ABSTRACT:
A low formaldehyde, high gel fraction latex binder is made utilizing a compound having the formula ##STR1## wherein R and R', independently, is an alkyl having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and R.sup.4 is hydrogen, or wherein R.sup.3 and R.sup.4, independently is an alkyl, an aromatic, or combinations thereof having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, or wherein said R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are connected to form an internal amide, and wherein the isopropenyl group is either in the ortho, meta or para position. The latex binder is generally an emulsion or latex copolymer made from various monomers including at least one or more conjugated dienes having a total of from 4 to 10 carbon atoms with butadiene being preferred and from one or more vinyl-substituted aromatics having from 8 to 14 carbon atoms, with styrene being preferred. The amount of the above formulation compounds is generally from about 0.25 to about 20 parts by weight based upon 100 parts by weight of the one or more conjugated dienes and the vinyl-substituted aromatic monomers. The latex binder has good stability, and has many applications such as to bind a paper-coating composition to a cellulose substrate, or to bind non-woven fibers together. The latex binder generally contains 10 parts or less by weight of formaldehyde per million parts by weight and desirably contains nil, that is, no detectable amounts of formaldehyde therein, even after extended periods of time, e.g., 28 days.
