Abstract

The present invention relates to a composition which comprises a stable aqueous dispersion of discrete polymer particles and a water-soluble dispersant adsorbed onto the surfaces of pigment particles, wherein the polymer particles comprise structural units of a sulfonic acid monomer or a salt thereof. The present invention addresses a need in the art by providing a way to improve the hiding efficiency of compositions containing pigment such as TiO2 and associative rheology modifiers.
