Modern lacquers with a low organic solvent content are widely formulated as stable lattices. Such a modified latex is useful as a coating for substrates such as paper, wood, and metals, and as a binder in aqueous systems. 

A modified latex composition contains a phosphorus surface group. Such a latex is formed by emulsion polymerization of unsaturated synthetic monomers in the presence of a phosponate or a phosphate which is intimately bound to the surface of the latex. Thus, a modified latex containing 46% solids was prepared by emulsion polymerization of butadiene, styrene, acrylic acid-styrene seed latex, and a phosphonate comonomer in H20 in the presence of phosphated alkylphenol ethoxylate at 90°C. The modified latex is useful as a coating for substrates and as a binder in aqueous systems containing inorganic fillers employed in paper coatings, carpet backings, and wallboards [119]. 

Copolymers from the monomers AMPS, diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC), N-vinyl-N-methylacetamide (VIMA), acrylamides, and acrylates are particularly useful for fluid loss additives [824]. The molecular weights of the copolymers range from 200,000 to 1,000,000 Dalton. The copolymers are used in suspensions of solids in aqueous systems, including saline, as water binders. In these systems, the water release to a formation is substantially reduced by the addition of one or more of these copolymers. 

The survey summaries show that zeoHte adsorbents are most often employed for non-aqueous systems. This is because the material generally used as a binder to fabricate an agglomerated zeoHte, is a clay comprising silicon dioxide and aluminum oxide which tends to dissolve in water. This dissolution results in negative changes in physical characteristics of the adsorbent as well as silicon contamination of the solution which manifests itself as turbidity in the product. 

These materials are nonionic concentrated dispersions of pigment colors. These dispersed colors contain no resin binders and are useful in aqueous systems. 

Poly(vinyl alcohol) is used in the coating sector (e.g, as a thickening agent for aqueous systems), in adhesives, for finishing paper and cardboard, for coating paper, as a binder for strippable coatings, and as a protective colloid for dispersions. 

Aqueous Systems. Type 6 in Table 2.5. Aqueous dispersions of polyurethanes that are slightly supported by ionic groups also undergo physical film formation. The binder consists of polymer chains that are coupled via urethane and urea groups, and contain basic or acid groups. Neutralization by salt formation provides the necessary hydrophilicity if the self-emulsifying properties resulting from incorporation of hydrophilic polyether radicals are insufficient. 

Commercially available synthetic zeolites are generally produced via the following sequence of steps synthesis, pelletization and calcination. Synthesis is carried out under hydrothermal conditions, i.e. crystallization from aqueous systems containing various types of reactant. Gels are crystallized in closed systems at temperatures which vary between room temperature and 200°C. The time required may vary from a few hours to several days. The crystals are filtered, washed, ion exchanged (if required) and then mixed with a suitable clay binder. The pellets are then formed, usually as spheres or extrudates before being dried and fired to provide the final product. The binder must provide the maximum resistance to attrition while facilitating the diffusion of adsorbates into the microporous interior. 

W. are a group of water-soluble or swellable, sometimes hydrogel-forming, RR-based (with a few exceptions) polymers, which act as - adhesives, binders, -+film formers, thickeners, gelling agents, suspension aids, crystallization inhibitors, emulsion stabilizers, protective colloids, or water absorbents by giving certain rheological properties to aqueous systems. 

As a general mle in batteries, power loss resulting from impedance increase is observed during cell aging. There are many reasons why time and temperature could result in internal resistance increase. Electrolyte consumption in aqueous systems (drying effect), separator physical property modifications, binder degradation, electrodes interface passivation, etc. 

The non-thermoplastic casein binder ensures processability in the wiping process by reducing sensitivity to heat and improving hot rub resistance. Useful top coats include a nitrocellulose lacquer or an aqueous system with a very hard and hence plating-fast polyurethane dispersion. If necessary, the latter can be crosslinked to improve the rubfastness. 

Almost all urethane materials are synthesized without the use of solvents or water as diluents or earners and are referred to as being 100% solids. This is true of all foams and elastomers. There are many products, however, which do utilize solvents or water, and these are known as solvent-borne and waterborne systems, respectively. In the past, many coatings, adhesives, and binders were formulated using a solvent to reduce viscosity and/or ease application. However, the use of volatile solvents has been dramatically curtailed in favor of more environmentally friendly water (see Section 4.1.3), and now there are many aqueous coatings, adhesives, and associated raw materials. Hydrophilic raw materials capable of being dispersed in water are called water reducible (or water dispersible), meaning they are sufficiently hydrophilic so as to be readily emulsified in water to form stable colloidal dispersions.
