What is acrylic resins?

(Is acrylic resin natural or synthetic?) Acrylic resin is a type of synthetic material derived from acrylic acid or methacrylic acid. It's used in various applications due to its versatility and properties.

(What is acrylic resin used for?) When combined with other materials or polymers, acrylic resin can form acrylic paints, adhesives, coatings, and even dental fillings.

It's prized for its transparency, weather resistance, durability, and ability to be molded into various shapes.

What are the classification of acrylic resins?

1. In terms of composition

Acrylic resin is divided into: all-acrylic resin, styrene acrylic resin, silicone-acrylic resin, acetic-acrylic resin, fluoropropylene resin and tert-propylene (tert carbonate-acrylate) resin, etc.

2. Film-forming properties

Acrylic resins are divided into: thermoplastic acrylic resin and thermosetting acrylic resin.

2-1. Thermosetting resin:

After film formation, the chemical cross-linking reaction is irreversible, so the coating film has a network structure and has good physical properties and resistance.

2-2. Thermoplastic resin:

After film formation, there is no chemical reaction and the plasticity is variable. It is a one-component system, but the coating has poor resistance.
