Emulsion resins are suspended in water and diluted with water. Both of them have usually a few auxiliary substances such as antifoam, thickener and emulsifier. In addition, these resins have less chemical resistance than solvent acrylic resins. Water-based acrylic resins can easily dissolve in water, but solvent-based resins dissolve in a specific solvent or a mixture of solvents.

Resin’s ability to contain all kinds of fillers, which is due to its high cracking power, together with its appropriate elasticity, has made it a base material for making other products. For example, it is used in production of white roof insulation, concrete insulation, waterproofing behind roofs, building mortars, tile adhesives, flexible coatings and waterproofing, and on all types of plaster, cement, concrete and other substrates, can be used inside and outside the building. The film obtained from this product is transparent, flexible, without cracking, with very high water resistance and surface adhesion

These resins have less chemical resistance than solvent acrylic resins. Some features of resins are as follows:

• High flexibility
• No color change over time
• Very high adhesion
• Low VOC

Water-based acrylic resins are used in many industries. They are environmentally friendly and, thus, a very suitable alternative for many solvent-based resins. This resin is used in production of cold traffic paint, industrial paints, construction paints, special wood coatings and waterproofing, textile industries, adhesive and paper industries, construction industries, detergent industries, cosmetics and health industries, leather industry, etc.
