Abstract

A ready-mixed (wet) joint compound comprising a filler, binder, thickener, non-leveling agent and sufficient water to afford a viscosity that renders the joint compound usable, the binder consisting essentially of a polyvinyl alcohol-stabilized vinyl acetate/ethylene polymer emulsion, 0.1 to 10 wt % polyethoxylated tallow amine and 0.1 to 10 wt % urea, the wt % being based on emulsion solids.
