An aqueous composition suitable for use, when dry, as an improved elastomeric coating, caulk, sealant, or pressure sensitive adhesive is provided including a predominantly acrylic aqueous emulsion polymer, the polymer having a glass transition temperature (Tg) from -90.degree. C. to 20.degree. C., formed by the free radical polymerization of at least one ethylenically unsaturated nonionic acrylic monomer and 0.5-5%, by weight based on the total weight of said polymer, ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer until 90-99.7% of said monomers by weight, based on the total weight of said polymer, has been converted to polymer and subsequently at least half of the remaining monomer is converted to polymer in the presence of 0.1-1.0 wt %, by weight based on the total weight of said polymer, t-amyl hydroperoxide. A method for preparing the emulsion polymer, a method for coating a substrate to provide an elastomeric coating on a substrate, a method for applying an aqueous caulk or sealant composition to a substrate, and a method for providing a pressure sensitive adhesive on a substrate are also provided.
