Abstract

A stable aqueous liquid polymer composition, which comprises: PA1 (i) at least one polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) which has an Ostwald viscosity less than 5 mPa.multidot.s corresponding to a degree of polymerization less than 600 and a molar percentage of hydrolysis ranging from 70 to 100 measured from the ester value (DIN 53401), corresponding to a molar percentage of vinyl acetate units from 30 to 0, and PA1 (ii) at least one water-soluble polymer at neutral or alkaline pH, the composition controlling the activation of optical brighteners, water retention and viscosities of paper coating colors.
