| abstract |
The invention relates to a process for preparing addition polymers for coating applications by addition polymerization of esters of acrylic acid or of methacrylic acid or of vinylaromatics or of other free-radically polymerizable vinyl compounds or of monomer mixtures that consist predominantly of such monomers, by means of a continuous addition-polymerization process. More particularly, the invention relates to a solventless method of producing addition polymers whereby it is possible to prepare binders for coating applications having superior processing properties, very good thermal stability, improved pigment wetting and higher gloss/lustre. |
