  • the reactor was cooled to 55°C.
  • the obtained emulsion was transferred to post-treatment reactor.
  • the post-treatment reactor was stirred at a speed of 200 rpm and charged with 90g of 3.1wt% aqueous solution of disodium 2-hydroxy-2-sulfinatoacetate in 30 mins, then 90g of mixture of 1wt% aqueous solution of f-butyl peroxide and 1wt% aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide in 30 mins.
  • the post-treatment reactor was kept under a vacuum degree of -0.3bar.
  • a vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer-based emulsion (Emulsion 2) was prepared according to the procedure in Example 1 , except that the post-treatment reactor has not subjected to water vapor extraction.
  • the obtained vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer-based emulsion (Emulsion 2) has a residual monomer content of 685 ppm.
  • Example 1 -2 The emulsions as obtained in Example 1 -2 and Comparative Example 1 -2 were used to prepare paper coating compositions respectively according to the formulation as listed in Table 2.
  • the paper coating composition prepared from Emulsion 2 with a high residual monomer content of 685 ppm also passes the odor evaluation test with a value of greater than 30, which suggests that the vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer-based emulsion according to the present invention can provide low odor to the paper coating composition prepared therefrom, especially after exposure to UV drier according to the procedure of odor evaluation test, therefore is useful as binder for printing packages with high qualities, such as cigarette package, food package and the like.
