Classification of acrylic resins:
According to the differences in molecular structure and application mechanism, acrylic resins are divided into two types: thermoplastic acrylic resin and thermosetting acrylic resin.
Thermoplastic acrylic resin does not undergo further cross-linking during the application process, and has a relatively large molecular weight. It has good gloss and color retention, water and chemical resistance, fast drying, and convenient construction. It is widely used in the fields of automobiles, electrical appliances, machinery, and construction.
Thermosetting acrylic resin refers to a variety with certain functional groups in the structure, which form a network structure by reacting with functional groups in amino, epoxy, silicone and other resins during paint making or other applications.
Form of acrylic resin:
Acrylic resins are generally synthesized by solution polymerization, emulsion polymerization, bulk polymerization, and suspension polymerization, and are usually processed into physical forms such as liquid, emulsion, and solid. According to different application requirements, two completely different systems, "oil-based acrylic resin" and "water-based acrylic resin", are usually used in various industries.
Advantages of acrylic:
The reason why acrylic resin can be closely related to human production and life and military industry and grow rapidly is because of its following advantages.
Advantages: Safe, Non-toxic, Good biocompatibility, Excellent transparency, Excellent fading resistance, Excellent weather resistance, Durability, Outstanding UV resistance, Easy processing and molding, Good mechanical properties and Good film-forming properties.
Acrylic resin products' characteristics and outstanding advantages cater to the society's unremitting pursuit of "safety, environmental protection and health".
