Abstract:
1. A hybrid latex polymer composition comprising one or more hydrophobic compounds, wherein the hydrophobic compounds are a solid or have a 50% distillation temperature of at least about 200° C. and one or more matrix polymer, wherein the hydrophobic compound is entrapped in the structure of the matrix polymer and wherein the hydrophobic compounds are added only after at least 40% of the matrix polymer is polymerized, wherein the hydrophobic compound is selected from the group consisting of silicones, silicone modified alkyds, low molecular weight polyethylene, low molecular weight polypropylene and paraffins, and wherein the matrix polymer is formed from one or more monomers selected from the group consisting of (meth)acrylates, styrenated monomers, vinyl esters, and other ethylenically unsaturated monomers.
