Abstract

Disclosed are aqueous dispersions having improved rheological and stability characteristics prepared by the emulsion polymerization of low protective colloid grafting potential monomers in the presence of a hydrophobically modified hydroxyethyl cellulose. The resultant aqueous dispersions or latices are useful in the manufacture of latex paints, binders for nonwoven materials, water-based inks, paper coatings and water-borne adhesives, such as pressure-sensitive adhesives.
