Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for preparing an aqueous dispersion of multiphase occluded polymer particles comprising the steps of a) contacting, under emulsion polymerization conditions, first monomers and a chain transfer agent to form an aqueous dispersion of first polymer particles having a Tg in the range of from −30° C. to 30° C.; then b) contacting the aqueous dispersion of first polymer particles with a second monomer under emulsion polymerization conditions to form an aqueous dispersion of second polymer particles occluded within the first polymer particles, wherein the first monomers a phosphorus acid monomer or a salt thereof; and the second monomer comprises at least 90 weight percent methyl methacrylate. The aqueous dispersion of occluded polymer particles arising from the process of the present invention is useful in a formulation that can be used to prepare a water-resistant blister free LASD coating.
