Patent ID: 7893151

Claim:
A composition comprising: (a) a water borne polymeric binder wherein said binder comprises from 0.05 wt. % to 20 wt. %, based on the total amount of polymer solids, of carboxy acid monomers, present as copolymerized monomers in pendant polyacid sidechain groups, wherein the binder has a calculated Tg of between −50° C. and 80° C.; (b) a filler, wherein on a dry weight basis the ratio of filler to polymer is from 1:1 to 10:1; and (c) a thickener in an amount sufficient to achieve a shear thinnable composition that has a Brookfield viscosity of between 200,000-10,000,000 cP when not under shear conditions wherein the volume solids of the composition is between about 50 to about 75%.
