Improve adhesion with high open time acrylic emulsions

Improve adhesion with high open time acrylic emulsions

Friday, 14 January, 2022

The 36XX family – acrylic emulsions from Alberdingk Boley – boasts unique technology, providing it with improved properties compared with those presented by traditional acrylic emulsions. The latter use conventional surfactants – both anionic and nonionic – to stabilise the resin particles. These have a tendency to migrate, which causes adhesion problems and water sensitivity etc.

In contrast, the 36XX family uses hydrophilic polymeric surfactants, which are stable in aqueous mediums, and are anchored to the resin particle. In this way, we avoid their migration, and, therefore, potential adhesion problems.

With the electrosteric stabilisation obtained with these polymeric surfactants, we achieve greater repulsion between particles, resulting in:
 

  • Longer open times
  • More Newtonian rheology
  • High water resistance
  • Improved adhesion
  • High blocking resistance

In addition to the properties mentioned, these emulsions are characterised by having high transparency and clarity in the can.
