• Acrylic resins are the most widely used polymers in the paints and coatings industry. Most acrylic paints are water- or solvent-based and are available as emulsions (latices), lacquers (lower volume solids), enamels (higher volume solids), and powders (100% solids).
• Common acrylic polymers come in a wide variety of types and combinations, such as methyl and butyl methacrylate.
• The two principal forms of acrylic used are thermoplastic and thermoset. Thermoplastics acrylic resins are synthetic resins achieved by the polymerization of different acrylic monomers. Thermosets are cured at elevated temperatures by reacting with other polymers.​
• Acrylic resin has major performance advantages, such as gloss, exterior durability, corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, solvent resistance, and hardness.​
• Application of acrylic coatings is primarily found in the construction industry for high-end finishing in roofs, decks, bridges, floors, and other applications. Water-based acrylic coatings are high in demand due to the environmental concerns, like the negative impact of VOCs affecting the air quality.
