Reaktionsschritte

The following components are mixed in a vessel provided with a stirrer, thermometer and nitrogen inlet and outlet: 347 parts of a mixture of 84% of saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons and 16% of naphthenic hydrocarbons (boiling point of the mixture 192°-254° C.), 53.3 parts of sorbitan monooleate and 20 parts of oxyethylated nonylphenol (degree of oxyethylation from 8 to 12). A solution of 133.6 parts of acrylamide and 59 parts of acrylic acid in 389.4 parts of water, the pH of the solution having been brought to 8.0 with 18 parts of sodium hydroxide, is then added and the aqueous solution is emulsified in the hydrocarbon oil. Nitrogen is then passed over the mixture for 30 minutes, after which the mixture is heated to 60° C. in the course of 15 minutes. At this temperature, a solution of 0.212 part of 2,2'-azo-bis-isobutyronitrile dissolved in a small amount of acetone is added. When the mixture has been heated at 60° C. for 3 hours, the polymerization is complete. A coagulate-free, sedimentation-stable water-in-oil dispersion of a copolymer of 35% of acrylamide and 65% of sodium acrylate is obtained, which is used as a thickener, having co-binder properties, in paper coating compositions. The K value of the polymer is 247.5.
