Abstract

See full text

This invention is a process for producing stable polymer emulsions and latexes with an average particle size of less than one micron. The polymers are hydrogenated block copolymers of conjugated dienes and vinyl aromatic hydrocarbons which may or may not contain polar functionality. The process comprises making a polymer cement of the polymer and a blend of a non-aromatic solvent for the vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon block which is immiscible with water and a non-aromatic cosolvent, emulsifying the polymer cement by adding it to an aqueous phase containing at least one surfactant and removing the solvent, cosolvent and excess water.
