Classification of architectural latex paint (emulsion)
Pure acrylic emulsion: Acrylate homopolymer emulsion. Main features: Excellent adhesion, good lightfastness, weather resistance, no powdering, no degradation, no yellowing, transparent coating film, high gloss.
Silicone-acrylic emulsion: An organosilicone-acrylic copolymer emulsion. Characteristics: In addition to having the characteristics of pure acrylic emulsion, it also has good stain resistance, aging resistance and high-temperature resistance.
Styrene-acrylic emulsion: Its performance is close to that of pure acrylic, but its resistance to yellowing is not as good as that of pure acrylic.
Vinyl acetate-acrylic emulsion: A copolymer emulsion of vinyl acetate and acrylic acid. Characteristics: Good pigment adhesion, low price, and good hand feel. However, its resistance to hydrolysis and lightfastness are inferior to those of styrene-acrylic.
White emulsion: Polyvinyl acetate emulsion. Characteristics: It has good pigment adhesion, but the water resistance and alkali resistance of the coating film are poor. The coating film will lose flexibility and become brittle due to the loss of plasticizers in it.
