Copolymers of olefinically unsaturated monomers processes for the preparation of water-dilutable polyacrylate dispersions and for the preparation of said copolymers and application of these copolymers

摘要

Copolymers (I) of olefinic monomer(s) comprise an isomeric mixt. of esters of isobornyl alcohol with an alpha , beta -unsatd. acid. The isomeric alcohol mixt. contains: (a) not more than 92% isoborneol, (b) at least 3.5% iso-fenchyl alcohol, and (c) at least 1% pseudo-bornyl alcohol. Also claimed are: (i) a process for the prodn. of (I) by bulk polymerisation in the presence of aliphatic azo cpds., diacyl peroxide, alkyl per-esters, alkyl hydroperoxide, dialkyl peroxide or peroxy-di-carbonate as radical initiators; and (ii) a process for the prodn. of water-dilutable polyacrylate dispersions by: (A) dissolution of (I) in a water-dilutable organic solvent, followed by: (B) partial or complete neutralisation, and (C) dilution by adding water or stirring the soln. into water.
