Is it normal for water-based acrylic emulsions to develop an odor after being stored for a period of time
- 2026-03-10 16:47:00
- admin
Sometimes, a slight ammonia smell is detected in water-based acrylic emulsions, which confuses many people: is this normal or is there a problem? First, we need to clarify that acrylic emulsions themselves do not produce an ammonia smell. However, during their production, ammonia-containing additives may be added to adjust their performance or improve their stability. These additives gra...

Basic Knowledge of Waterborne Polyurethane Emulsion Synthesis
- 2026-03-12 17:02:25
- admin
01 Polyurethane The structure of polyurethane is formed by the reaction of polyisocyanates (e.g., diisocyanate OCN-R-NCO) and polyols (e.g., diol HO-R-OH), where urethane segments are repeating structural units. Polyurethane structures have structures similar to amide and ester groups; therefore, the chemical and physical properties of polyurethane are between those of polyamides and polyesters. S...

What is the difference between pure acrylic emulsion and acrylic emulsion
- 2026-04-13 18:08:26
- admin
In the coatings industry, pure acrylic emulsion and acrylic emulsion (typically meaning styrene-acrylic) are two common waterborne binders. Their main differences lie in composition, performance, and application. 1. Composition Pure acrylic emulsion: Made from 100% acrylic monomers (e.g., butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate). Acrylic emulsion (styrene-acrylic): Copolymer of styrene and acrylic mon...
