The present invention relates to a process for preparing dye-comprising aqueous polymer dispersions by free-radical aqueous emulsion polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers in the presence of free-radical initiators, in which at least some of the monomers are employed in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion E1 whose disperse phase comprises at least one oil-soluble dye, wherein the disperse phase of E1 is formed essentially of dye-comprising monomer droplets having a diameter&#x3c;500 nm. The present invention relates in addition to dye-comprising formulations which comprise the dye-comprising polymers of the invention and to pigmented formulations which comprise a polymer of the invention comprising optical brightener.

Method for producing aqueous polymer dispersions containing colorants

An aqueous polymer dispersion with a solids volume concentration of at least 50% by volume is obtainable by polymerizing monomers by the method of free radical aqueous emulsion polymerization with the addition of at least one fine and at least one coarse aqueous starting polymer dispersion.

Aqueous polymer dispersion

An aqueous polymer dispersion having a solids volume concentration of 50% by volume or more is obtainable by polymerizing radical polymerizable monomers other than vinyl or vinylidene halides by the method of free radical aqueous emulsion polymerization with the addition of an aqueous starting polymer dispersion having a certain diameter distribution of the starting polymer particles present therein by the stream addition process.

An aqueous polymer dispersion with a final solids volume concentration of at least 50% by volume is obtainable by polymerizing at least one radical polymerizable monomer by the method of free radical aqueous emulsion polymerization with the addition of an aqueous dispersion of a starting polymer.

Aqueous polymer dispersion having a broad particle size distribution

Aqueous polymer dispersion having a wide particle size distribution

An aqueous polymer dispersion with a solids volume concentration of at least 50% by volume is obtainable by polymerizing monomers by the method of free radical aqueous emulsion polymerization with the addition of at least two starting polymer dispersions, of which one contains not only particularly finely divided but also coarsely divided polymer particles.

Aqueous polymer dispersion having a broad particle distribution

In a process for preparing a final aqueous polymer dispersion having a solids volume concentration of 50% by volume or more, free-radically polymerizable monomers other than vinyl or vinylidene halides are subjected to a free radical aqueous emulsion polymerization by the feed stream addition process in the presence of an aqueous starting polymer dispersion whose dispersed starting polymer particles have a certain minimum diameter.

Preparation of an aqueous polymer dispersion

Aqueous polymer dispersion containing a polydisperse particle size

A method of measurement for analytical ultracentrifuges with a multi-cell rotor and with simultaneous measurement of several cells, in which light pulses of constant energy are passed, independently of the rotor speed, through individual selectable measuring cells in the entire speed range and in which these light pulses can be provided either by a controlled laser beam or a controlled Kerr cell or a controlled gas discharge lamp.
