A process for reducing the heat-seal temperature requirements of films and coatings produced from high vinylidene chloride polymer latexes comprising having present in films or coatings formed from such latexes, prior to fusion thereof, from about 0.5 to about 5 percent by weight of latex polymer solids of an alkyl phenol olefin oxide adduct of the formula ##SPC1## Wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen or alkyl and R.sub.2 is alkyl wherein the sum of R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 equals from eight to 20 carbon atoms; where Y is hydrogen or methyl; where n is an integer from 6 to 40; and where R.sub.3 is hydrogen or methyl.
The film-forming composition comprises a mixture of a linear low density polyethylene and an antifogging agent. The antifogging agent comprises a compound of formula I. The composition is useful for preparing films with antifogging properties.
A novel leveling agent for self polishing dry-bright floor polishes having the following general structure is described: ##STR1## where R is either a non-linear aliphatic hydrocarbon or mixture of hydrocarbons containing 8 to 15 carbon atoms or an alkylbenzene moiety containing 8 to 12 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain A is either Oxygen or Sulfur atom R.sub.1 is either Hydrogen atom or CH.sub.3 R.sub.2 is either Hydrogen atom or CH.sub.3 a and b are small numbers or average numbers totaling no more than about 7 so that the solubility of the compounds is less than about 0.4% in water at room or application temperature, but when R is alkylbenzene moiety, A is oxygen atom only and R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are hydrogen atoms only.
The invention relates to a method of using aqueous polymer dispersions based on acrylate-methacrylate copolymers as lamination adhesives for heat sealed glossy films, where the aqueous polymer dispersions have a solids content of from 20 to 65% by weight, the copolymer has a glass transition temperature of from -35.degree. to -10.degree. C., a K value of from 40 to 100 and a mean particle size of less than 200 nm, and the copolymer is obtainable by free-radical emulsion polymerization of: a) from 50 to 80 parts by weight of one or more comonomers from the group consisting of alkyl acrylates of alcohols having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, b) from 10 to 25 parts by weight of one or more comonomers from the group consisting of alkyl methacrylates of alcohols having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and c1) from 0 to 10 parts by weight of one or more vinyl-aromatic comonomers, c2) from 0.1 to 4.0 parts by weight of one or more .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated, monoolefinic carboxylic acids, c3) from 0 to 4.0 parts by weight of one or more .alpha..beta.-unsaturated, monoolefinic carboxamides, c4) from 0 to 8 parts by weight of one or more comonomers from the group consisting of hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylates made from esters of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid and diols having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, and c5) from 0.1 to 4.0 parts by weight of one or more .alpha..beta.-unsaturated, monoolefinic compounds containing sulfonyl or sulfonate groups.
There is provided an electrocoating bath composition for depositing a coat of polymer material onto an anode. This bath composition comprises an essentially aqueous solution, emulsion or dispersion of the polymer and 0.01 to 2.0% by weight with reference to the bath composition of a compound of one of the general formulae: wherein R and R' are each an organic radical, X is one of the following groups --SH, --OH (phenolic or enolic), =NH, --NH.H, and X' is a hydrogen atom or X, the groups X being in such electronic configuration with reference to the organic radical R or the organic radicals R and R' that there is always a presence of labile protons therein under operative conditions of the electrocoating bath, or of a salt of said compound, and the compound or its salt being in an at least partially disassociated state in the electrocoating bath composition and capable of proton association in close vicinity of the anode under conditions of operation. When the electrocoating process is carried out in such bath, be it batchwise or continuously, an increased rate of polymer deposition onto the anode is achieved.
