Polymer obtainable by a multistage polymerization process which involves conducting, in a first step, an aqueous-phase polymerization of at least one ethylenically monofunctional compound alone or together with at least one-ethylenically difunctional or poly-functional compound together in the presence of a polyesterpolyol, polyurethane and/or polyacrylate; followed by a reaction of the resulting product with a crosslinker; and its use.
Polymer obtainable by a multistage polymerization process which involves conducting, in a first step, an aqueous-phase polymerization of at least one ethylenically monofunctional compound alone or together with at least one ethylenically difunctional or poly-functional compound together in the presence of a polyesterpolyol, polyurethane and/or polyacrylate; and, in a subsequent step, a reaction of the resulting product with at least one ethylenically monofunctional compound alone or together with at least one ethylenically difunctional or polyfunctional compound; followed by a reaction of the resulting product with a crosslinker; and its use.
A method for producing an aqueous polymer dispersion by radical emulsion polymerization of an aqueous monomer emulsion, wherein the monomer emulsion is produced continually according to consumption by mixing the components thereof using a mixing device.
A crosslinking agent containing a polyallyl ether compound having at least one hydroxyl group derived from a glycidyl group and at least two allyl groups can be used for the production of a highly water-absorbing polymer comprising a polymerizable compound having a carbon-carbon double bond or a salt thereof, has a high solubility in aqueous solution of the monomer and gives a highly water-absorbing polymer having water absorptivity required at practical levels.
