Product Description
Styrene acrylate copolymers are used as binder for interior and exterior paints due to their outstanding pigment binding properties. Styrene acrylate copolymers offer ideal gloss, film strength, durability and resistance to removal by detergents. Coatings based on styrene acrylate emulsions display excellent U.V stability and resistance to water, and alkalis. It is important to note that increasing the styrene content in styrene/acrylic copolymers may impair the water absorption and elasticity of the film. These coatings require very low maintenance as they have low tendency to pick up dirt and show good film flexibility and hardness. Styrene acrylate copolymers are considered as a significant component of floor finishes. Majorly used in architectural/decorative paints for interior and exterior wall coatings, gloss paints for kitchen and bath, faades etc. followed by the wood and furniture industry.
Emulsion Polymers Selection for Paints and Coatings Emulsion Polymers are tremendously versatile! They have vast chemistries and provide low cost, low emissions, zero VOC, good shelf-life, freeze-thaw stability, and potential sustainability in many coating formulations. Due to these benefits, the emulsion polymers are increasingly used in paints and coatings to serve growing needs in diverse sectors and applications.
