Acrylic Coatings; Water-Soluble Fast-Drying Paint Made of Pigment Suspended in Acrylic Polymer Emulsion
Acrylic coatings can be used in organic waterborne, solvent-borne, radiation-curable, or powder formulations. They are water-soluble fast-drying paint made of pigment suspended in acrylic polymer emulsion. Most acrylic paints are water-based but become water-resistant when dry. Acrylic coatings are mainly used in architectural, or decorative, finishes, and to coat industrial goods. Due to their excellent durability and weatherability as coating materials, they are often used in applications such as automotive, architectural, and plastic coatings.
Acrylic
coatings are also known for their inertness and excellent color retention when
exposed to outdoor conditions. Acrylic is a synthetic resin used to make
durable, high-quality coatings or paintings. Furthermore, acrylic coatings
offer excellent chemical and mechanical resistance, along with ease of use for
a variety of applications. Acrylic waterproof coatings are a modified acrylic
hybrid system that has many uses like water tanks, swimming pools, waterproofing
of toilets, roofs, sunken portions, asbestos roofs, terraces, china chips
terraces, etc.
Acrylic
coatings are also widely used on glass objects because they resist
fingerprints, dirt, and smudges. However, this doesn't mean that it will always
stick easily. Acrylic coatings are used in various end-use industries to
protect and waterproof components. They are often used in roofing to waterproof
roofs and repair gaps and cracks. The durability and reflectivity of acrylic
coating make it a high-value, cost-effective option, prolonging the life of the roof and lowering the temperature in the building; which in turn reduces energy
consumption.
Among
other advantages, Acrylic
Coatings are eco-friendly, have low odor, quicker drying time, water
resistance, and are also resistant to corrosion. This means acrylic coatings
are a preferred choice for both internal and external use, and thus, there is
an increase in demand for acrylic coatings worldwide. In April 2022, Engineered
Polymer Solutions (EPS) launched EPS 2436, a new self-crosslinking acrylic
dispersion for use as a binder for high-quality wood coatings. In February
2021, Golden Artist Colors, New York (US), introduced a new line of products
called SoFlat Matte Acrylic colors.
