There is disclosed polymers and aqueous dispersions of them, the polymers containing specific copolymers which comprise at least four different ethylenically unsaturated monomers (such as 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, methyl acrylate and styrene, and optionally (meth)acrylic acid, ethyl imidazolidone methacrylate, n-butyl acrylate n-dodecyl methacrylate and/or methyl methacrylate). Also described is production of said polymers and dispersions by emulsion polymerization and their use as adhesives, for example as pressure sensitive adhesives on polymeric film. |
