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 a Water-based Acrylic Emulsion
- 2026-04-08 11:24:34
- admin
Water-based acrylic emulsion is a polymeric emulsion material that utilizes water as its dispersion medium. It is produced through an emulsion polymerization reaction involving vinyl monomers, primarily acrylic esters. Key Features: Environmental Friendliness: With water serving as the dispersion medium, it features extremely low levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs); it is no...

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...

How Waterborne Polymers Improve Flexographic Printing Quality
- 2026-05-07 14:50:35
- admin
In flexographic printing, the performance of waterborne polymers and resin systems directly affects ink stability, color consistency, adhesion, and production efficiency. Traditional water-based inks may cause anilox roller clogging during long production runs, leading to unstable ink transfer and interrupted printing. In comparison, UV flexographic inks cure instantly under UV light, helping redu...
