When comparing the performance of polymer emulsions made with substituted styrene versus conventional styrene in direct-to-metal, wood coatings, concrete sealer, and FR/intumescent coating applications, the results demonstrate improved performance properties when the substitute is utilized.
A new report released by research firm MarketsandMarkets, titled Polymer Emulsion Market by Type (Acrylics, Polyurethane Dispersions, SB Latex, Vinyl acetate Polymer and Others), by Application (Adhesives & Sealants, Paints & Coatings, Paper & Paperboard, and Others) - Trends & Forecasts to 2020, projects that the market size of polymer emulsions will reach $32.2 billion by 2020.
