Claims
- 1. An aqueous composition suitable for use in coating leather consisting essentially of(a) an aqueous emulsion polymer comprising from 0.4% to 10% by weight of copolymerized acetoacetate or acetoacetamide monomer based on the weight of said polymer and having a glass transition temperature (Tg) from −20° C. to 10° C., (b) optionally, one or more thickeners, (c) optionally, one or more pigments, (d) optionally, one or more fatty acid esters, (e) optionally, one or more dulling agents, and (f) optionally, water in addition to that contained in (a), (b), (c), and (d).
- 2. A method for coating leather comprising(a) forming an aqueous composition consisting essentially of (i) an aqueous emulsion polymer comprising from 0.4% to 10% by weight of copolymerized acetoacetate or acetoacetamide monomer based on the weight of said polymer and having a glass transition temperature (Tg) from −20° C. to 10° C., (ii) optionally, one or more thickeners, (iii) optionally, one or more pigments, (iv) optionally, one or more fatty acid esters, (v) optionally, one or more dulling agents, and (vi) optionally, water in addition to that contained in (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), (b) coating leather with said aqueous composition; and (c) drying, or allowing to dry, said aqueous composition.
- 3. An aqueous composition suitable for use in coating leather consisting essentially of(a) an aqueous emulsion polymer comprising from 0.4% to 4% by weight of copolymerized acetoacetate or acetoacetamide monomer based on the weight of said polymer and having a glass transition temperature (Tg) from −20° C. to 10° C., (b) optionally, one or more thickeners, (c) optionally, one or more pigments, (d) optionally, one or more fatty acid esters, (e) optionally, one or more dulling agents, and (f) optionally, water in addition to that contained in (a), (b), (c), and (d).
- 4. A method for coating leather comprising(a) forming an aqueous composition consisting essentially of (i) an aqueous emulsion polymer comprising from 0.4% to 4% by weight of copolymerized acetoacetate or acetoacetamide monomer based on the weight of said polymer and having a glass transition temperature (Tg) from −20° C. to 10° C., (ii) optionally, one or more thickeners, (iii) optionally, one or more pigments, (iv) optionally, one or more fatty acid esters, (v) optionally, one or more dulling agents, and (vi) optionally, water in addition to that contained in (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), (b) coating leather with said aqueous composition; and (c) drying, or allowing to dry, said aqueous composition.
