Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012016869A1] The invention provides processes for preparing vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymers by means of free-radical initiated emulsion polymerization of vinyl acetate, ethylene and optionally one or more further comonomers in the presence of at least one protective colloid and optionally at least one emulsifier, characterized in that the vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymers contain 18 to 45% by weight of ethylene units, based on the total weight of the vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymers, and at least 70% by weight of ethylene units, based on the total weight of the ethylene units and of the further comonomer units of the vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymers, and the free-radical initiated emulsion polymerization is performed in the presence of A) 0.5 to 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the monomers used overall, of one or more solvents, or B) 0.1 to 20% by weight, based on the total weight of monomers used overall, of one or more solvents, and 0.5 to 4% by weight, based on the total weight of monomers used overall, of one or more anionic sulphosuccinic esters of the general formula R1O-CO-CH2-CH (SO3M) -CO-O-R1 (I) in which M is a cation, R1 is a linear or branched alkyl radical having 4 to 17 carbon atoms, an alkylene oxide group -(R2-O)n-X or a cation M, where R2 is a linear or branched alkylene unit having 2 to 5 carbon atoms, n is an integer from 2 to 20 and X is a linear or branched alkyl radical having 4 to 17 carbon atoms, where at most one R1 radical in the general formula (I) is a cation M.
