VINYL ACETATE / 2-ETHYL HEXANOATE BINDING RESINS. The present invention relates to a polymer composition suitable as a binder resin for fibrous substrates such as woven or non-woven products including textile fibers, clothing in general, papers, lining fabric, engineered cloths, glass or other mineral fibers, materials for covering or paving is described. The binder resin comprises a copolymer obtainable by reacting: (i) 5 to 95 pphwm of vinyl acetate; (ii) 95 to 5 pphwm of at least one monosubstituted <244> fatty acid vinyl ester; and (iii) 10 to 0.1 pphwm of at least one functional monomer, such as self-bonding monomer, and optionally other comonomers. |
