Production Technology
The production of styrene-acrylic emulsion high-durability coatings involves a multi-step process:
- Pre-emulsification: Mixing styrene, acrylic esters, emulsifiers, and water to form a stable emulsion.
- Polymerization: Initiating polymerization using initiators under controlled temperature and pressure conditions.
- Neutralization & Dilution: Adjusting the pH and diluting the polymer emulsion to the desired solids content.
- Formulation: Adding pigments, fillers, and additives to the emulsion to create the final coating formulation.
Theory
The durability and performance of styrene-acrylic emulsion coatings are attributed to the copolymerization of styrene and acrylic esters. Styrene enhances hardness, scratch resistance, and weatherability, while acrylic esters provide flexibility, adhesion, and water resistance. The resulting copolymer forms a dense, cross-linked film that resists degradation from environmental factors.
