Claim 1
Independent Claim
161 words
A composition of matter comprising an aqueous alkaline dispersion of about 10 to 30% by weight solids comprising on a dry weight basis 100 parts by weight of a rubbery graft low gel vinyl pyridine copolymer consisting essentially of (a) a core of a copolymer of butadiene-1,3 and styrene in the parts by weight ratio of butadiene-1,3 to styrene of about 40:60 to 60:40 and having a gel content of from about 0 to below 40% and (b) a shell of a copolymer of butadiene-1,3 and a vinyl pyridine and having a gel content of from about 0 to below 70% and (c) where in said graft copolymer the total amount of said monomers is from about 47 to 69% by weight of butadiene-1,3, from 23 to 52% by weight of styrene and from 1 to 8% by weight of the vinyl pyridine and a water-soluble thermosetting phenolic-aldehyde resin in an amount of from about 10 to 40 parts by weight.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
161 words
A composition of matter comprising an aqueous alkaline dispersion of about 10 to 30% by weight solids comprising on a dry weight basis 100 parts by weight of a rubbery graft low gel vinyl pyridine copolymer consisting essentially of (a) a core of a copolymer of butadiene-1,3 and styrene in the parts by weight ratio of butadiene-1,3 to styrene of about 40:60 to 60:40 and having a gel content of from about 0 to below 40% and (b) a shell of a copolymer of butadiene-1,3 and a vinyl pyridine and having a gel content of from about 0 to below 70% and (c) where in said graft copolymer the total amount of said monomers is from about 47 to 69% by weight of butadiene-1,3, from 23 to 52% by weight of styrene and from 1 to 8% by weight of the vinyl pyridine and a water-soluble thermosetting phenolic-aldehyde resin in an amount of from about 10 to 40 parts by weight.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
52 words
A composition of matter according to claim 1 wherein said shell contains a gel content of from about 0 to below 40%, where said vinyl pyridine is 2-vinyl pyridine and where said resin is used in an amount of from about 12 to 30 parts by weight and is a resorcinol-formaldehyde resin.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
A composition of another according to claim 1 where said solids contain additionally, in an amount by weight substantially equal to the amount of said resin, 2,6-bis(2,4-dihydroxyphenylmethyl)-4-chlorophenol composition and where said vinyl pyridine is 2-vinyl pyridine.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
50 words
A composition of matter according to claim 1 in which up to about 50 parts by weight of said graft copolymer has been replaced with a rubbery copolymer of about 40 to 50 parts by weight of styrene and the balance butadiene-1,3 and where said vinyl pyridine is 2-vinyl pyridine.
