Definitions

• This invention relates to ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable monomers which are particularly suitable for use as wet adhesion promoters and in the preparation of self- crosslinking polymers More specifically, the polymerizable monomers of the present invention are useful to promote adhesion in polymers and copolymers, and especially in aqueous emulsion copolymer latices which are used to prepare latex paints, as well as in the preparation of self-crosslinking polymers for coating systems
• wet adhesion is used in the paint industry to describe the ability of a paint to retain its adhesive bond to a substrate under wet or high humidity conditions While oil-based systems are known to retain their adhesive properties under wet or humid conditions, the tendency of many water based coatings (i.e., latices) to lose their adhesive properties when wet has limited the usefulness of such coatings.
• the wet adhesion deficiency of latex paints also makes surfaces painted with such paints less scrub resistant than those surfaces painted with organic solvent based paints See S M Kabanis and G Chip, “Polymer and Paint Properties Affecting Wet Adhesion," Journal of Coatings Technology. 53(682), 57-64 (November 1981 )
• Latex-containing surface coatings and coating compositions having superior wet adhesion properties may therefore be produced by including in the monomer system one or a mixture of these new functional monomers
• the monomers of this invention have been found to be especially useful in water-based latex-containing paints
• Self-crosslinking polymers are distinguished from crosslmkable polymers in that the latter contain functionality such as a carboxyl group which can only be crosslmkable by the addition of an external crosslinker to the polymer emulsion or solution
• a typical crosslmkable system is a poly(carboxyl functional) polymer crosslinked with a polyepoxy crosslinker
• self-crosslinking polymers contain reactive functionalities which allow these polymers to self-crosslink without the need for an external crosslmking agent.
• Certain self-crosslmkable polymerizable monomers are generally described, for example, in U.S Patents 4577031 , 4596850, 4622374 and 5235016, and EP-A-0629672, all of which are incorporated by reference herein for all purposes as if fuly set forth
• the advantages of the self-crosslinking polymer systems include their simplicity, economy, and particularly their efficiency.

• monomers which can be used to form self-crosslinking polymers which polymers can be employed either in solution or emulsion form, for example, as coatings, binders or adhesives
• Self-crosslinking properties can be imparted to latex-based polymers and coatings produced from such polymers by incorporating into the monomer system, from which the polymers are produced, one or more of the present invention's self- crosslmking monomers
