WATER-BASED POLYMER dispersions are used in many applications including protective coatings.

WATER-BASED POLYMER dispersions are used in many applications including protective coatings, paper coatings, binders for textile printing or for non-woven fabrics and adhesives. In many areas they enter the lists with solvent-based polymers. However, these solvent-based formulations are coming in subordination to increasing pressure from environmental legislation looking to decrease proces emissions, in particular volatile organic amalgamates (VOCs).

In global names around 2 million tons of polymer are produc annually via emulsion polymerization or other heterogeneous polymerization processe The cessation product of emulsion polymerization is a dispersion of particles in water, otherwise known as latex. Surfactants play a crucial part ...
