METHOD FOR PREPARING ACRYLIC COPOLYMER AQUEOUS DISPERSION FOR PRESSURE-SENSITIVE GLUES Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC C08F2/24 C08F220/18 

FIELD: chemistry of polymers.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to emulsion method for co-polymerization of acrylic monomers. Invention proposes a method involving preliminary emulsification of mixture of butyl acrylate with (meth)acrylic and/or vinyl monomer in water in the following mass ratio co-monomer : water = 1:(0.2-0.3) in the presence of 3.4-4.0 wt.-% of sulfooxyethylated alkylphenol ammonium salt wherein (C₈-C₁₀)-alkyl has the alkylation degree 18-26 wt.-%, the following emulsion co-polymerization at temperature 78-82°C for 3-10 h at continuous dosing of preliminary prepared co-monomers emulsion and 0.3-0.6 wt.-% of ammonium or potassium persulfate in the total ratio to the reaction mass co-monomer : water = 1:(0.4-0.5) followed by additional polymerization of the reaction mixture in addition of 0.1 wt.-% of ammonium or potassium persulfate after keeping the reaction mixture for 0.5 and 1.5 h and its final temperature keeping for 2 h. Invention provides increasing concentration of acrylic copolymer aqueous dispersion at low content of coagulum and improving its adhesion properties. Invention provides the development of a method for preparing highly concentrated aqueous dispersion with the content of acrylic copolymer 60 wt.-%, not less, for glues showing sensitivity to pressure.

EFFECT: improved preparing method, improved and valuable properties of dispersion.
