ABSTRACT:
A method for producing an acidic, concentrated polymeric emulsion that can be diluted and thereafter neutralized to provide a novel polymeric thickener is disclosed. The method comprises emulsion-polymerizing, in acidic aqueous media, a first monomer mixture which comprises an acidic moiety-containing monomer and an ethylenically-unsaturated monomer copolymerizable with the acidic moiety-containing monomer, for producing an alkali-soluble dispersion in the acidic aqueous media. The ethylenically-unsaturated monomer is selected from the group consisting of a mono vinylidene aromatic monomer, an alpha beta ethylenically-unsaturated carboxylic acid ester and its derivatives, a vinyl ester and its derivatives, an ethylenically-unsaturated dicarboxylic anhydride and its derivatives, and mixtures thereof. The method further comprises adding to the alkali-soluble dispersion-containing aqueous media a second monomer mixture which comprises the above-mentioned ethylenically-unsaturated monomer and an amino moiety-containing monomer that is copolymerizable with the ethylenically-unsaturated monomer, and then emulsion-polymerizing the second monomer mixture in the presence of the alkali-soluble dispersion, while maintaining acidic conditions of the aqueous media, for producing the concentrated, polymeric emulsion mentioned above. The concentrated, polymeric emulsion can readily be diluted. Upon being diluted, the thus-diluted polymeric emulsion, upon adjustment of pH to more than about 6.5, provides the novel polymeric thickener mentioned above.
