The article focuses on the use of bio-based polymers by manufacturers for sustainable coatings. Topics include the primary criteria in developing sustainable monomers such as performance, availability, and cost, the things to consider for selecting the prototype systems for emulsion polymerizers, and the evaluation of application properties of the acrylic and renewable binder (RB) prototypes.

The article discusses Cardura#8482; E10P glycidyl ester technology for production of high-performance waterborne acrylic polyols (APOs). Topics discussed include the use of versatility of Cardura#8482; E10P glycidyl ester, conventional synthesis of APOS, and the use of the glycidyl ester for acrylic polyol synthesis.

The article discusses the study on the effects of various curing methods on tack-free curing. The study evaluates the use of broadband mercury and electron beam (EB) curing across a range of different acrylic formulations, in which the formulations were cured on a conveyor system using a Heraeus F300 light. The study reveals significant increase in the maximum belt speed when the photoinitiator concentration is increased.

In this article, the author focuses on floor covering adhesives. He informs that standard acrylic adhesives works in most situations and epoxy adhesives works in two-component systems. He also mentions that high pH levels can break down floor coverings and informs that the Eco-5500 adhesive from DriTac Flooring Products LLC can be used to install planks and tiles.

The article explores an evaluation of surfactant during the preparation of acrylic ultrafine latexes. The authors used four types of surfactants in their investigation, with the DowFax 2A1 (DPOS) selected as the control while the other three are AEROSOL surfactants from Cytec Industries. A preparation of acrylic seed batches of 2% solids was used to test the surfactants. They conclude that paints prepared using the AEROSOL 22 and AEROSOL 18P produced excellent block resistance properties.

The article offers information on the use acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives across diverse industries. It states that acrylic tapes meet the requirements of application for chemical cleanliness and can be shaped accurately to fit various drive configurations. It states that acrylic adhesive tapes attach securely stiffeners and sound-damping foams in washing machines and dishwashers, reducing vibration and noise.

The article provides an answer to a question of failure in the acrylic emulsion production batch which led to contents of Polly Mertz's first scale-up of a new emulsion polymer boiling out of a 500-gallon reactor.

The article provides an answer to question concerning the behavior of reactive acrylics and anaerobics when it comes to curing and heat resistance, as compared with epoxies.

The article focuses on a study which examines the ability to measure a single protective coating of an acrylic substrate using a ShimadzunUV-2600 UV-Vis spectrophotometer with five degree relative specular reflectance accessory and film thickness software. It concluded that the thickness of the protective coating can be determined using the film thickness software.

The article presents questions and answers related to adhesive products including the safe adhesive bond that break plastics, the use of epoxy adhesive for bolting and stainless steel panel replacement, and the components of reactive acrylics.

The article focuses on convex mirrors viewing angles that are important for the clarity of images seen on them. It states that 180 degree viewing of these mirrors have a view in which from three sides of different direction is seen with more clarity than standard dome shaped mirrors. It informs that these mirrors are made up of acrylic usually but special mirrors are made of Polycarbonate and Polyethylene Terepthalate Glycol (PETG).

The article provides an answer to a question on what type of monomers to use in formulating acrylic adhesives.

The article offers brief information on the Quick-Slope modified acrylic cementitous material from Garland Co. Inc.
