Abstract
The present invention relates generally to compositions prepared by polymerizing vinyl neo C -C carboxylic acid esters. Such compositions include latex compositions that are formed by polymerizing vinyl neo C -C carboxylic acid esters with ethylenically unsaturated comonomers such as acrylic acid esters and vinyl acetate. The polymer compositions of the present invention are particularly suitable for use in applications such as architectural (both interior and exterior), direct-to-metal and marine coatings and transportation maintenance applications.
