    Stepping into the Wonderful Realm of Acrylic Emulsions

    2026-01-23

    This seemingly ordinary milky-white liquid contains immense power to transform the world of materials. In daily life, we rarely notice a chemical product called "acrylic emulsion," yet it's ubiquitous—from home wall coverings to clothing fibers, from packaging materials to wood coatings, this magical emulsion is quietly adding color and convenience to our lives. What is Acrylic Emulsion? Acrylic emulsion is a milky-white or nearly transparent viscous liquid made from acrylate monomers through an emulsion polymerization reaction. Simply put, this process is like making salad dressing; an emulsifier stably disperses otherwise difficult-to-mix ingredients in water, forming a homogeneous emulsion system. Acrylic emulsion is one of the main film-forming substances in water-based coatings, accounting for a significant proportion of the raw materials used in water-based coatings. It is non-toxic, non-irritating, and environmentally friendly, while also possessing excellent physical and chemical properties, making it an environmentally friendly chemical raw material. Properties and Classification of Acrylic Emulsions Superior Product Characteristics Acrylic emulsions possess a range of excellent properties: good water resistance, alkali resistance, and stain resistance, and excellent adhesion to a variety of material surfaces. They can be used to formulate matte, semi-gloss, and high-gloss latex paints, and are also suitable for high-quality flooring, cement tiles, and tennis court coatings. When applied to coatings, acrylic emulsions inherit the fast-drying, low-odor, and easy-to-clean characteristics of other water-based coatings. However, compared to other water-based coatings, they offer higher durability and alkali resistance, making them the preferred material for interior wall coatings. Diverse Product Classifications Based on application, acrylic emulsions can be classified as: interior wall emulsions, exterior wall emulsions, stone-like paint emulsions, elastic emulsions, liquid granite paint emulsions, waterproof emulsions, and sealing emulsions. Based on composition, they can be classified as: pure acrylic emulsions, silicone acrylic emulsions, styrene-acrylic emulsions, and vinyl acetate-acrylic emulsions. Different types have their own characteristics to meet diverse application needs. Applications of Acrylic Emulsions Acrylic emulsions have a wide range of applications, permeating almost every aspect of our lives: In the construction industry, acrylic emulsions, with their excellent adhesion, weather resistance, and environmental friendliness, have become the preferred base material for high-performance architectural coatings. They can also be used in waterproofing materials, where their excellent water resistance and weather resistance ensure stable product performance. In textile processing, acrylic emulsions impart more functional properties to textiles, such as acting as finishing agents to improve the abrasion resistance and wrinkle re...

    What are the differences between acrylic resins used in coatings and adhesives?

    2026-01-22

    Acrylic resins used in adhesives and acrylic resins used in coatings differ in the following aspects: Performance Characteristics Acrylic Resins for Adhesives High Bonding Strength Requires strong adhesion between different materials, requiring rapid curing and sufficient cohesive and adhesive strength. For example, α-cyanoacrylate adhesives can cure in seconds for rapid bonding. Good Flexibility When the adhered materials are subjected to external forces, the adhesive's flexibility can buffer stress, preventing easy cracking at the bonded area and ensuring the durability of the bond. For example, second-generation acrylic adhesives form a tough cured product through the reaction of monomers and elastomers. Strong Surface Adaptability Exhibits good adhesion to various material surfaces, including metals, plastics, glass, and wood. Surface preparation requirements for the bonded materials are relatively low; some adhesives can even bond to oil-coated surfaces. Acrylic resin for coatings Good weather resistance In outdoor environments, it can resist long-term erosion from ultraviolet rays, rain, wind, sand, and temperature changes. It is not prone to fading, chalking, cracking, or peeling, maintaining the integrity and decorative properties of the coating. It is often used for coating outdoor buildings and facilities. Excellent decorative properties It can be made into coatings with different gloss levels, such as high gloss and matte. It offers a rich variety of colors with good color retention, providing excellent visual effects. It also has excellent leveling properties, forming a smooth and even coating surface. Good mechanical properties It possesses a certain degree of hardness, abrasion resistance, and flexibility to resist mechanical actions such as friction and impact during use, protecting the surface of the coated object. However, different coatings may emphasize different aspects of hardness and flexibility; for example, wood coatings may prioritize flexibility, while metal coatings may focus more on hardness. Chemical Composition and Formulation Acrylic Resins for Adhesives Monomer Selection Commonly used monomers include acrylates and methacrylates. Special functional monomers are also introduced to improve adhesive properties, such as monomers containing polar groups like hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, which can increase interaction with the surfaces of the adhered objects. Additive Use Initiators, accelerators, stabilizers, plasticizers, etc., are added. For example, anaerobic adhesives require a special initiation system to initiate the curing reaction under anaerobic conditions. Acrylic Resins for Coatings Monomer Selection In addition to commonly used acrylate monomers, monomers with specific functions are selected to improve coating performance. For example, fluorinated acrylate monomers can improve the water resistance and stain resistance of coatings. Additive Use Pigments, fillers, dispersants, leveling agents, defoamers, etc....

    1. Excellent Adhesion The polymer structure of water-based acrylic emulsion facilitates the flow and wetting of molecular chains on the substrate surface, resulting in close contact between the coating and the substrate molecules, achieving high adhesion. 2.High Pigment and Filler Loading Capacity, Significantly Reducing Costs Water-based acrylic emulsion has excellent filling properties, allowing the total solid content of the coating formulation to reach 60%. The ratio of resin to filler can reach 1:2, significantly reducing the formulation and application costs of water-based wood coatings. 3. Zero VOC, Safe and Environmentally Friendly Water-based acrylic emulsion itself contains no VOCs and can form a film at room temperature without the need for film-forming additives. Coatings using this formulation can have zero VOC content. 4. Excellent Water Resistance Water-based acrylic emulsion does not contain the surfactants used in ordinary acrylic emulsions and has specially designed hydrophobic groups. Therefore, water-based acrylic emulsion has excellent moisture resistance, preventing water molecules from penetrating the substrate after the paint film dries, achieving waterproof and moisture-proof effects. 5. Excellent Weather Resistance The molecular structure of water-based acrylic emulsion uses UV-stable monomer structures.  Furthermore, the emulsion is specially designed to allow for thorough and uniform dispersion of TiO2, reducing the impact of ultraviolet light on the emulsion and effectively protecting the substrate. 6. Excellent Pigment Dispersion Water-based acrylic emulsion has good compatibility with various water-based color pastes, maximizing the function of fillers and pigments, resulting in vibrant coating colors.
