The pure acrylic emulsion belongs to the group of polymer emulsions. An emulsion is a stable mixture of components that do not mix well together. For example – oil and water can be mixed together, but after some time they settle down and separate. To force the water and acrylic polymer into a stable mixture, chemical emulsifiers are added until the water evaporates or gets absorbed. Usually, emulsions do not exhibit a static nature as they are liquids. Some other easy to identify examples of emulsions are – vinaigrettes, mayonnaise and homogenized milk.
Acrylic emulsion is a milky white polymer emulsion that is mainly produced when acrylic monomer undergoes polymerization by using an initiator in the presence of emulsifier with water as a solvent. Acrylic polymer emulsions are a water-based polymer that can be produced from methyl methacrylate, butyl acrylate, 2-Ethylhexyl acrylate, acrylic acid, methyl acrylate etc. polymers with specific attributes for a variety of applications or uses can be produced by choosing appropriate hard and soft monomers.
Acrylic polymer emulsionsand other water-based acrylic polymer products are used as important tools by industrial coating and graphic arts industries.
It also possesses excellent water resistance properties that make it useful in the textile industry, such as – for flannelette blankets, non-woven fabrics and lamination.
Selected acrylic polymer products are also used in civil engineering for – cement mortar, caulking and elastic cement.
Acrylic polymer emulsions are used for its various benefits like UV resistance, elongation balance, water resistance, good adhesion etc.
It can be used for making your own primer by diluting the emulsion paint with water by the ratio of 80/20.
Emulsion polymers are also used for coating fast food bags, wrappers and paper plates to make the paper oil and grease resistant.
