Abstract:
An aqueous composition comprising:a) from 2 to 25 weight % first polymer, based on weight of said aqueous composition, wherein said first polymer comprises as polymerized units: i) from 20 to 100 weight % of at least one C12 to C40 alkyl ester of (meth)acrylic acid, based on weight of said first polymer; ii) from 0 to 10 weight % of at least one ethylenically unsaturated acid or amide containing monomer or salts thereof, based on weight of said first polymer; and iii) from 0 to 80 weight % of at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer, based on weight of said first polymer; b) from 0.1 to 5 weight % of at least one wax, based on weight of said aqueous composition; c) from 1 to 20 weight % of at least one pigment, based on weight of said aqueous composition; and d) from 0 to 32 weight % of at least one second polymer, based on weight of said aqueous composition; wherein the sum of said first polymer and said second polymer is at least 10 weight %, based on weight of said aqueous composition; wherein the weight ratio of said first polymer to said second polymer is at least 1:4; and wherein said first polymer and said second polymer have a combined glass transition temperature in the range of âˆ’5 to 20Â° C.
