| abstract |
Textile binding agent in the form of an aqueous copolymer dispersion or a copolymer powder obtainable by means of radical emulsion polymerization, of a) one or several monomers from the vinyl ester group, the esters of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid, vinyl aromatics, vinyl halogenides and alpha-olefins and b) 0.01 to 10 w/w per cent, related to the total weight of the copolymer, of one or several monomers b1) from the group of N-(alkoxymethyl)acrylamides and N-(alkoxymethyl)methacrylamides, or of one or several monomers b2) from the group N-methylolacrylamide and N-methylolmethacrylamide, or mixtures b1) and b2), in which 0.01 to 10 w/w per cent, related to the total weight of the copolymer, of one or several emulsifiers of the group of sulphosuccinic acid diesters with linear, unbranched or branched or cycloaliphatic alcohols is employed as emulsifier(s) or added to an aqueous copolymer dispersion upon termination of the emulsion polymerization. |
