WATER BORNE COATING COMPOSITION, USE OF SUCH COMPOSITION, METHOD FOR COATING A SUBSTRATE USING SUCH COMPOSITION AND COATED SUBSTRATES

摘要

The present invention is directed to a water borne coating composition. The composition according to the present invention comprises an emulsified binder, wherein the binder is a polymer selected from the group consisting of polymers prepared by emulsion polymerization of unsaturated vinyl, acrylate and/or methacrylate monomers, alkyd, polyurethane, and epoxy, 0.3% to 10% by weight of a second polymer selected from one or more of the group consisting of poly(vinyl alcohol) and water-soluble copolymers having repeat units of vinyl alcohol, wherein, if the second polymer is poly(vinyl alcohol), at least 85 wt % of the second polymer has a number of repeat units not less than 2,000, and 0% to 15% by weight of a cellulose-based filler, based on the total weight of the composition, wherein the weight ratio of second polymer to binder is in the range of from 1:100 to 1:1. The composition maybe used in various applications to form a decorative coating which has special visual and tactile effect.
