1. A binder for a nonwoven composite of non-oleophilic fibrous material comprising:
- a) a dispersed phase in an aqueous media of polymer from the polymerization of unsaturated monomer(s) in combination with, b) a water dispersible and/or blocked polyisocyanate component dispersed in an aqueous media, said polyisocyanate present from 0.01 to about 20 weight percent based on the weight of the binder less the volatile portion of said aqueous media.

Abstract
A polymeric dispersion in aqueous phase for use as a polymeric binder for paper and other nonwoven articles is described utilizing a polyisocyanate in combination with said polymeric binder to increase the ratio wet tensile/dry tensile strength. The polyisocyanate seems to be functioning by increasing the fiber to binder interaction rather than by simply increasing the strength/crosslink density of the binder. The polyisocyanate can be blocked isocyanate(s) or water dispersible isocyanate(s). The binder may or may not have isocyanate reactive species along the backbone.
