Patent ID: 8541348

Claim:
An emulsion comprising: (a) a water-insoluble resinous material; (b) water; (c) an emulsifier, wherein the emulsifier comprises a non-ionic emulsifier; and (d) a suspending agent, wherein the suspending agent, when tested at a concentration of 0.5% by weight in water, provides a fluid having an elastic modulus of greater than 1 Pa as measured within the linear viscoelastic region; wherein the continuous phase of the emulsion comprises the water; wherein a dispersed phase of the emulsion comprises the resinous material; wherein the dispersed phase is in the form of droplets having a size distribution range such that at least 50% of the droplets have a size of 0.5 micrometers —500 micrometers; wherein the resinous material of the droplets is in a concentration of at least 5% by weight of the water; and wherein the composition of the droplets has a viscosity of less than 2,000 Poise at 20° F.
