An adhesive composition comprises a copolymer dispersion prepared by a free radical emulsion polymerization process, in which a first monomer composition comprising from 60 weight percent to 95 weight percent of at least one vinyl ester of a C.sub.1 to C.sub.18 carboxylic acid, and from 5 weight percent to 40 weight percent ethylene is polymerized in a first stage to produce a first polymer phase having a glass transition temperature T.sub.g less or equal than 30 C. A second, different monomer composition comprising from 5 weight percent to 95 weight percent of at least one vinyl ester of a C.sub.1 to C.sub.18 carboxylic acid and from 5 weight percent to 95 weight percent 2-ethylhexyl acrylate is then polymerized in a second stage, and in the presence of the first polymer phase, to produce a second polymer phase also having a glass transition temperature T.sub.g less than or equal to 30 C.

An adhesive composition comprising a core shell vinyl ester and a urethane acrylate, which is suitable to be applied to a rough or uneven surface of a substrate to render a smooth surface. The present adhesive composition is particularly suitable to coat large objects made through additive manufacturing to form molds or prototypes.

The present invention relates to an aqueous emulsion including an ethylenically unsaturated monomer unit-containing polymer as a dispersoid and a polyvinyl alcohol as a dispersant. The content of a free polyvinyl alcohol in the aqueous emulsion is 0.2 to 20 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the ethylenically unsaturated monomer unit-containing polymer. The free polyvinyl alcohol has a degree of saponification of 80.0 to 99.5 mol % and a viscosity-average degree of polymerization of 200 to 5000, and the free polyvinyl alcohol has a symmetry factor (W.sub.0.05h/2f) that satisfies the following expression (1) as determined by gradient high-performance liquid chromatography for reversed-phase separation using a water-acetone eluent according to JIS K 0124 (2011).
