or its aqueous dispersions as a bonding agent in adhesives, plasters or paints.

Redispersible tackifier powders

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.

Copolymers for pressure-sensitive adhesives based on acrylic esters,

Pressure-sensitive adhesives which contain preferably from 60% to 85% by weight of graft copolymers for use as polymeric pressure-sensitive adhesives, and from 15% to 40% by weight of plasticizers such as phthalate or phosphate plasticizers. The graft copolymer consists of from 5% to 30% by weight of a graft base and from 70% to 95% by weight of grafted-on monomer units. The graft base is a copolymer with from 40% to 85% by weight of ethylene units and from 15% to 60% by weight of vinyl acetate units and optionally up to 10% by weight of monomer units of other unsaturated compounds. It may be replaced wholly or partially by other graft bases. The grafted-on monomer units consist of from 30% to 80% by weight of units of vinyl esters of short-chained carboxylic acids, especially vinyl acetate, from 20% to 70% by weight of units of vinyl esters of relatively long-chained carboxylic acids, for example vinyl laurate, and/or units of esters of .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated carboxylic acids with relatively long-chained alcohols and/or units of esters of unsaturated dicarboxylic acids with relatively long-chained alcohols, from 0.5% to 15% by weight of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone units and from 0 to 20% by weight of other olefinically-unsaturated copolymerizable monomer units.
