Abstract:
A binder composition, which comprises (A) a resin latex comprising binder resin particles dispersed in an aqueous phase, wherein an amount of emulsifier in the aqueous phase of the resin latex (A) is not larger than 0.01 mmole/g resin, and (B) a vinyl polymer having a reversibility of hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity at a certain transition temperature; whereby the binder composition has a thermoreversible thickening property and, when used to form a coated layer on a substrate, exhibits suppressed migration of the binder resin particles onto a surface of the coated layer; wherein said resin latex (A) is a latex of a polymer of a radically polymerizable monomer and is obtained by using an emulsifier having a radically polymerizable group.
