Abstract: Emulsions of ethylene homopolymer and/or copolymers are provided which are remarkably clear and have a light transmission of at least about 95%, and contain particles which have an average size no greater than about 100 angstrom units. These emulsions are produced by polymerizing ethylene, or ethylene with at least one other alpha unsaturated monomer in aqueous medium in the presence of an effective amount of a water soluble persulfate initiator, from about 2 to about 5 percent by weight based on the aqueous medium of an alkyl aryl sulfonate surfactant, and from about 0.3 to about 0.7 percent by weight based on the aqueous medium of an alkyl mercaptan. The resulting clear emulsions are combined with clear polish latexes such as acrylic latexes to form clear polish compositions.
