Abstract
The present invention relates to a composition comprising a) an aqueous dispersion of styrenic copolymer particles having a z-average particle size in the range of from 50 to 500 nm; and b) a C4-C10-alkyl hydroperoxide having a concentration in the range of from 250 ppm to 5000 ppm, based on the weight of the composition. The composition of the present invention provides a latex that is resistant to microbial growth even in the absence of a biocide.
