Abstract
An aqueous dispersion including (A) at least one base polymer selected from the group consisting of an ethylene-based co-polymer and a propylene-based co-polymer; (B) at least one polymeric stabilizing agent; and at least one filler; wherein the polymeric stabilizing agent is different from the at least one base polymer and is compatible with the at least one base polymer and the at least one filler, and wherein the dispersion has filler in the range of greater than 0 to about 600 parts per hundred parts of a combined amount of the at least one base polymer and the polymeric stabilizing agent is disclosed.
Claims10
A process for forming a carpet comprising the steps of:
- selecting a substrate;
- selecting an aqueous dispersion comprising:
- (A) at least one base polymer, wherein said base polymer is a thermoplastic polymer;
- and
- (B) at least one stabilizing agent;
- and
- (C) at least one filler;
- and
- (D) water;
- applying said aqueous dispersion to at least one surface of said substrate;
- thereby forming a film associated with said substrate, wherein said film comprises:
- a continuous base polymer phase;
- and
- a discrete stabilizing agent phase dispersed in said continuous base polymer phase.
