The invention relates to aqueous polymer dispersions comprising polymerized units issued from the following monomers with related weight proportions based on 100 parts of weight of a)+b): a) 50 to 90% of a monoethylenically unsaturated non-ionic monomer, b) 10 to 50% of vinyl aromatic monomer or methyl methacrylate, c) 1 to 5% of a hydroxy-containing (meth)acrylate, d) 0.1 to 3% of acid monomer selected from d1) acid monomer selected from monocarboxylic or dicarboxylic acid monomers and d2) acid monomer selected from phosphorous-based or sulfur-based strong acid monomers or/and their salts, or from the mixtures of d1) and d2), e) 0.001 to 0.5% of chain transfer agent, and f) 0 to 1% one of internal crosslinker bearing at least two copolymerisable ethylenic unsaturations, the polymer having a Tg measured by DSC from −30 to 0° C. and a gel content of 0 to 60%, formed during polymerization.
