Abstract:
An aqueous adhesive composition having pH of about 8 to 10 containing from about 25 to 75% by weight of water, the water having dispersed therein: A. from about 25 to 75% by weight of the composition, of a water-insoluble linear polymer of interpolymerized monoethylenically unsaturated monomers in amounts by weight based on the linear polymer: (1) from about 50 to 99% of an acrylic ester monomer of the formula ##STR1## or a mixture thereof, where R is H or methyl and R. sup. 2 is lower alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, (2) from about 0. 1 to 10% of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, (3) from about 0. 1 to about 10% of a nitrogen containing monomer selected from the group consisting essentially of vinyl amines and salts thereof, vinyl ureido monomers, vinyl compounds having heterocyclic nitrogen containing groups, and mixtures thereof, and B. 0. 001 to 2% of a silane containing both alkoxy and epoxy functionalities.
