Improved latex composition employing specifically defined alcohol ethoxylate surfactant and hydrophobic defoaming agent

An improved latex composition is provided that has been found to exhibit a superior ability to form a substantially uniform polymeric film when applied to a substrate. The composition is capable of being handled and applied to a substrate in the absence of excessive foaming. The aqueous composition...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An improved latex composition is provided that has been found to exhibit a superior ability to form a substantially uniform polymeric film when applied to a substrate. The composition is capable of being handled and applied to a substrate in the absence of excessive foaming. The aqueous composition includes as essential components specified concentrations of a specifically-defined normally liquid predominantly hydrophobic nonionic ethylene oxide/propylene oxide block copolymer surfactant, and a solely hydrophobic defoaming agent (e.g., a hydrocarbon-based mineral oil). It is possible for the composition to be applied even to a hydrophobic substrate (e.g., a polyester film substrate). Compositions of the present invention, following application to a substrate and the volatilization of the water component, form a substantially uniform polymeric film that can serve as a coating or adhesive.
