A polymer-containing composition adapted for application to agriculturally useful solid product.

Abstract

A polymer-containing composition including a copolymer containing individual quantities of maleic and itaconic moieties, water, and an organic compound drying agent adapted for application to agriculturally useful solid products, is provided, including solid materials such as nitrogenous fertilizers (e.g., urea), together with a polycarboxylated polymer selected from the group consisting of a salts of copolymers containing individual quantities of maleic and itaconic moieties. The polymer composition also includes from about 10-60% by weight of an organic drying agent such as a lower alcohol which enhances the quick drying properties thereof. The compositions may also include an amount of boron, and bimodal vinylic polymer made up of quantities of high and low molecular weight (MW) vinylic polymers such as PVA.
