Abstract
The invention relates to a method of producing protective colloid free, aqueous dispersions of vinyl ester co-polymers by radical emulsion polymerization of 40 to 99.5 weight percent vinyl acetate, 0 to 40 weight percent of one or several alkenes, 0 to 40 weight percent of one or several monomers from the group consisting of vinyl esters of C,to C,alkyl carboxylic acids, and of (meth)acrylic-acid esters of alcohols with 1 to 12 C atoms and optionally, additional copolymerizable mono- or poly-ethylenically unsaturated monomers. Said method is characterized in that 0.1 to 5 weight percent of one or several emulsifiers are polymerized with a persulfate initiator in the presence of 0.5 to 20 weight percent mono- or poly-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid amides or derivatives thereof. The invention also relates to a method for producing protective colloid-free dispersion powders by spray drying or freeze drying said dispersions.
