A copolymer emulsion for bonding nonwoven products comprising an aqueous medium having colloidally dispersed therein a copolymer consisting essentially of vinyl acetate, 5-35 wt % ethylene and 2 to 10 wt % of an amide functional crosslinking comonomer which is N-methylolacrylamide or a compound of the formula R--NH--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --CH(OR').sub.2 where R is (meth)acryloyl, R' is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl group and n is 3 or 4, the copolymer emulsion prepared in the presence of 0.1 to 1 wt % polyvinyl pyrrolidone, based on vinyl acetate in the copolymer. Such emulsion binder copolymers demonstrate improved solvent resistance.
                            一种共聚物乳液,用于粘合非织造产品,包括一种
水性介质,在其中胶体分散着一种共聚物,该共聚物基本上由
乙酸乙烯酯、5-35重量%的
乙烯和2至10重量%的酰胺交联共聚单体组成,所述酰胺交联共聚单体为N-甲基
丙烯酰胺或式R--NH--(CH.sub.2).sub.n--CH(OR').sub.2的化合物,其中R为(甲)基
丙烯酰基,R'为C.sub.1-C.sub.4烷基,n为3或4,该共聚物乳液在存在0.1至1重量%的聚
乙烯吡咯烷酮(基于共聚物中的
乙酸乙烯酯)的情况下制备。这种乳液粘合剂共聚物表现出改善的溶剂抗性。
