Abstract
Graft polymers in which carboxylic acid vinyl esters and if appropriate other ethylenically unsaturated monomers are grafted polymerically onto polyurethane graft bases by means of grafting polymerization initiated by free radicals, and hydrolysis products of the graft polymers can be obtained by grafting carboxylic acid vinyl esters with 3 to 20 carbon atoms and if appropriate other ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable monomers, which are copolymerizable if appropriate, in amounts of 10 to 99% by weight, based on the graft polymer, onto a polyurethane graft base by grafting polymerization initiated by free radicals, and if appropriate subsequently partly or completely hydrolyzing the vinyl ester units and if appropriate other hydrolyzable monomer units in the grafted-on polymer radicals of the graft polymers by hydrolysis and/or alcoholysis. Preferred vinyl esters to be grafted on are vinyl acetate and/or vinyl propionate and if appropriate vinyl versatate. The grafting polymerization is carried out in solution or in bulk and can also be carried out in emulsion or suspension.
