Described herein are copolymers and latex paint compositions using such copolymers that are thermally stable and provide good adhesion, blocking resistance while using relatively small amounts of pigment and coverage. In one aspect, the heat age stable composition comprises an acrylic, styrene acrylic, vinyl acrylic copolymer or blends thereof comprising at least one polymerizable Phosphate type surfactant and at least one linear or branched hydrophobic monomer as additional polymerizable units, said at least one polymerizable phosphate type surfactant and said at least one linear or branched hydrophobic monomer Both are polymerized into the acrylic, styrene acrylic, vinyl acrylic copolymer backbone. |
