| abstract |
The invention is a ready-to-use, water-redispersible powder composition useful for preparing photographic recording materials or inkjet recording materials, which comprises a mixture containing polymers made from ethylenically unsaturated monomers and gelatin, wherein the polymers are prepared by emulsion polymerization in the presence of at least one emulsifier selected from emulsifiers with ionic and nonionic groups and if exclusively ionic emulsifiers are used, the copolymerization is carried out in the presence of comonomers which contain one or more groups selected from -COOH, -OH, SO3-, NCH2OH and -C=O. |
