It is proposed to use compounds of the formula (I) R - CH O - AO m X - CH 2 - O - AO n - CH 2 - CH = CH 2 in which mean: R is an alkyl radical having 8 to 18 C atoms, which may be saturated or unsaturated, straight-chain or branched, X is a sulfate or phosphate group or hydrogen, (AO) an alkylene oxide unit selected from the group consisting of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and butylene oxide, • n is a number in the range of 0 to 50 and • m zero or a number in the range of 1 to 30 as copolymerizable emulsifiers in the emulsion polymerization of olefinically unsaturated monomers. |
