Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0068304A1] The invention relates to a process for making core-shell polymer particles containing voids which comprises first emulsion polimerization of a core from a core monomer system comprised of at least one unsaturated monomer containing acid functionality optionally in the presence of seed latex, then encapsulating said core with a hard shell by emulsion polymerizing a shell monomer system containing at least a vinyl aromatic or/and unsaturated carboxylic ester in the presence of said core, and finally swelling at elevated temperature the resultant core-shell polymer particles with volatile base, shell monomers, a radical inhibitor and a non-ionic surfactant followed by polymerization of shell monomers charged at swelling stage to produce an aqueous dispersion of particles which, when dried contain a microvoid which causes opacity in compositions. The core-shell particles produced by the process described above are used in opaque and glossy coatings.
