Patent ID: 7977445

Claim:
An aqueous storage stable emulsion of one or more polymers of the general formula (I): in which R 1 is a linear or branched alkyl group or alkoxy group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms; R 2 and R 3 independently of one another are a linear or branched alkyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms; R 4 and R 6 independently of one another are divalent organic connecting groups; R 5 is a hydrophobic divalent polymer group; and R 7 is a -[propylene oxy] n [ethylene oxy] m -R 8 group, wherein n, m and R 8 are selected such that the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance value of the corresponding amine H 2 N -[propylene oxy] n [ethylene oxy] m -R 8 ranges from 8 to 15, and R 8 is an aliphatic group, a hydroxyl group or an amino group; wherein the emulsion has a pH of 2 to 11 and a solids content of 40 to 95 wt. % based on the total weight of the emulsion, and the emulsion comprises one or more anionic and/or non-ionic emulsifiers, which are capable of forming an oil in water emulsion; and wherein at least a part of the emulsifier(s) are replaced by polymers of formula (I).
