What fields can acrylic resin materials be used in?
Acrylic resin materials are widely used in coatings, adhesives, plastics, textiles and other fields because of their unique properties. The following are some main application fields:
Coating field
Architectural coatings: used for decoration and protection of internal and external walls of buildings. Acrylic resin has good weather resistance, water resistance and decoration, which can keep the surface of the building beautiful, and at the same time play the roles of waterproof, moistureproof and corrosion prevention, and prolong the service life of the building.
Industrial coating: It can be used for surface coating of industrial products such as automobiles, ships and machinery. For example, automobile topcoat, acrylic resin coating can provide high gloss, good wear resistance and chemical corrosion resistance, so that the automobile surface has excellent appearance and protective performance.
Wood coatings: used for finishing furniture, wood floors and other wood products, which can form a hard, wear-resistant and transparent coating, which can not only protect wood, but also increase the aesthetics of wood products.
Adhesive field
Pressure sensitive adhesives: It is one of the important applications of acrylic resin in the field of adhesives. It has good adhesion and peeling strength, and is widely used in products such as adhesive tapes, labels and protective films. For example, common double-sided tape, medical tape, etc., acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive can be reliably adhered to different surfaces, and will not leave residual adhesive when removed.
Structural adhesive: structural adhesive can be prepared by modified acrylic resin, which is used to bond metals, plastics, ceramics and other materials. This kind of adhesive has high strength and water resistance, and can be used to connect key components in aerospace, automobile manufacturing and other fields.
Plastic field
Acrylic plastics: such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), commonly known as plexiglass, have high transparency, good mechanical properties and processability. Widely used in architectural lighting, advertising light boxes, optical instruments, electronic product shells and other fields. For example, the protective cover of mobile phone screen and the optical film of liquid crystal display are often made of PMMA.
Modification of plastics: Acrylic resin can be added to other plastics as a modifier to improve its properties. Such as improving the impact resistance of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and improving the printing performance of polypropylene (PP).
Textile field
Fabric coating: used for coating finishing of fabrics, which can give fabrics waterproof, windproof, breathable and ultraviolet-proof functions. For example, outdoor clothing, tents and other commonly used acrylic coated fabrics to improve their durability and functionality.
Textile adhesive: in the process of textile printing and dyeing, acrylic resin adhesive is used for printing paste, fabric bonding and so on. It can make the printed pattern clear and firm, and has little influence on the handle and breathability of the fabric.
Other fields
Ink field: acrylic resin is an important part of ink, which can provide good fluidity, dryness and adhesion. Widely used in the printing of paper, plastic, metal and other materials, such as book printing, packaging printing, circuit board printing and so on.
Dental materials: Some acrylic resin materials have good biocompatibility and mechanical properties, and can be used to make dentures, dental trays, dental restoration materials, etc.
Electronic materials: In the electronic industry, acrylic resin can be used to make insulating materials, electronic packaging materials, photoresists, etc. For example, acrylic resin in photoresist plays a key role in the manufacturing process of semiconductor chips and is used in patterning and etching processes.
