Basic information of acrylic emulsion

Acrylic emulsion is an emulsion formed by copolymerization of pure acrylate monomers and also called acrylic polymer emulsion, acrylic resin emulsion or acrylic copolymer emulsion.

It is a kind of emulsion with small particle size, multi-purpose and outstanding performance. It is suitable for a variety of coating formulations and has outstanding water resistance and weather resistance, especially Excellent performance in high-gloss and semi-gloss coatings.

In 1953, Rhoplex AC-33, a 100% pure acrylic emulsion, was launched by Rohm and Haas. After nearly 70 years of development, the production process and application of acrylic emulsion have been in a relatively mature stage, and it has become an important Chemical raw materials are widely used in architectural coatings, waterproof materials, textile technology, packaging materials, wood coatings and metal coatings and other fields.

According to the classification of raw material composition: acrylic emulsion can be divided into Styrene acrylic emulsion, Pure acrylic emulsion, Silicone-acrylic emulsion and so on. Styrene acrylic emulsion, also called styrene acrylic copolymer emulsion, styrene acrylic polymer or water based styrene acrylic, has gathered the demand of most terminals due to its low price and excellent performance, accounting for 71% of the overall market share of acrylic emulsion, while other emulsion varieties are constrained by their own quality and performance, and the overall market share is relatively limited.

According to the classification of enterprise products: almost all manufacturers produce ordinary emulsions for interior and exterior walls of buildings, about 90% of enterprises can produce emulsions for building waterproof coatings, about 50% of enterprises can produce water-based wood paint emulsions (styrene acrylic emulsion paint uses) and papermaking textile emulsions, 27% Enterprises around the world can produce emulsions for metal protective paints (acrylic emulsion paint uses).
