An aqueous polymer dispersion is provided comprising a plasticizer comprising monoesters, diesters and triesters of glycerol. Aqueous polymer dispersions have enhanced film forming properties and are useful as aqueous coatings, sealants, adhesives, varnishes, films and inks. Plasticizers include any organic polymer commonly used in aqueous film forming compositions, such as polyvinyl acetate, copolymers of vinyl acetate and ethylene or other olefins, acrylic polymers, acrylic / styrene copolymers, polyesters, polyurethanes, It can be used with elastomeric styrene / butadiene copolymers and neoprene and is compatible with other plasticizers and binders. |
