Applicable Base Polymer Properties
Styrene-acrylic emulsion products for building and construction applications are water-based, emulsion copolymers of styrene and various acrylic monomers that are milky-white liquids with an ammonia or acrylic odor. They range from 40% to 60% solids depending on the product. They are used primarily in industrial and commercial applications as additives to adhesives, binders, concrete mixtures, coating mixtures, and/or sealing mixtures to improve or provide flexibility, heat sealability, salt stability, and/or water resistance.
