Poly(vinyl acetate) emulsions can be made with a surfactant alone or with a protective coUoid alone, but the usual practice is to use a combination of the two. Normally, up to 3 wt % stabilizers may be included in the recipe, but when water sensitivity or tack of the wet film is desired, as in some adhesives, more may be included. The most commonly used surfactants are the anionic sulfates and sulfonates, but cationic emulsifiers and nonionics are also suitable. Indeed, some emulsion compounding formulas require the use of cationic or nonionic surfactants for stable formulations. The most commonly used protective coUoids are poly(vinyl alcohol) and hydroxyethyl cellulose, but there are many others, natural and synthetic, which are usable if not preferable for a given appHcation. 

Emulsion polymerizations of vinyl acetate in the presence of ethylene oxide- or propylene oxide-based surfactants and protective coUoids also are characterized by the formation of graft copolymers of vinyl acetate on these materials. This was also observed in mixed systems of hydroxyethyl cellulose and nonylphenol ethoxylates. The oxyethylene chain groups supply the specific site of transfer (111). The concentration of insoluble (grafted) polymer decreases with increase in surfactant ratio, and (max) is observed at an ethoxylation degree of 8 (112). 

Commercial Disperse Azo Dyes. The first proposal to use insoluble dyes in suspension in an aqueous foam bath, ie, disperse dyes, to dye cellulose acetate was in 1921 (60). Commercialization of disperse dyes began in 1924 with the introduction of the Duranol dyes by British Dyestuffs Corporation (61) and the SRA dyes by British Celanese Company (62). In contrast to the acid monoazo dyes, derivatives of benzene rather than of naphthalene are of the greatest importance as coupling components. Among these components mono- and dialkylariifines (especially A/-P-hydroxyethyl-and A/-(3-acetoxyethylanifine derivatives) are widely used couplers. Nitrodiazobenzenes are widely used as diazo components. A typical example is CeUiton Scarlet B [2872-52-8] (91) (Cl Disperse Red 1 Cl 11110). 

Hydroxy-containing polymers such as poly(methyl-methacrylate-co-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) [65,66] or secondary cellulose acetate [67,68] were used for this purpose. Vanadium (V) 8-hydroxy quinoline-hydroxy-ethyl methacrylate adduct, prepared by condensation of the latter with a VOQ2OH complex, is polymerized to... 

Some part of the cellulose fraction is redirected to make cellulose derivatives, such as cellulose acetate, methyl and ethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, and hydroxypropyl cellulose. These derivatives find multiple applications, for instance, as additives in current products (e.g., paints, lacquers) of chemical industry. Typically, the preparation of cellulose derivatives takes place as a two-phase reaction cellulose is pretreated, for example, with alkali, and a reagent is added to get the substitution. Usually no catalyst is needed [5]. 

The stabilizing of aqueous latexes succeeded by using emulsifiers (anionic, nonionic) and/or their mixture, steric stabilizators (polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), hydroxyethyl cellulose, polyethylene glycol, new protective colloids etc.), and polymerizable surfaces active agents, in general. Vinyl acetate (VAc) emulsion homopolymers and copolymers (latexes) are widely used as binders in water-based interior and exterior architectural paints, coatings, and adhesives, since they have higher mechanical and water resistance properties than the homopolymers of both monomers [2, 4, 7].

Cellulose ethers, more particularly methyl cellulose (MQ, methylhydroxypro-pyl cellulose (MHPC) and hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) are used as protective colloids also called primary suspending agents in suspension polymerization for the manufacturing of S-PVC. Their role is maintaining the particle size of the resin. Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is preferred for manufacturing of vinyl acetate emulsion polymers and as a thickening agent in dispersimi paints.
