Acrylate emulsion is a water-based dispersion of acrylic polymers or copolymers, formed through emulsion polymerization, where monomers (e.g., 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, methyl acrylate) are dispersed in water using surfactants and polymerized with initiators. This process results in stable, milky liquids with particle sizes typically ranging from 50 to 500 nanometers, offering advantages such as low VOC content, easy application, and compatibility with water-based additives. Key properties of acrylate emulsions include excellent adhesion to various substrates, flexibility, and resistance to water, chemicals, and UV radiation, making them suitable for adhesives, coatings, textiles, and paper processing. They are the primary raw material for water-based pressure-sensitive adhesives used in packaging tapes, labels, and medical tapes, providing adjustable tack and peel strength. In coatings, they enhance film formation, gloss, and durability, used in architectural paints, wood finishes, and industrial coatings. E Plus Chemical Co., Ltd. produces acrylate emulsions with an annual capacity of 240,000 tons, utilizing fully automated production lines and advanced catalytic polymerization to ensure consistent particle size, viscosity, and solids content. These emulsions can be customized through OEM services to adjust properties like hardness, elasticity, and adhesion, meeting specific customer requirements for diverse applications.
