Results for tag: "Polymer Emulsion"

Polymer emulsions are a type of plastic that are formed when a polymer is dispersed in a liquid medium. They are used in a variety of applications, including coatings, adhesives, sealants, and printing inks. Polymer emulsions are typically composed of a polymer, a surfactant, and a stabilizer. The polymer is responsible for the physical properties of the emulsion, while the surfactant and stabilizer help to keep the emulsion stable. Polymer emulsions are used in a variety of industries, including automotive, construction, and packaging. They are used to provide protection against corrosion, UV radiation, and other environmental factors. They are also used to improve the adhesion of coatings and adhesives, and to improve the durability of printed materials. Polymer emulsions are available in a variety of forms, including water-based, solvent-based, and hot-melt. They are also available in a range of viscosities, from low to high. Some companies in the polymer emulsion market include BASF, Dow Chemical, Evonik Industries, and Wacker Chemie. Show Less Read more
