  • Synthetic Latex Polymers versus Natural Rubber Latex

    Synthetic Latex Polymers versus Natural Rubber Latex

    Often, when manufacturers are sourcing and procuring raw materials, they like to investigate the differences between natural and synthetic alternatives. With some types of raw materials, sourcing natural products is almost always a better option. While there are certainly some good applications for... read more

    Film Formation of Latex Binders

    Understanding how a latex binder forms a film is critical to understanding how many modern products are made. That’s because so many products we use every day — coatings, adhesives, and composites — are made when wet latex is transformed into a final film material. Film formation is highly modifiabl... read more

    Latex Binders ----Polymer Design

    Chemists who make latexes generally start by understanding how the product will be used. That’s because the end-use application of an emulsion polymer has significant implications for how it’s designed. Knowing the end use helps the chemist develop the right recipe, with all of the right ingredient... read more

  • What routine performance inspections should be carried out by architectural coatings manufacturers for emulsions?

    What routine performance inspections should be carried out by architectural coatings manufacturers for emulsions?

    General architectural coating manufacturers should carry out the following routine performance inspections for the purchased emulsion. (1) General visual inspection of appearance. Observe the hue of the emulsion and whether there are particles and impurities. (2) Viscosity Since polymer emulsions a... read more

  • What is the minimum film forming temperature of the emulsion? What is the determining factor? How to measure?

    What is the minimum film forming temperature of the emulsion? What is the determining factor? How to measure?

    The lowest temperature at which a polymer emulsion can form a continuous transparent film is called the lowest film-forming temperature, usually expressed by MFT. The lowest film-forming temperature of emulsion is an important application index of emulsion. That is, below a certain temperature, aft... read more
