Description: IMPROVED COATINGS, SEALANTS, ADHESIVES AND ELASTOMERS UTILIZING POLYMER LATEXES DERIVED FROM UNSATURATED AMINE SALTS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Cross-reference This is a continuation-in-part of International Application PCT/US98/01492, filed January 28, 1998, which in turn is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 60/036,505, filed January 28, 1997. Field of the Invention: The present invention relates to improved coating, adhesive, sealant and elastomer (CASE) materials utilizing polymer latexes derived from various monomers and ethylenically unsaturated amine salts of sulfonic, phosphoric and/or carboxylic acids. More specifically, the invention relates to improved CASE materials produced using emulsion polymerization processes which utilize ethylenically unsaturated amine salts of alkylbenzene sulfonic acids, alkyl olefin sulfonic acids, alkyl alcohol sulfuric acid esters, or alkoxylated alkyl alcohol sulfuric acid esters, fatty acids, and fatty phosphate acid esters, or mixtures thereof. Description of the Related Art The emulsion polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers to form discrete solid polymeric particles for use in coating, adhesive, sealant, and/or elastomer (CASE) applications is well known to the art. Surfactants are commonly used materials in the manufacture of various CASE products, such as, for example paints, printing inks, adhesives and pressure-sensitive adhesives. These surfactants are often indispensable for the manufacture and/or stabilization of these products in terms of processability. However, after such CASE products are used for coating, printing, adhesion or pressure bonding, the surfactants are no longer necessary, nor desirable, because surfactant remaining in the CASE product tends to adversely affect the resistance of the CASE material to water and even oil in many instances. Surfactants for use in emulsion polymerization to form latexes, which are then used to prepare CASE materials, include traditional anionic surfactants, such as sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, and nonionic surfactants such as polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether. However, films of CASE materials using polymer latex emulsions prepared using such surfactants have the drawbacks of poor resistance to water and poor bond strength, typically because the surfactant remains in free form in the polymer latex film and/or final CASE material. CASE materials typically comprise, for example, paints (high-gloss, semi-gloss, and flat), caulks, and the like. CASE materials are typically applied to a variety of substrates, including for example, wood, metal, plastic, glass, ceramics, fiberglass, composite materials, cardboard, corrugated board, paper, textiles, non-woven materials, foam, tape or a combination thereof. Substrates can be virgin materials, i.e. materials that have not previously been treated or coated with a case material, or materials that have been previously coated or treated with a CASE material. Namely, the CASE materials of the instant invention can be applied on top of or applied to a previously applied CASE material. Conventional emulsion polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers employs one or more water-soluble surfactants to emulsify the monomers and stabilize the resulting polymer products, i.e., the latex. The monomers used in emulsion polymerization reactions are generally water-insoluble, but in some cases may be water- soluble. During a typical emulsion polymerization, a surfactant is used to suspend small portions of monomer in a continuous or semi-continuous aqueous phase. Typically, the monomer molecules are suspended as small spheres in the aqueous phase, and the polymerization takes place within the small spheres. The water-soluble surface active agents, i.e., surfactants, typically utilized in emulsion polymerization reactions are anionic, nonionic, and cationic surfactants or mixtures thereof. The polymeric particles formed by the emulsion polymerization process are typically utilized to prepare coating, adhesive, sealant, and/or elastomer (CASE) materials. In a traditional emulsion polymerization reaction, the surfactant does not chemically bond to the polymeric particles by carbon-carbon bond formation, but rather remains in the polymeric particle product solution after the emulsion polymerization reaction is complete, i.e., after all monomer is reacted. Unreacted surfactant can detrimentally affect a polymer product solution and/or film, because unreacted surfactant can interfere with the performance of such polymerization products in CASE materials, potentially causing the suspension of polymeric particles to become destabilized over time and undergo unwanted coagulation. Unreacted surfactant may cause unwanted peeling of a latex paint coating on a substrate, and decreased moisture and scrub resistance in other various CASE applications. Residual surfactant can cause an undesirable "blooming" that leads to surface irregularities in a resulting CASE material that is applied to a substrate. Additionally, residual surfactant may lead to undesirable decreases in adhesion of a particular CASE material. The traditional surfactants act as colloidal stabilizers before, during, and after polymerization, but they typically have a detrimental effect on the properties of a dry latex film, for example, due to their tendency to migrate, i.e., to leave their original positions at the latex particle surfaces and form areas of higher concentration pockets both within the film and at the film/air and film/substrate interfaces. Several proposals have been made in the prior art to employ a polymerizable surface active agent during an emulsion polymerization reaction. U.S. Pat. No. 5,478,883 (incorporated herein by reference in its entirety) describes the use of ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable water-soluble nonionic surfactants formed by the reaction of a diallylamine compound with ethylene oxide, propylene oxide or butylene oxide, in emulsion polymerization reactions. Similarly, U.S. Pat. No. 5,162,475 (incorporated herein by reference) provides alpha, beta- ethylenically unsaturated poly(alkylenoxy) polymerizable surface active compounds for use in emulsion polymerization. For additional examples of polymerizable surfactants for use in emulsion polymerization processes, see U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,377,185 and 4,049,608. Also see WO 89/12618, EP 747456 A2, and EP 770655 A2; all describing various approaches utilizing ethylenically unsaturated surfactant to produce CASE materials with reactive surfactants. Non-polymerizable surfactant techniques to overcome the traditional problems encountered in performing an emulsion polymerization process are numerous. U.S. Pat. No. 3,941,857 describes the use of epoxy resins that react with the residual anionic, cationic or nonionic surfactant. Polymerizable compounds such as allyl alcohol (and esters thereof) have been found to be ineffective due to the formation of undesirable high levels of coagulum in the final emulsion polymerization product. Additionally, see U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,224,455; 5,399,617; 4,075,411; 5,344,867; 5,296,627; 5,679,732, 5,536,811; 4,912,157; and 5,039,339; and WO 97/45495. Thus, there is a need for emulsion polymerization latexes comprising polymers and discrete polymeric particles that are well suited for use in CASE applications, as well as a need for processes to prepare such latexes. There is a specific need for CASE materials which comprise polymer latexes, wherein the final CASE materials possess low water sensitivity, improved scrub resistance and/or improved adhesion properties. Additionally, improved CASE materials with increased latex shear stability and lowered film yellowing tendencies are highly desirable. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to CASE materials prepared from latexes which are formed using a variety of monomers in combination with a novel group of compounds in the form of ethylenically unsaturated amine salts of sulfonic, phosphoric and/or carboxylic acids. These amine salts display surface activity, i.e., they are surfactants. It has been discovered that improved CASE materials can be prepared using latexes based on these compounds which function as reactive surfactants, i.e., surface active agents in polymerization processes, particularly emulsion polymerization processes. The CASE materials of the instant invention are based on surface active agents which are generally capable of co-polymerizing with other ethylenically unsaturated monomers of the type which are commonly employed in polymerization processes. The polymerizable surface active agents utilized in the present invention are prepared from readily available, economical raw materials, and their preparation generally does not require any special handling or equipment. These polymerizable surface active agents are particularly well suited for use in the formation of polymer particles which in turn may be used to prepare a variety of CASE materials. Surprisingly, these polymerizable surfactants contribute to improved properties in various CASE materials, such as for example, improved water sensitivity (i.e. they become more hydrophobic), improved scrub resistance, and improved adhesion. The polymerizable surfactants also contribute to improved latex product properties such as increased latex shear stability, lowered film yellowing tendencies, decreased paper discoloration, and improved wet strength in paper coatings. Examples of CASE materials of the instant invention include interior and exterior coatings, e.g., latex paints; container, paper and paperboard coating, e.g., can coatings; adhesives, such as water-born adhesives and pressure sensitive adhesives; sealants; industrial coatings; automotive coatings; textile coatings and binders; floor finishes; water- based inks; films; and binders for non-woven materials such as carpet backing. Accordingly, in one aspect the invention provides an improved method for forming CASE materials and/or polymers. This method utilizes the polymerizable surface active agents mentioned above. Generally, the improved method for preparing a CASE material comprises: a) preparing a mixture comprising: i) at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer; ii) at least one polymerizable, surface active agent wherein the polymerizable, surface active agent is an amine salt comprising: a) at least one acid, wherein the acid is a sulfonic acid, a carboxylic acid, or a phosphoric acid, or a mixture thereof; and b) at least one nitrogenous base, wherein the nitrogenous base contains at least one nitrogen atom and at least one ethylenically unsaturated moiety; and b) polymerizing the mixture to form a latex or mixture of polymer particles. In these methods, it is important that the polymerizable, surface active agent be capable of polymerization with the ethylenically unsaturated monomer or co- polymerization with a partially polymerized polymer particle. Somewhat preferably, the nitrogen atom is linked covalently, directly or indirectly, to the ethylenically unsaturated moiety of the nitrogenous base. The methods optionally comprise the addition of other ingredients as detailed herein to produce final CASE products. The polymers prepared utilizing the polymerizable surface active agents of the present invention may be used as the primary resin component or a minor resin component of a resin mixture. Such a resin mixture is suitable for preparing latex coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers, binders, inks, floor finishes and the like. The term "polymer" as used herein means a product produced by polymerizing two or more monomers, which may be the same or different. Additionally, the polymer may have incorporated into it surface active agent monomers and/or homopolymeric surface active agents. The various final CASE materials, compositions, applications and polymer products described herein may contain optional ingredients such as fillers, pigments, colorants, solvents, plasticizers, antioxidants, curing agents, thickeners, non-polymerizable surface active agents (surfactants), preservatives, wet strength additives, and the like. In another apsect, the present invention provides improved polymerization processes for forming polymers. In these processes, the surface active agent present and necessary for the polymerization reaction does not interfere with the quality of the CASE materials. In fact, in many instances, the quality of the CASE materials is improved by the use of the polymerizable surface active agent. Further, CASE materials formed using the polymers of the invention, after being applied to a substrate and allowed to dry under suitable conditions, remain uniform and stable over time and/or with exposure to moisture at ambient or elevated temperature. Thus, the present invention provides polymers suitable for use in coating, adhesive, sealant and/or elastomer (CASE) materials. In another aspect, the invention encompasses substrates carrying at least one layer of a CASE material. The polymers may be provided in a variety of forms, such as, for example, solids, flakes, powders, semi-solids, thick pastes, flowable/pumpable pastes (i.e. G-phase pastes), liquids, gels, "ringing" gels, dilute or concentrated solutions and the like. The polymers may be spray dried, freeze-dried, flaked, extruded, or the like. In yet another aspect, the invention provides homopolymeric surface active agents comprising polymerized, polymerizable surface active agents or blends of two or more polymerizable surface active agents. These homopolymeric surface active agents are useful in the polymerization processes and CASE materials detailed herein. In a related aspect, the present invention further provides homopolymeric surface active agent/polymerizable surface active agent blends comprising partially polymerized, polymerizable surface active agents and non-polymerized, polymerizable surface active agents. These homopolymeric/polymerizable surface active agent blends are also useful in the polymerization processes and CASE materials detailed herein. The improved polymerization processes for forming CASE materials preferably do not require the use of a surfactant that contains residual formaldehyde or other low molecular weight volatile organic compounds. However, while not usually desirable, low molecular weight volatile organic compounds, solvents and/or residual formaldehyde may be present in the polymerization products of the present invention. The polymerization processes of the present invention provide latexes useful in preparing CASE materials with improved shear stability, improved pH stability, improved shelf storage stability and improved ease of viscosity modification. In the processes of the invention, the polymerizable surface active agent may be added to the emulsion polymerization mixture in a batch mode (i.e., all at once), a continuous mode (i.e., by addition of an amount of the polymerizable surface active agent throughout the polymerization), or in a semi -continuous mode (i.e. addition of portions of the polymerizable surface active agent at various times during the polymerization). The polymerizable surface active agent may be prepared in situ in the emulsion polymerization mixture by adding an ethylenically unsaturated amine, such as allyl amine, to the mixture, followed by concurrent or step-wise addition of a traditional surface active agent, wherein the polymerizable surface active agent is formed in the mixture by ion exchange of the traditional surfactant and the ethylenically unsaturated amine salt. The polymerizable surface active agents utilized in the present invention are generally formed by combining at least one acid, wherein the acid is a sulfonic acid, a carboxylic acid, or a phosphoric acid, or a mixture thereof, with a nitrogenous base, wherein the nitrogenous base contains at least one nitrogen atom and at least one ethylenically unsaturated moiety. The polymerizable surface active agents of the present invention are preferably in the form of amine salts. The surface active agents of the present invention may be prepared from readily available, economical raw materials, and generally, their preparation does not require any special handling or equipment. The polymerizable surface active agents may be prepared in a batch mode or a continuous mode; they may be prepared by contacting the ethylenically unsaturated amine with the acid or contacting the acid with the ethylenically unsaturated amine. By contacting it is meant that the acid(s) is added to the ethylenically unsaturated amine(s) and the components are mixed, or the ethylenically unsaturated amine(s) is added to the acid(s) and the components are mixed. Typically, upon mixing, the acid and the base combine to form an amine salt. As known by one skilled in the art, upon mixing the acid and nitrogenous base together, the nitrogenous base becomes a conjugate acid and the acid becomes a conjugate base. The polymerizable surface active agents may alternatively be prepared by contacting the ethylenically unsaturated amine with an alkaline earth or ammonium salt of the acid (e.g., the sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, ammonium, or ethoxylated ammonium salts of the acid), whereby the polymerizable surface active agent is formed in situ, either in the presence or absence of monomer. The polymerizable surface active agents and blends of these surface active agents may be prepared in a variety of forms, including but not limited to, liquids, solutions, solids, powders, flakes, semi-solids, gels, "ringing" gels, G-phase liquids, hexagonal phase solids, or thick pastes. The surface active agents may be spray dried, flaked, extruded, and the like. Although not critical to the present invention, the polymerizable, surface active agents may be prepared "neat" or in a conventional solvent such as water, low molecular weight alcohol or hydrocarbon, or a mixture thereof, to produce a solution of the surface active agent. The present invention encompasses surface active agents as salts in dry form and as aqueous solutions. Salts of the surface active agents may be isolated by drying a solution of the surface active agents. Conversely, a solution of a surface active agent may be prepared by dissolving the salt of the surface active agent in a suitable solvent, e.g., water, a low molecular weight alcohol or a hydrocarbon, or a mixture thereof. Individual polymerizable surface active agents of the present invention may be prepared and mixed together to produce a surface active mixture comprising "neat" surface active agents or an aqueous surfactant blend. Additionally, neat or aqueous blends of the surface active agents may be prepared by contacting a blend of two or more ethylenically unsaturated amines with one acid, or by contacting a blend of two or more ethylenically unsaturated amines with a blend of 2 or more acids. Conversely, blends of the surface active agents may be prepared by contacting a blend of two or more acids with one ethylenically unsaturated amine, or by contacting a blend of two or more acids with a blend of two or more ethylenically unsaturated amines. The polymerizable surface active agents useful in the present invention to form latexes, which are then used in a CASE material such as a paint, printing inks, adhesives or pressure- sensitive adhesives, generally act as surfactants in the course of manufacture, storage or even processing thereof, but then cease to function as surfactants in due course thereafter. Furthermore, the polymerizable surfactants of the invention can be used not only as emulsifiers for emulsion polymerizations, but also as dispersing agents for suspension polymerization, dispersing agents for dyes and pigments, emulsifiers for waxes, finishing agents for fibers, emulsifier-dispersants for agrochemicals, antistatic agents for synthetic resins, and so on. In these and other applications, the aforementioned adverse effect of a residual traditional surfactant can be drastically reduced and/or eliminated. These and other objects and advantages, as well as the scope, nature, and utilization of the claimed invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description and claims. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Methods are provided for forming discrete polymer particles and/or latexes with polymerizable surface active agents. The resulting particles and latexes are useful in preparing CASE materials. The methods for forming the particles and/or latexes comprise: (1) preparing a mixture comprising at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer and at least one polymerizable surface active agent; and (2) polymerizing the mixture to form discrete polymer particles or a latex. The resulting particles and/or latexes can then be formulated into a CASE material. Typically, the formulation of the CASE material requires various optional components. Representative optional components are discussed in more detail below. These optional components are normally added before, during, or preferably after the formation of the polymer particles or latex. Generally, any ethylenically unsaturated monomer that is capable of undergoing polymerization may be utilized in the invention. The methods of the invention are particularly well suited to emulsion polymerization but may also be conducted as solution polymerizations, suspension polymerizations, microemulsion polymerizations or inverse emulsion polymerizations. The polymerization may be conducted in any manner known to the art, including but not limited to, free-radical initiated polymerization, thermally initiated polymerization and redox initiated polymerization using, for example, batch, continuous, or controlled monomer feed processes, known conditions of stirring time and temperature, and known kinds of additives such as initiators, surfactants, electrolytes, pH adjusting agents, buffering agents, protective colloids and the like. In general, the polymerization processes of the invention are carried out at from about 20°C to about 120° C (i.e., between about 50°C and about 110°C). The polymerization temperature selected will vary, depending on the reactivity and concentration of the polymerization initiator and monomer(s) being used. Batch polymerization times may vary depending on the method of polymerization and the monomer(s) being polymerized. Such times may vary from about 10 minutes to about 10 hours. In general, the polymerization mixture may be a solution, emulsion, suspension or dispersion of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer and the polymerizable surface active agent. Further, the polymerizable surface active agent may be provided to the mixture as a solution in water, low molecular weight alcohol, hydrocarbon, or mixtures thereof. In accordance with the present invention, polymerization may occur simultaneously as the mixture is being formed (i.e. as the monomer and the polymerizable surface active agent come in contact, a self-initiating polymerization occurs). Accordingly, the present invention also encompasses a method for continuous polymerization utilizing at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer and at least one polymerizable surface active agent. The polymerizable, surface active agents utilized in the present invention are preferably amine salts or quaternary nitrogen compounds comprising: a) at least one acid, wherein the acid is a sulfonic acid, a carboxylic acid, or a phosphoric acid, or a mixture thereof; and b) at least one nitrogenous base, wherein the nitrogenous base contains at least one nitrogen atom and at least one ethylenically unsaturated moiety. The polymerizable surface active agents are generally capable of polymerizing with themselves, co-polymerizing with the ethylenically unsaturated monomer, or are capable of co-polymerizing with a partially polymerized polymer particle. In a somewhat preferred embodiment, the polymerizable surface active agent is partially (i.e. 1-50 percent by weight of the polymerizable surface active agent) consumed by polymerization with itself, co-polymerization with the monomer, and/or co-polymerization with a partially polymerized polymer particle. In a more preferred embodiment, the polymerizable, surface active agent is substantially (i.e. 50-90 percent by weight of the polymerizable surface active agent) consumed by polymerization with itself, co-polymerization with the monomer, and/or co-polymerization with a partially polymerized polymer particle. In a most prefeπed embodiment, the polymerizable, surface active agent is substantially completely (i.e. greater than 90 percent by weight of the polymerizable surface active agent) consumed by polymerization with itself, co-polymerization with the monomer, and/or co-polymerization with a partially polymerized polymer particle. The polymerizable surface active agent and the ethylenically unsaturated monomer are in a ratio of about 0.01 :1 to about 3:1 on a weight basis prior to polymerization. In a prefeπed embodiment, the polymerizable surface active agent is present in the prepolymerization mixture (i.e. an unpolymerized mixture of monomer, reactive surfactant and any initiator) in a concentration of about 1-100 weight percent, based on the total weight of the ethylenically unsaturated monomer present in the mixture. In a more prefeπed embodiment, the polymerizable surface active agent is present in the mixture in a concentration of about 1-20 weight percent, based on the total weight of the ethylenically unsaturated monomer present in the mixture. In another embodiment, the polymerizable surface active agent comprises about 0.1-10, more preferably 0.5-3.0, weight percent of the polymer based on the total weight of the ethylenically unsaturated monomer present prior to polymerization. In general, the method of preparing polymers and CASE materials of the invention does not require the use of a non-polymerizable surfactant, i.e. the materials are substantially free of non-polymerizable, surface active agents. However, in a less prefeπed embodiment, the materials may further comprise a supplemental, non- polymerizable surfactant, wherein the supplemental surfactant is a sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, amine, or ammonium salt, or mixture thereof, of a substantially saturated anionic surfactant, or a nonionic, cationic, or amphoteric surfactant, or mixtures thereof; and wherein the supplemental surfactant is provided in a concentration of about 0.01 to about 20.0 percent by weight, based on the total weight of polymerizable surface active agent and supplemental surfactant provided in the reaction zone. The present invention provides pre-polymerization mixtures, useful in the preparation of CASE materials, comprising (1) at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer; and (2) at least one polymerizable surface active agent; wherein the ethylenically unsaturated monomer and the polymerizable surface active agent are defined as above or below. This pre-polymerization mixture may be polymerized by a variety of initiation methods known in the art. The present invention provides polymers useful in preparing CASE materials comprising: (1) at least one monomer unit; and (2) at least one surface active agent unit. In these polymers, the monomer unit is derived from an ethylenically unsaturated monomer and the surface active agent is derived from a polymerizable surface active agent. Further, these polymers are co-polymers produced by the polymerization of the ethylenically unsaturated monomer and the polymerizable surface active agent. In another embodiment, the present invention provides methods for forming CASE materials. This method comprises (1) preparing a mixture comprising (a) at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer, (b) at least one acid, wherein the acid is a sulfonic acid, a carboxylic acid, or a phosphoric acid, or a mixture thereof, and (c) at least one nitrogenous base, wherein the nitrogenous base contains at least one nitrogen atom and at least one ethylenically unsaturated moiety; (2) polymerizing the mixture to form discrete polymer particles or a latex; and (3) formulating the polymer particles or latex into a CASE material. Typically, the formulating step involves the addition of various optional ingredients as discussed in more detail below to produce a final CASE product. In this embodiment, the acid and the nitrogenous base may form a polymerizable, surface active agent in situ. In this situation, the polymerizable, surface active agent formed (1) is an amine salt capable of polymerization with itself, co-polymerization with the ethylenically unsaturated monomer, and/or co-polymerization with a partially polymerized polymer particle; and (2) is substantially completely consumed by polymerization with itself, polymerization with the monomer, and/or co-polymerization with a partially polymerized polymer particle. In one alternative, the nitrogenous base may partially or completely co- polymerize with the ethylenically unsaturated monomer, followed by formation of a surface active agent (i.e., complexation/salt formation with the acid). Without being bound by any particular theory, it is believed that the nitrogenous base is incorporated into the polymer backbone and the acid forms an ion pair, i.e. a salt, with the nitrogen atom of the nitrogenous base, thereby adhering to the polymer and forming a positively charged nitrogen atom. In another alternative within the purview of this embodiment, a portion of the nitrogenous base may polymerize with itself, co-polymerize with the ethylenically unsaturated monomer, or co-polymerize with a partially polymerized polymer, followed by complexation/salt formation with the acid. In another alternative, the nitrogenous base may partially or completely co-polymerize with a homopolymeric surfactant, followed by complexation/salt formation with the acid. The present invention also provides CASE materials comprising: (1) at least one monomer unit; and (2) at least one acid, wherein the acid is a sulfonic acid, a carboxylic acid, a phosphoric acid, or a mixture thereof; and at least one nitrogenous base, wherein the nitrogenous base contains at least one nitrogen atom and at least one ethylenically unsaturated moiety; wherein the monomer unit is derived from an ethylenically unsaturated monomer; wherein the nitrogenous base is homopolymerized, co-polymerized with the monomer, and/or polymerized with a partially polymerized polymer; and wherein the acid complexes to the nitrogen atom(s), to form an amine salt-containing polymer. In another embodiment, the present invention provides methods for forming CASE materials wherein the method comprises: (1) preparing a mixture comprising at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer and at least one homopolymeric surface active agent, the homopolymeric surface active agent being a polymer formed by polymerizing at least one polymerizable, surface active agent; wherein the polymerizable, surface active agent is an amine salt or quaternary nitrogen compound comprising at least one acid, wherein the acid is a sulfonic acid, a carboxylic acid, or a phosphoric acid, or a mixture thereof, and at least one nitrogenous base, wherein the nitrogenous base contains at least one nitrogen atom and at least one ethylenically unsaturated moiety; (2) polymerizing the mixture to form discrete polymer particles or a latex; and (3) formulating the polymer particles or latex into a CASE material. Typically, the formulating step involves the addition of various optional ingredients as detailed herein, to produce a final CASE product. The present invention relates to CASE materials comprising polymer latexes, wherein the polymer latex is based on polymers derived from at least one monomer and at least one polymerizable surface active agent as defined herein. The present invention also provides homopolymeric surface active agents. These homopolymeric surface active agents are formed by polymerizing at least one polymerizable, surface active agent, wherein the polymerizable, surface active agent is an amine salt or quaternary nitrogen compound comprising at least one acid, wherein the acid is a sulfonic acid, a carboxylic acid, or a phosphoric acid, or a mixture thereof; and at least one nitrogenous base, wherein the nitrogenous base contains at least one nitrogen atom and at least one ethylenically unsaturated moiety. Optionally, the homopolymeric surface active agents may be formed by partially or completely polymerizing the nitrogenous base, followed by complexation of the resulting polymer with the acid, wherein the acid complexes to the nitrogen atom(s), to form an amine salt- or a quaternary nitrogen- containing homopolymeric surface active agent. The homopolymeric surface active agents of the invention are generally capable of polymerization with themselves, co-polymerization with the monomer, or co- polymerization with a partially polymerized polymer. In another embodiment, the present invention provides methods for preparing CASE materials, wherein the method comprises: (1) partially polymerizing at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer to form a partially polymerized polymer/monomer mixture; (2) adding to the partially polymerized polymer/monomer mixture at least one polymerizable surface active agent and/or at least one homopolymeric surface active agent, to form a partially polymerized polymer/monomer/surface active agent mixture; (3) polymerizing the partially polymerized polymer/monomer/surface active agent mixture to form discrete polymer particles or a latex; and (4) formulating the polymer particles or latex into a CASE material; wherein the homopolymeric surface active agent is a polymer formed by polymerizing at least one polymerizable, surface active agent; wherein the polymerizable, surface active agent is an amine salt or quaternary nitrogen compound comprising at least one acid, wherein the acid is a sulfonic acid, a carboxylic acid, or a phosphoric acid, or a mixture thereof, and at least one nitrogenous base, wherein the nitrogenous base contains at least one nitrogen atom and at least one ethylenically unsaturated moiety.

The polymer latex comprises a) at least one monomer unit; and b) at least one surface active agent unit; wherein the monomer unit is derived from an ethylenically unsaturated monomer; the surface active agent is derived from a polymerizable surface active agent in the form of an amine salt comprising: i) at least one acid, wherein the acid is a sulfonic acid, a sulfuric acid ester, a carboxylic acid, or a phosphoric acid, or a mixture thereof; and ii) at least one nitrogenous base, wherein the nitrogenous base contains at least one nitrogen atom and at least one ethylenically unsaturated moiety; and wherein the ethylenically unsaturated monomer and the polymerizable surface active agent have polymerized to form the polymer. The monomers, acids, and nitrogenous bases may generally be any of those described herein. The evaporable medium may contain, in addition to water, at least one water-miscible solvent such as, for example, isopropanol, propylene glycol, ethylene glycol methyl ether, ethylene glycol butyl ether, or propylene glycol propyl ether. The evaporable medium may also optionally contain a water-immiscible solvent such as Texanol or butyl carbitol and the like. The waterborne coating compositions contain from about 0.5% to about 70%, by volume based on the volume of the coating composition, of at least one optional pigment. The pigment is selected from inorganic and organic pigments such as, for example, titanium dioxide, calcium carbonate, polystyrene particles, and void-containing polymeric particles on the basis of color and opacity. Included in the term "pigment" herein are inorganic pigments sometimes refeπed to as fillers such as, for example, clay. A prefeπed predominant pigment is titanium dioxide. The polymer latex of the waterborne coating may also be prepared by a multi-stage emulsion addition polymerization process, in which at least two stages differing in composition are polymerized in sequential fashion. Such a process usually results in the formation of at least two mutually incompatible polymer compositions, thereby resulting in the formation of at least two phases within the polymer particles. Such particles are composed of two or more phases of various geometries such as, for example, core/shell or core/sheath particles, core/shell particles with shell phases incompletely encapsulating the core, core/shell particles with a multiplicity of cores, and interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) particles. In all of these cases the majority of the surface area of the particle will be occupied by at least one outer phase and the interior of the particle will be occupied by at least on inner phase. Each of the stages of the multi-staged emulsion-polymerized polymer may contain the same monomers, polymerizable surface active agents, chain transfer agents, etc. as disclosed herein.. The emulsion polymerization techniques used to prepare such dispersions are well known in the art such as, for example, US Patents No. 4,325,856; 4,654,397; and 4,814,373. The waterborne coating composition is prepared by any of a variety of techniques well known in the coatings art. First, for example, at least one pigment is well dispersed in a waterborne medium under high shear such as is afforded by a COWLES® mixer. Then the emulsion-polymerized addition polymer is added under low shear stirring along with other coatings adjuvants as desired. The waterborne coating composition may contain, in addition to the pigment(s) and the latex polymer, conventional coatings adjuvants such as, for example, emulsifiers, coalescing agents, curing agents, thickeners, humectants, wetting agents, biocides, plasticizers, antifoaming agents, colorants, waxes, and antioxidants. The waterborne coating composition may be applied to a surface such as, for example, metal, wood, or plastic, using conventional coating application methods such as, for example, brush, roller, drawdown, dipping, curtain coater, and spraying methods such as, for example, air-assisted spray, airless spray, high volume low pressure spray, and air- assisted electrostatic spray. The invention additionally encompasses paint compositions, caulk compositions, adhesive compositions and sealant compositions, and methods of preparing such compositions. A latex paint composition of the invention comprises water; a hydroxylated solvent, or a mixture of hydroxylated solvents; a dispersant; a thickener/rheology modifier; a pigment or mixture of pigments; a latex or mixture of latexes; and a defoaming agent. A latex caulk composition of the invention comprises a hydroxylated solvent, or a mixture of hydroxylated solvents; a plasticizer; a thickener/rheology modifier; a hydrocarbon; a latex or mixture of latexes; a fumed silica; and optionally a pigment or mixture of pigments. A latex adhesive composition of the invention comprises water; a surfactant; a latex or mixture of latexes; and optionally a pH basic neutralizing agent.

In a prefeπed embodiment of the present invention, the polymerization process is conducted in the absence of any non-polymerizable, supplemental surfactant, as the polymerizable surface active agents of the present invention display excellent capacity for producing emulsion stability characteristics in an emulsion polymerization. In another embodiment of the present invention, the polymerizable surface active agents of the present invention may be used as co-monomers with the ethylenically unsaturated monomer(s) to modify the physical properties of the resulting polymer. In this embodiment, supplemental surface active agents also may be used as additives to the polymerization, e.g., in amounts of from about 3 to 6 weight percent, based on the total weight of monomer. Although somewhat less prefeπed, in a further embodiment of the present invention, any conventional organic solvent, which may be a solvent for both the monomer(s) and/or polymer, or just the monomer(s) may be used. Initiators and Additives Organic or inorganic initiators may be used to initiate the polymerization reaction. A sufficient quantity of a polymerization initiator (such as a conventional free radical initiator) is typically introduced into the polymerization medium to cause polymerization of the monomer(s) at the particular temperatures employed. Initiators used in polymeriza- tion processes may be of the type which produce free radicals and conveniently are peroxygen compounds, for example: inorganic peroxides such as hydrogen peroxide and inorganic persulfate compounds such as ammonium persulfate, sodium persulfate and potassium persulfate; organic hydroperoxides such as cumene hydroperoxide and tertiary butyl hydroperoxide; organic peroxides such as benzoyl peroxide, acetyl peroxide, lauroyl peroxide, peroxydicarbonate esters such as diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate, peracetic acid and perbenzoic acid, sometimes activated by water-soluble reducing agents such as feπous compounds, sodium bisulfite or hydroxylamine hydrochloride, and other free radical producing materials such as 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile.

CASE MATERIALS-GENERAL DESCRIPTIONS AND COMPONENTS Coatings and Paints Paints are typically liquids which are useful for application to a substrate, such as wood, metal, plastic, glass, ceramics, fiberglass, composite materials, cardboard, corrugated board, paper, textiles, non-woven materials, foam, tape or a combination thereof, in a thin layer. Paints are typically used to protect the surface of the substrate from elemental damage and/or physical damage. Paints are also commonly used for decoration and aesthetic purposes. Paints find very broad commercial use and also find a variety of uses in the home. Paints, their formulations, ingredients, additives and processing conditions are generally those described in Kirk-Othmer-Paint; pg. 1049-1069, Vol. 17; 1996, by Arthur A. Leman, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety. Typically, paints are described as latex, alkyd, or oil-based paints. Additionally, a wide variety of paints are water-based. These designations identify the binder used in the manufacture of the paint and the solvent, if any, which is used. Typical classes of latex paints include gloss, semi-gloss, flat, and satin. These terms describe the shininess of the paint surface after the paint has dried on the substrate. Paints typically contain binders/resins such as latex emulsions. A common latex emulsion employed in paints is based on acrylic and vinyl acetate. Paints often include pigments (organic and inorganic), inorganic extenders, filler pigments, solvents, and additives, such as thickeners, biocides, driers, pigment dispersants, pigment extenders, adhesion promoters, surfactants, and defoamers. When paints are manufactured, surface active agents are used to stabilize the emulsion polymerization and to regulate the resulting polymer particle size. The aforementioned monomers may be utilized to prepare latexes useful in coatings and paints of the instant invention. Typically the monomers are selected to give an acrylic latex emulsion, for durable exterior paint. These monomers are preferably methyl methacrylate, butyl acrylate, and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, and mixtures thereof. Non- acrylic based monomers are typically used for interior paints, except in the cases of gloss and semi-gloss paints. Among other monomers, vinyl acetate, butyl acrylate, and mixtures thereof, are commonly used in a variety of paint formulations. Alkyd resins are produced by reaction of a polybasic acid, such as phthalic or maleic anhydride, with a polyhydric alcohol, such as glycerol, pentaerythitol, or glycol, in the presence of an oil or fatty acid. Alkyd resins are described as long-oil, medium-oil, and short-oil alkyds. Such description is based on the amount of oils and/or fatty acids in the resins. Long-oil alkyds generally have an oil content of 60% or more; short-oil alkyds, less than 45%; and medium-oil alkyds have an oil content in between the two. The short- and medium-oil alkyds are based on semidrying and nondrying oils, whereas long-oil alkyds are based on semidrying and drying oils. Typical pigment extenders used in paints include, for example, titanium dioxide, calcium carbonate, talc, clay, silica, zinc oxide, feldspar, coπosion resistance extenders, mildew resistance extenders, and film-hardening extenders, and mixtures thereof. Solvents typically used in paints included, for example, mineral spirits, glycol ethers (e.g. ethylene glycol and propylene glycol) and the like. In addition to binders, solvents, pigments, and extenders, many paints contain additives. Additives include, for example, thickeners, pigment dispersants, surfactants, defoamers, biocides, mildewcides, preservatives, driers, defoamers, antiskinning agents and pH adjusting agents and mixtures thereof (e.g. acids and bases). Additional additives include hydroxyethylcellulose, hydrophobically modified alkali-soluble emulsions, and hydrophobically modified ethylene oxide urethanes. Methods and compositions or components suitable for preparing and evaluating paints are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,399,617, 4,075,41 1, and 5,344,867, the disclosure of each of which is incorporated herein in its entirety. Adhesives and Sealants Sealants have been generally described in Kirk-Othmer-Sealants; pg. 650-666; Vol. 21 ; 1997, by Richard Palmer and Jerome Kloswski, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety. A sealant is a material that is installed into a gap or joint to prevent water, wind, dirt, or other contaminants from passing through the joint or gap. Sealants, which can also be defined by how they are tested, are rated by their ability to stretch, twist, bend, and be compressed while maintaining their bulk properties so they do not tear apart under stress. The adhesion required of a sealant is simply the strength to hold the sealant in position as it is stressed and strained. Adhesives are used to transfer loads and are typically designed with much higher tensile and shear strengths than sealants. The most important rating of an adhesive in many applications is the determination of how much load it can handle. Some sealants are used as adhesives and some adhesives as sealants and thus arises the occasional blurring of their roles. If the material's primary function is the exclusion of wind, water, dirt, etc., it is a sealant. Sealants include high performance sealants, such as for example, silicones, urethanes, and polysulfides, medium performance sealants, such as for example, acrylic sealants, and low performance sealants, such as for example, butyls, putties, and caulks. The measure of the stress of a sealant at a specific strain is refeπed to as the modulus of elasticity, sometimes called the secant modulus. This important sealant property describes the force exerted by a sealant as it is stressed. Because a primary function of sealants is to adhere to the substrates it is in contact with, the force generated by a joint opening or closing are transmitted by the sealant to the substrate-sealant bond line. A primary factor in sealant durability is its ability to resist decay from environmental elements. For most typical applications this includes extremes of high and low temperature, water, oxidation, and sunlight. Other factors include weatherability and adhesion life. One of the more destructive elements is exposure to sunlight, and specifically to ultraviolet (UV) light. All sealants are affected by weathering but there is much difference in the effect of weathering on different sealants. A second key factor in determining the durability of a sealant is the ability of the sealant to adhere to the substrate through its lifetime. A sealant may have excellent resistance to UV effects, but if it has poor adhesion performance and fails adhesively, it is of little use. Commercially available silicone sealants are typically one of three curing types: moisture-reactive (curing) sealants, moisture-releasing (latex) sealants, and addition-curing sealants. The formulation of moisture-curing silicones includes a silicone polymer, filler, a moisture-reactive cross linker, and sometimes a catalyst. A newer class of silicone sealants are known as the silicone latex sealants. These sealants are silicone-in-water emulsions that cure by evaporation of the emulsifying water. The silicone latex polymer is prepared by first emulsifying a low molecular weight silicone polymer in water and then polymerizing it to the desired molecular weight. Inherent to emulsion polymerization is the ability to produce high molecular weight polymers at a low emulsion viscosity. Next, a silicone cross-linker is added with a condensation catalyst. The cross-linker, the structure of which is similar to those described previously, must diffuse through the water phase and into the siloxane phase where it can react with the silicone polymer. Addition- curing silicones in general are two-part systems that cure by the platinum-catalyzed reaction of a silicon hydride with typically a vinyl group attached to silicon. The basis for urethane chemistry is the reaction of an isocyanate group with a component containing an active hydrogen. The first step in formulating a urethane sealant is to prepare what is commonly called the prepolymer, typically by reaction of a hydroxy-terminated polyether with a stoichiometric amount of diisocyanate. Polysulfide sealants were the first high performance synthetic elastomeric sealants produced in the United States. The basic polymers are mercaptan-terminated (HS-R-SH), with molecular weights ranging from 1000 to ca 8000. There are two principal classes of acrylic sealants: latex acrylics and solvent- release acrylics. High molecular weight latex acrylic polymers are prepared by emulsion polymerization of alkyl esters of acrylic acid. Monomer, water, surfactants, and an initiator are mixed and polymerized until the acrylic monomer is depleted. Two types of monomers are used to vary polymer properties. High T g monomers such as methyl methacrylate and vinyl chloride improve durability and hydrophobicity, whereas polar- functional monomers such as hydroxyethyl acrylate are used to improve adhesion. The maximum level of solids for the latex polymer is approximately 60%. In typical formulations, above this level the viscosity increases rapidly and the emulsion stability is poor. In relatively low solids (high water) content formulations, rather severe shrinkage occurs during cure. This can introduce stress and may be one of the reasons most latex acrylics are of lower performance and lower movement ability. The surfactants used are of special concern to sealant formulation because they can interfere with adhesion if improperly used. One approach to solve this problem is in corporate the surfactant into the polymer backbone during polymerization. This approach, which places the surfactant in an ideal location to stabilize the emulsion, does not allow the surfactant to migrate through the aqueous phase and interfere with adhesion because the surfactant is connected to the backbone. The emulsion polymers are compounded into sealants by adding fillers, plasticizers, freeze-thaw stabilizers, thickeners, and adhesion promoters. As is true of the silicone sealants, the acrylic sealants are easy to apply and clean with water. Another class of acrylic sealants are the solvent-releasing acrylics. Acrylic monomers are polymerized in a solvent. The molecular weight of the polymer is lower than in the latex acrylics because of the inherently higher viscosity of the medium. However, the percentage of solids is approximately 80% vs. the 60% solids common to latex acrylics. The natural adhesion of most of the solvent-releasing acrylics produces some of the best unprimed adhesion in the sealant industry. However, slow, continual cure generally produces large compression sets and limits their use to low movement application. Also, the relatively high amounts of solvent and traces of acrylic monomer in these functions limits their use to outdoor applications, usually in construction. A typical one-part pigmented siliconized acrylic latex sealant will contain acrylic latex polymer (polymer and water), and optional ingredients selected from calcium carbonate, plasticizers, mineral spirits, propylene glycol, titanium dioxide, ammonium hydroxide, preservatives, surfactants, inorganic dispersants, organic dispersants, defoamers, associative thickener, and silane adhesion promoters, and mixtures thereof. A typical one-part clear acrylic latex sealant formulation will contain acrylic latex polymer (polymer and water), and optional ingredients selected from plasticizers, fumed silica, surfactants, amino silanes, ammonium hydroxides, and mixtures thereof. Almost all sealants comprise a mixture of a powdered filler incorporated into a viscous liquid, which results in a viscous sealant having a paste-like consistency. Adhesives have been generally described in Kirk-Othmer-Adhesives; pg. 445-466; Vol. 1 ; 1991, by Aldophus Pocius, the disclsoure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety. An adhesive is a material capable of holding together solid materials by means of surface attachment. Adhesion is the physical attraction of the surface of one material for the surface of another. An adherend is the solid material to which the adhesive adheres and the adhesive bond or adhesive joint is the assembly made by joining adherends together by means of an adhesive. Practical adhesion is the physical strength of an adhesive bond. It primarily depends on the forces of the adhesive and the adherend, as well as the engineering of the adhesive bond. The interphase is the volume of materials in which the properties of one substance gradually change into the properties of another. The interphase is useful for describing the properties of an adhesive bond. The interface, contained within the interphase, is the plane of contact between the surface of one material and the surface of another. Except in certain special cases, the interface is imaginary. It is useful in describing surface energetics. Adhesive properties are often tested using various peel tests. In the simplest peel test, the T-peel test, the adherends are identical in size, shape, and thickness. Adherends are attached at their ends to a tensile testing machine and then separated in a "T" fashion. The temperature of the test, as well as the rate of adherend separation, is specified. The force required to open the adhesive bond is measured and the results are reported in terms of Newtons per meter (pounds per inch, ppi). There are many other peel test configurations, each dependent upon the adhesive application. Such tests are well described in the ASTM literature. A structural adhesive is a resin system, usually a thermoset, that is used to bond high strength materials in such a way that the bonded joint is able to bear a load in excess of 6.9 MPa (1,000 psi) at room temperature. Structural adhesives are the strongest form of adhesive and are meant to hold loads permanently. They exist in a number of forms. The most common form is the two-part adhesive, widely available as a consumer product. The next most familiar is that which is obtained as a room temperature curing liquid. Less common are primer-liquid adhesive combinations which cure at room temperature. A pressure-sensitive adhesive, a material which adheres with no more than applied finger pressure, is aggressively and permanently tacky. It requires no activation other than the finger pressure, exerts a strong holding force, and should be removable from a smooth surface without leaving a residue. Pressure-sensitive adhesives are most widely used in the form of adhesive tapes. These tapes are used for an extraordinary number of applications: masking, medical application, electrical insulation, assembly, packaging, and other application. The application governs the choice of tape backing and the adhesive formulation. A transparent backing having relatively weak adhesive is used for paper mending; a filament filled backing having an aggressive adhesive is used for packaging applications. Pressure-sensitive adhesives are also obtainable in aerosol form for use in various graphics. The general formula for a pressure-sensitive adhesive includes elastomeric polymer, a tackifying resin, any necessary fillers, various antioxidants and stabilizers, if needed, and cross-linking agents. In formulating a pressure-sensitive adhesive, a balance of three physical properties needs to be taken into account: shear strength, peel strength, and tack. The shear strength or shear holding power of the adhesive is typically measured by hanging a weight on the end of a piece of tape and measuring the time of failure. Tack is the technical term applied to quantify the sticky feel of the material. In general, the shear strength and the tack of a pressure-sensitive adhesive increase and then go through a maximum as a function of the amount of tackifying resin added. The peel strength usually increases with the amount of tackifying resin. The shear holding power often depends upon the mode of cross-linking. Thus, a balance of properties appropriate to the application is obtained by controlling the rubber-to-resin ratio as well as the level and type of cross-linking agent. The most widely used emulsion-based adhesive is that based upon poly(vinyl acetate)-poly(vinyl alcohol) copolymers formed by free-radical polymerization in an emulsion system. Poly(vinyl alcohol) is typically formed by hydrolysis of the poly(vinyl acetate). The properties of the emulsion are derived from the polymer employed in the polymerization as well as from the system used to emulsify the polymer in water. The emulsion is stabilized by a combination of a surfactant plus a colloid protection system. The protective colloids are similar to those used in paint to stabilize latex. For ρoly(vinyl acetate), the protective colloids are isolated from natural gums and cellulosic resins (carboxymethylcel louse or hydroxyethylcellose). The hydrolyzed polymer may also be used. The physical properties of the poly(vinyl acetate) polymer can be modified by changing the co-monomer used in polymerization. Any material that is free-radically active and participates in an emulsion polymerization can be employed. Plasticizers, tackifiers, humectants, and other materials are often added to the adhesive to meet specifications for the intended application. Because the presence of foam in the bond line could decrease performance of the adhesion joint, agents that control the amount of air entrapped in an adhesive bond must be added. Biocides are also necessary: many of the materials that are used to stabilize poly(vinyl acetate) emulsions are natural products. Poly(vinyl acetate) adhesives known as "white glue" or "carpenter's glue" are available under a variety of trade names. Applications are found mostly in the area of adhesion to paper and wood. Methods and compositions or components suitable for preparing and evaluating adhesives are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,679,732, and 5,536,811 and European Patent Application 770,655 A2, the disclosure of each of which is incorporated herein in its entirety. Methods and compositions or components suitable for preparing and evaluating sealants such as caulks are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,124,384 and 5,296,627 and published International Application WO 89/12618, the disclosure of each of which is incorporated herein in its entirety. Elastomers Elastomers have been generally described in Kirk-Othmer-Elastomers; pg. 905- 1079; Vol. 8; 1993; and Kirk-Othmer-Elastomers; pg. 1-31 ; Vol. 9; 1994, by various authors, the disclosure of each of which is incorporated herein in its entirety. The term elastomer is the modern word to describe a material that exhibits rubbery properties, i.e., that can recover most of its original dimensions after extension or compression. One key class of elastomers is rubber materials. Rubber materials, e.g., natural, SBR, or polybutadiene, being unsaturated hydrocarbons, are subjected to sulfur vulcanization, and this process requires certain ingredients in the rubber compound, besides the sulfur, e.g., accelerator, zinc oxide, and stearic acid. Accelerators are catalysts that accelerate the cross-linking reaction so that reaction time drops from many hours to perhaps 20-30 min. at about 130°C. In addition to the ingredients that play a role in the actual vulcanization process, there are other components that make up a typical rubber compound. Softeners and extenders, generally inexpensive petroleum oils, help in the mastication and mixing of the compound. Antioxidants are necessary because the unsaturated rubbers can degrade rapidly unless protected from atmospheric oxygen. They are generally organic compounds of the amine or phenol type. Reinforcing fillers, e.g. carbon black or silica, can help enormously in strengthening the rubber against rupture or abrasion. Nonreinforcing fillers, e.g., clay or chalk, are used only as extenders and stiffeners to reduce cost. For Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR), the polymerization is carried out in an emulsion system where a mixture of the two monomers is mixed with a soap [or other surface active agent] solution containing the necessary catalysts (initiators). The final product is an emulsion of the copolymer, i.e., a fluid latex. Inks The invention also encompasses inks and methods and compositions for preparing inks. Methods and compositions or components methods suitable for preparing and evaluating inks are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,912,157, 5,039,339, and published International Application WO 97/45495, the disclosure of each of which is incorporated herein in its entirety. INVENTIVE CASE MATERIALS The present invention embodies CASE materials which comprise polymer particles or a polymer latex (derived from the aforementioned polymers formed from the use of polymerizable surface active agents). These CASE materials may additionally contain standard ingredients, including those previously mentioned, as used by those of ordinary skill in the art to prepare such CASE materials. The CASE materials of the present invention may be formulated for the chosen end use. The CASE materials are prepared by conventional techniques that are known in the art. The CASE materials may be applied to various substrates by methods known in the art, such as for example, air-assisted spray, airless spray, brush, direct coat or transfer coat, roller, caulk-gun, and the like. Adhesives, sealants and elastomers may be applied by a wide variety of application devices typically used for such a purpose. As mentioned, the CASE materials may contain optional ingredients, such as for example, silane adhesion promoters and fumed silica. Sealants and/or adhesives may be in various forms, including for example, clear, transparent, translucent or opaque caulks. Typical formulations are found in U.S. Pat. No. 4,626,567, which discloses an acrylic copolymer latex sealant composition containing an acrylic copolymer. Sealants and adhesives may also include, if desired, plasticizers, freeze-thaw stabilizers, colorants or pigments, pigment dispersants, anti-bacterial and/or anti-fungal materials, biocides, mildewcides, preservatives, mineral oils, pH adjusting agents (mineral and organic acids/bases), solvents (e.g. ethylene glycol, propylene glycol), adhesion promoters, e.g., epoxysilanes, and agents for improving rheological properties such as thickeners and anti- slump agents. Plasticizers are generally used in an amount of up to about 25% by weight and the other additives, when present, will typically be present in a ratio of about 4:1 filler to latex. Plasticizers are often desirable to reduce the tack of the copolymer so that the sealant can have the desired tack-free time of less than 72 hours. Typical polymer latex sealant compositions have a viscosity of 80,000-400,000 cps. The polymer latex can be an exclusively acrylic-based polymer latex, a vinyl acetate- ethyl ene (VAE) copolymer latex, or any of the polymer latexes typically used in the art for making sealant compositions, especially caulks. The plasticizer used may be a diester of phthalic acid or an N-alkyl arylsulfonamide, or mixtures of the two. Suitable diesters of phthalic acid include C,-C 8 alkyl arylphthalates such as butyl benzylphthalate, ethyl benzylphthalate, hexyl phenylphthalate, and ethylhexyl phenylphthalate. Suitable N-alkyl arylsulfonamides include N-(C,-C 8 )alkyl arylsulfonamides such as N-n-butyl benzenesulfonamide. N-n- butyl toluenesulfonamide, N-ethyl benzenesulfonamide, and N-iso-butyl benzylsulfonamide. Other optional ingredients include silane adhesion promoters, which can be any of those well known in the art, including gamma-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane, gamma- glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, gamma-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and mixtures thereof. Suitable silanes also include the organo-amino silanes disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,340,524. As an optional filler, silica may be a hydrophilic fumed silica or it may be a hydrophobic fumed silica derivative in which some of the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the fumed silica have been replaced by trimethylsiloxyl groups. Such hydrophobic silicas are known as silica silylates and are commercially available. Suitable thickeners which may be used include poly(ox-l,2-ethanediyl)-alpha-hydro-omega-hydroxy polymer with oxy-1 ,2-ethanediyl-alpha-hydro-omega-hydroxy-nonyl-phenoxyglycidyl ether oligomers and 5-isocyanato-l-(iso-cyanatomethyl)-l,3, 3-trimethylcyclohexane or hydroxyethyl cellulose or polyacrylic acid polymers and copolymers or a base such as sodium hydroxide to raise the pH if sufficient carboxylate is present in the system. The sealants and adhesives may contain residual, un-polymerized, polymerizable surface active agent; additional polymerized or unpolymerized polymerizable surface active agent; or, less preferably, optional traditional anionic, nonionic or amphoteric surfactants, or mixtures thereof, may also be present in the finished sealant or adhesive. Suitable traditional surfactants include those mentioned herein. Fillers may be optionally employed in the present invention, such as any conventional inorganic filler, e.g. carbonates, oxides and sulphates. Suitable fillers include calcium carbonate, calcium oxide, magnesium carbonate, barium sulfate and the like. When present, the filler may be about 10 to about 30 wt %, based on total weight of the composition. The sealant composition may also include if desired a freeze-thaw stabilizer, a biocide, fillers and a tooling aide well known in the art. The sealant composition may be readily prepared using a conventional mixer, followed by deairing. Mixing and deairing procedures are well known in the art.

As used in the Examples appearing below, the following designations, symbols, terms and abbreviations have the indicated meanings: Material Definition Polystep® A-l 3 Linear dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (commercially available from Stepan Company, Northfield Illinois) Polystep® A- 16 Branched dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid, sodium salt (commercially available from Stepan Company, Northfield Illinois) Polystep® A-17 Branched dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (commercially available from Stepan Company, Northfield Illinois) Polystep® B-330A Ammonium laureth-3-sulfate (commercially available from Stepan Company, Northfield Illinois) Polystep® AU-7 Allylammonium laureth-3-sulfate (commercially available from Stepan Company, Northfield Illinois) Cedephos® CP-610 Nonyl Phenol 9-EO Phosphoric Acid Ester (commercially available from Stepan Company, Northfield Illinois) The amount of agglomerated polymers, or "coagulum", in the resulting lattices at the conclusion of the polymerization is determined by collecting the agglomerated polymers using a 20 mesh screen that has openings sufficiently large enough to allow the discrete un-agglomerated polymers to pass, rinsing the collected agglomerated polymers with water, and weighting the remaining agglomerated polymers trapped on the screen. The percent coagulum is calculated by dividing the weight of the coagulum by the theoretical weight of the entire latex based upon the weights of the ingredients used for the polymerization reaction. The viscosity of the resulting lattices following polymerization is determined by using a RV Brookfield synchro-lechtric viscometer equipped with a No. 3 spindle. During such determinations 950 ml of each latex is placed in a 1000 ml beaker and the viscometer operated at 25°C and 60 rpm. The mechanical stability of the lattices following exposure to mechanical stress is evaluated to determine the extent to which there is a change in the viscosity and/or the visual presence of coagulum. More specifically, a cups of each latex is placed in a stainless steel Hamilton Beach blender, and the blender operated at medium speed until the latex coagulates. Failure of the latex is the point at which coagulum separation can be visually observed; a longer time of blending at medium speed without coagulum separation, i.e. a longer time before failure, is a highly desirable characteristic of a latex. Solids of lattices were determined by concentrating the latex at 120°C in an oven to remove all volitiles, and subsequently weighing the residue. The pH of each solution was measured using an Orion 210 pH meter. Particle size was measured using a Nicomp 370, [submicron analyzer, (up to 2 microns)]. The particle size of the resulting lattices is determined with a NICOMP 370C Auto-dilution particle size analyzer using standard methods and procedures for operation of such equipment and such data recorded for 50% volume in units of nanometers. The water sensitivity, e.g. hydrophobicity, of the resulting lattices was determined by ASTM D724-45. All 'H NMR spectra were recorded using a 270 MHz JEOL Delta NMR Fourier Transform Spectrometer. Chemical shifts (δ) are reported in parts per million (ppm) down field from tetramethylsilane (TMS) using internal TMS or residual non-deuterated solvent as a reference. NMR data for all samples was acquired by dissolving the solid sample in CD 3 OD. The allylamine and propyl amine may be obtained from Aldrich Chemical Company (USA). In the following examples, all amounts are stated in percent by weight of active material unless indicated otherwise. One skilled in the art will recognize that modifications may be made in the present invention without deviating from the spirit or scope of the invention. The invention is illustrated further by the following examples, which are not to be construed as limiting the invention or scope of the specific procedures or compositions described herein.

The resulting latex product is completely removed from the reactor and gravity filtered using a first 20 mesh screen and then a second 250 mesh screen. The total latex coagulum (i.e. solids) from both mesh screens is collected, combined and weighed. The resulting latex has the following charateristics: Solids 48.41% Particle size (nm) Vol (50%) 95nm. pH 2.43 Visc.(3/60) 140.00 (centipoise) Coagulum 0.36g (<0.05% on total batch weight) Example 13 The hydrophobicity of a latex prepared using a typical non-polymerizable surfactant was compared to that of a latex prepared using a representative polymerizable surfactant of the present invention. Using ASTM D724-45, it has been discovered that the latex prepared in Example 1 (using ADDBS) possesses remarkable hydrophobicity, as compared to the latex prepared according to Example 1 (using the ammonium salt of dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid, AmDDBS). The change in contact angle as a function of time for a water droplet at each of the latex film surfaces was measured, and the results are shown below. Time (Seconds) Latex Surfactant 20 40 60 AmDDBS (non-polymerizable) (Contact Angle) 98 c 74 c 51 < 27° ADDBS (polymerizable) (Contact Angle) 125° 125° 125° 125° Without being bound by any particular theory, a rapidly decreasing contact angle as observed from a latex film indicates that the water droplet is penetrating the film due to surfactant related imperfections of the film. A constant water droplet contact angle, as in the case of the ADDBS derived latex, indicates the desirable result whereby water is unable to penetrate the hydrophobic film. In a test similar to the contact angle measurements, the hydrophobicity of a latex prepared using a typical non-polymerizable surfactant was compared to that of a latex prepared using a representative polymerizable surfactant of the present invention, where the different latex films were coated and heat cured onto porous filter paper and treated with water. As shown in the results below, with the latex derived from the ADDBS surfactnat, water readily and undesirably penetrated through the film and absorbed into the paper in a few seconds. However, with the latex film derived from the ADDBS surfactant, water did not penetrate or absorb, and the water droplet maintained its original shape on the latex film until influenced by evaporation effects (at least thirty minutes).

It has been discovered that the latex prepared in Example 1 (using ADDBS) possess a vastly superior adhesion profile, as compared to the latex prepared according to Example 1 (using the ammonium salt of dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid, AmDDBS). Adhesion data were collected for each latex acrylic lattice using ASTM method D897. This test method is a standard test for adhesion called "block pull"; results from the test are indicated in pounds per square inch (p.s.i.), wherein higher p.s.i. indicates better adhesion properties of the latex. Adhesive failure is defined as the point at which the latex, upon application of a pulling force, no longer adheres to the surface of the substrate. Cohesive failure is defined as the point at which the latex itself fails, i.e. where the latex splits into two or more portions, but remains bound to the substrate. The adhesion tests were conducted using an Instron Model 1123, with a 5000 pound load cell, a sample size of 0.5 g of latex, and a surface area of 4 in 2 , where the treated sample blocks were allowed to dry at room temperature (i.e. 25°C) for three days under 0.25 p.s.i. external pressure. Aluminum and steel blocks were prepared by sanding with extra fine 220 grit paper until smooth to the touch. A weighed amount of each latex (0.5 g) was placed on one surface of one block and another block place on top for three days. Failure was determined by visual inspection, with the results indicated below. Latex Surfactant Adhesive Failure (p.s.i.)

It has been discovered that the latex prepared in Example 1 (using ADDBS) possess a greatly improved film yellowing profile, as compared to the latex prepared according to Example 1 (using the ammonium salt of dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid, AmDDBS). Latex film yellowing was compared after aging the films six months at room temperature, at approximately standard atmospheπc conditions It is highly desirable, as known by one skilled in the art, to produce a latex film that does not yellow upon application to a surface, with the passage of time After a penod of 6 months, the ADDBS-deπved latex was plainly observed to be significantly lighter color than the AmDDBS-deπved latex Absorbence measurements were taken for each latex at 350 nm and 420 nm; the lower the absorbance at a given wave length, the lighter the latex (I e the less yellow the latex) Results of the measurements for the two latexes are shown below Latex Absorbance Latex Surfactant 350 nm 420 nm AmDDBS (non-polymeπzable) 16.9 5.3 ADDBS (polymeπzable) 10.0 2.5 Example 16 The scrub resistance properties of a latex prepared using a typical non- polymerizable surfactant were compared to that of a latex prepared using a representative polymeπzable surfactant of the present invention It has been discovered that the latex prepared in Example 1 (using ADDBS) possess improved scrubabihty characteπstics, as compared to the latex prepared according to Example 1 (using the ammonium salt of dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid, AmDDBS). Scrubabihty of the latexes was evaluated using ASTM scrub test D2486 Seven Star Acrylic Flat House Pa t, 103A100 White, from Ace Hardware was utilized in the testing. The ADBBS- and AmDDBS-deπved latexes were individually added to the paint in a latex:pamt ratio of 2 1 FTIR compaπsons were conducted by casting onto glass latex films deπved from both ADDBS and AmDDBS The films were dπed at room temperature for several days, removed from the glass, and aged at room temperature under ambient conditions for six months. The films were individually placed on ZnSe plates and the FTIR spectra recorded. Peak heights were measured on the absorbance peak located at 1035 cm "1 (i.e. the S=O stretch peak) for each film. It has been discovered that the latex prepared in Example 1 (using ADDBS) possess a much lower peak height absorbance in the FTIR spectrum, as compared to the latex prepared according to Example 1 (using the ammonium salt of dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid, AmDDBS). Without being bound by any particular theory, a lower peak height absorbance indicates a desirable characteristic of the latex, where the individual surfactant molecules are not present at the surface of the latex film, i.e. they have not migrated to the surface of the film.

Preparation of Paints High-gloss paints LP1 and LP2 were prepared using the components and amounts (mass basis) thereof shown in Table V. All paints were white. Paint incorporating the latex prepared with non-migrating surfactant according to the invention is denoted LP1 herein, and paint prepared incorporating the latex made with traditional surfactant is denoted LP2 herein.

These substrates were aged at 22 °C and 50% relative humidity (RH) for a minimum of six weeks. Latex paint films 0.003" in wet thickness were then drawn on these substrates and were aged for five days at 22 °C and 50% relative humidity. Samples were immersed in water for 16 - 18 hours and removed immediately before evaluation. The appearance of the paint films was assessed and the films were then subjected to adhesion testing. Adhesion of the latex films to the alkyd substrates was tested by cutting an "x" in the paint film, placing Permacel ® tape #99 on the cut area, waiting approximately 60 to 75 s, and then removing the tape and determining the extent to which the paint was removed (ASTM D-3359 A). A separate, more qualitative test involved using a razor to cut short lines (approximately 1.5 - 2 cm in length) in the paint films and then attempting to cause delamination of the paint films by rubbing across the cut with a standard pencil eraser. A summary of the results is presented in the table below. More detailed descriptions of the results follow the table. Results: Paint Appearance X-Cut/Tape Peel Eraser Scrub Non-Migratmg Surfactant' Same as before Peeling only under tape/ No delamination immersion within X Traditional Surfactant: Severely blistered Peeling beyond tape/ Significant beyond X delamination Assessment of the appearance of paint samples following water immersion: Non-Migrating Surfactant: Looked approximately the same as before the test (maintained its original smooth and glossy appearance). Traditional Surfactant: Severely blistered (blisters approximately 1 mm in diameter, spaced 2-5 mm apart. Ratings according to ASTM D-714: 5M - 6M). As the paint film equilibrated under ambient conditions, the blisters flattened into craters. X-cut adhesion test (ASTM Method D-3359 A) Non-Migrating Surfactant: Essentially no paint was removed outside of the area contacted directly by the tape. Nearly all of the paint removed was within the boundaries of the x-cut (i.e., an imaginary rectangular box enclosing the x). Traditional Surfactant: Significant amounts of paint were removed, including paint well outside the area contacted by the tape and well beyond the boundaries of the x-cut. Eraser-scrub adhesion test: Non-Migrating Surfactant: When the cuts were scrubbed with the eraser, no paint delaminated; rather, the edges of the cut were smoothed down and the cuts became less prominent. Traditional Surfactant: Paint readily delaminated, leaving wide strips of the substrate exposed (~ 2 to 5 cm). Underneath the delaminated paint, the alkyd paint was wet. These data indicate that the properties of adhesion and lack of blistering of the polymerizable surface active agent-based paint are signficantly better than a similar paint formulation prepared using a traditional surfactant. Adhesion to Aluminum (ASTM D-3359. Method B) Aluminum test panels were obtained from P.N. Gardner Co. and were scrubbed with detergent, rinsed with de-ionized water, and dried with a jet of air or with an absorbent tissue before use. Paint films of 0.003" thickness were drawn on clean panels in the laboratory and were allowed to dry for 5 days at either 22 °C and 50% RH or at laboratory ambient temperature and 84% RH. Cross-hatch tests of adhesion to aluminum were performed as follows. Cross-hatch patterns at a density of approximately 11 cuts per centimeter (3 - 4 areas on each of two test panels) were cut using a razor blade. Adhesion was tested by applying Permacel ® tape #99 to the cross-hatched areas and peeling the tape off after approximately 60 - 75 s. The percentage of the paint within the test areas that delaminated was quantified visually, and the coπesponding ASTM-specified ratings were assigned. Results are presented in Table VI below. Table VI Paint Conditions: 50% RH 84% RH Paint LP1 (Non-Migrating Surfactant): 3B - 4B a 2B - 3B Paint LP2 (Traditional Surfactant) 0B - 2B 0B - IB ' 5B = no damage, 0B = greater than 65% of film removed These tests indicate that paint containing a non-migrating surfactant according to the invention exhibited significantly better adhesion to a substrate than did a paint manufactured using a traditional surfactant, even when allowed to dry at relatively high humidity. Water-Spot Damage (Surfactant Blooming) Paint films of 0.003" thickness were drawn on plastic panels and allowed to dry for 24 h at 22 °C and 50% relative humidity. A second film of the same paint and same thickness was drawn over the first; samples were allowed to dry for an additional 4 days at 22 °C and 50% relative humidity. Three large water droplets (~6 mm in diameter) and three small water droplets (-2.5 mm in diameter) were applied to each sample and allowed to evaporate under ambient conditions. The relative extent of blooming was assessed visually. Blooming was characterized by the appearance of a ring within which gloss was reduced due to the deposition of water-soluble materials upon the paint surfaces. The residue from one large drop on each sample was removed with a tissue saturated with de- ionized water, and any lingering damage to the paint films was assessed visually. The results are summarized below. Results: Paint Extent of Blooming Extent of Damage LP1 (Non-migrating surfactant) very slight blooming no apparent damage LP2 (Traditional surfactant) moderate patchy blooming very slight damage The above data indicate that paint LP1, formulated with non-migrating surfactant, performed significantly better than paint LP2, formulated with traditional surfactant. Damage attributable to surfactant blooming was reduced significantly by the use of non- migrating surfactant. Blocking Resistance (ASTM D-4946. modified ' ) Paint films of 0.003" thickness were drawn on sealed paper and aged five days at 22 °C and 50% RH. Squares 1.5" on a side were cut from these samples and placed in contact with each other (paint-to-paint) under a load of 1.6 psi at room temperature for 1.5 h. The relative degree of tack was assessed by noting the ease with which the panels separated, and also by listening to the different panels as they were peeled apart. A rating of 10 indicates that the samples peeled apart effortlessly and silently, whereas a rating of 5 indicates that slight effort was required and some noise ("crackling") was noted. None of the paints transfeπed from one substrate to the other under the testing conditions. Results: Paint Rating LP1 5-7 LP2 4-5 Because a higher rating indicates a lesser extent of blocking, these results demonstrate that paint LP1, formulated with non-migrating surfactant, performed significantly better than paint LP2, formulated with traditional surfactant. Scrub-Resistance (ASTM D-2486) Paint films of 0.007" thickness were drawn on plastic Leneta panels and aged 7 days at 22°C and 50% RH. Samples were placed over a shim 0.5" wide and 0.010" in thickness in a scrub tester equipped with an ASTM-compliant brush and ASTM-compliant scrub medium. Results are reported as cycles to failure. Failure is defined as the point at which the black plastic panel is visible in one uninterrupted strip through the paint film over the shim. Results Paint Cvcles to failure LP1 1253 ± 221 LP2 1230 ± 38 The non-migrating surfactant-based paint according to the invention and the traditional surfactant-based paint performed approximately equally. Paint Re-wetting and Intercoat Adhesion Samples were prepared as for tests of water-spot damage (surfactant blooming), detailed above. Observations were made during the application of the second coat of latex paint, and also after the second coat dried. Cross-hatch patterns at a spacing of 11 cuts/cm were cut using a razor blade (3 - 4 areas on each of two test panels). Permacel ® tape #99 was applied to the cross-hatched areas, and was peeled off after approximately 60 - 75 s. No delamination of any paint was observed during cross-hatch adhesion tests. Furthermore, even though it contained less or no mobile surfactant, the paint formulated with non-migrating surfactant exhibited excellent re-wetting. And as was true with paint formulated with traditional surfactant, no crawling or de-wetting of the second coat of paint formulated with non-migrating surfactant was observed. Stain-Resistance Paint films of 0.003" thickness were drawn down side by side on a black plastic Leneta panel. The panel was aged four days at 50% RH and 22 °C. Strips of commercially prepared mustard, ketchup, and mayonnaise, each approximately 1 cm in width, were applied to each paint sample and allowed to remain undisturbed for 3 h. At that time, the foods were wiped off, and the paint samples were sprayed with Fantastik™ and wiped clean. Results: Paint Mustard Ketchup Mayonnaise LP1 Slightly stained No effect No effect LP2 Slightly stained No effect No effect Paint formulated with non-migrating surfactant performed approximately equally in this test compared to paint formulated with traditional surfactant. Example 18 Adhesives and Sealants: Opaque and Clear Latex Caulks Summary of Results Caulks prepared with non-migrating and traditional surfactants were comparable to each other in appearance and were stable in the presence of various formulation ingredients, including calcium carbonate. Following extended immersion in water, caulks which had been formulated with a non-migrating surfactant exhibited much stronger adhesion to tile than caulks which had been formulated with an analogous traditional surfactant. Caulks which were formulated with both non-migrating surfactant and an adhesion promoter exhibited adhesion to tile that was far stronger than that exhibited by caulks formulated with only one of the two, or with neither. Preparation of latex and formulation of caulks Latexes were prepared containing the materials listed in Table VII. Using those latexes, clear and opaque caulks were prepared containing the components shown in the formulations listed in Tables Villa and VIHb. Clear caulks were prepared essentially according to the procedures set forth in U.S. Patent No. 5,124,384. Opaque caulks were prepared essentially according to the procedures described by Palmer, R.A. and Klosowski, J.M. in Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology (Kroschwitz, J.I.; Howe-Grant, M., Eds.) 4th ed., Vol. 21, pp 650-666. Proportions of ingredients in these tables are given on a mass basis.

The non-migrating surfactant based caulk prepared with both adhesion promoter and non-migrating surfactant displayed superior performance, as compared to all other caulks evaluated. Four caulks were prepared according to the formulation given in Table VHIb, using latexes based either on traditional surfactant (TS) or on non-migrating surfactant (NMS), and formulated either with or without adhesion promoter. Beads of these caulks, approximately 0.5 cm x 2.5 cm, were formed on glossy ceramic tile. All caulks were allowed to dry for various periods of time at 22 °C and 50% relative humidity. The caulk samples were then immersed in de-ionized water for 18 - 24 hours. Adhesion was assessed qualitatively, by determining the level of effort required to dislodge the caulk beads by edge-on pushing and/or by peeling. The results of these measurements are tabulated in Tables IX. X. and XI. Table IX: Drying time: 5 davs Immersion time: Overnight Caulk NMS' > MPS?

In the set of tests in Table XI, however, an effort was made to ensure that both shear adhesion and peel adhesion were evaluated for all samples. The results shown in Tables IX. X. and XI indicate that for many of the caulk beads, adhesive strength increased with drying time. The beads formulated with MPS out- performed those formulated without MPS. Significantly, the caulk beads formulated with both MPS and non-migrating surfactant offered significant resistance to being peeled from tile. While not wishing to be bound by any particular theory, these results suggest a strong synergistic effect between these two materials. These caulks developed a level of adhesion within the first five days of drying which was not realized in the other caulk samples even after 32 days. Cross-Hatch Adhesion Testing of Caulks Four caulks were prepared according to the formulation given in Table VHIb, using latexes based either on traditional surfactant (TS) or on non-migrating surfactant (NMS), and formulated either with or without adhesion promoter. The caulks were drawn down on glass slides to form films of 1.5 mm thickness. These films were allowed to dry for one day under ambient conditions and were then equilibrated for 29 days at 22 °C and 50% relative humidity. Four sets of cross-hatch patterns were cut into each film with a razor blade (6 cuts each direction at a spacing of approximately 2 mm, in accordance with ASTM test method D-3359B). The films were soaked for 17 h in de-ionized water, and were then allowed to dry under ambient conditions for 3 h. Permacel #99 tape was smoothed over the cross-hatched areas, allowed to remain for 60 ± 30 s, and then peeled back in a smooth motion at an angle of 135°. The test areas on the film of caulk prepared using the non-migrating surfactant exhibited no delamination (0%), whereas the caulk prepared using the traditional surfactant, delaminated completely (100%). Test areas on the same films which were cut with a cross-hatch pattern after the films had been soaked overnight in water gave identical results (i.e., no delamination for the NMS-based caulk and complete delamination for the traditional-surfactant-based caulk). Example 19 Pressure Senstive Adhesive (PSA) Preparation of latexes and formulation of Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA). Latexes were prepared according to the formulation presented in Table XII. Amounts of the materials in this table are given on a mass basis. To form PSAs, the latexes were neutralized with ammonia or AMP 95™ (aminomethylpropanol, Angus Chemical Company, Buffalo Grove, Illinois 60089) to a pH of 6.0. Wetting aids (i.e., post-added surfactants) were not used in this study.

Thin PSA films are drawn down on glass and, following aging, are immersed in water in a cuvette inside an ultraviolet/visible spectrophotometer. The percentage of light transmitted through the films is monitored as a function of the length of time the PSA has been immersed. As the films become cloudy, transmittance decreases. Without exception, samples prepared with the non-migrating surfactant according to the invention out-perform those prepared with the traditional surfactant. Conditions: PSA films of 0.003" wet thickness were prepared as described above and drawn down on clean glass microscope slides that had been cut to a width of 1.9 cm. Samples were prepared in duplicate, dried at 65 °C for 10 min, allowed to sit overnight under ambient conditions, and then equilibrated for four days at 22 °C and 50% RH. Individual samples were placed in a cuvette full of water inside an ultraviolet/visible spectrophotometer (Milton Roy Spectronic 2 ID). Immediately upon immersion, percent transmittance (%T) at 500 nm was set to 100% for each sample. Subsequent decreases in %T, attributable to clouding of the film resulting from water uptake, were monitored as a function of time. Results: The following Table XIII shows the values of %T that were measured for the six classes of PSA samples after various periods of immersion. As noted earlier, the latexes either were used as-is (unneutralized), or were neutralized with ammonia or AMP 95 (aminomethylpropanol) to a pH of 6.0. The values in Table XIII are averages.

The improvement was realized independent of whether the latexes were neutralized, and, when neutralizer was used, regardless of the identity of neutralizing agent. Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, this difference in performance results from the elimination of surfactant migration in the non- migrating surfactant-based PSA films.
