Abstract
A vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer emulsion is disclosed, comprising a vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer composed of from 10 to 40% by weight of an ethylene unit and from 90 to 60% by weight of a vinyl acetate unit and an emulsifying dispersant in an amount of from 2.5 parts by weight or more but less than 5.0 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the vinyl acetate unit, and having a mean particle size of not larger than 0.9 .mu.m and a solids content of from 65 to 75% by weight, wherein the emulsifying dispersant contains from 1.0 to 1.9 parts by weight of partially saponified polyvinyl alcohol prepared so as to have an average polymerization degree of from 300 to 1,000 and from 1.0 to 3.0 parts by weight of a polyoxyethylene nonionic surface active agent having an HLB of from 16.5 to 17.5 per 100 parts by weight of the vinyl acetate unit. A process for producing the vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer is also disclosed.
