Emulsion of some monomers for application in paint technology

In this work, self-crosslinked acrylate emulsion with high elasticity was prepared via pre-emulsified and semi-continuous seeded emulsion polymerization technology by using N hydroxyl methyl acrylamide as self-crosslinked monomer and poly solidum maleate as protective colloid. Possible cross-linked mechanism of self-crosslinked monomer was put forward. In addition, the rheological properties of the prepared acrylate emulsion were analyzed. Emulsion paints were formulated using this prepared acrylic polymer emulsion. The formulated paints were characterized for physico-chemical properties such as viscosity, hot box stability, gloss, gloss retention, opacity, scrub resistance, colour, adhesion etc., which yielded positive results, and revealed that the paints could be used as both indoor and outdoor coatings.
