Acrylamide Acrylics in Domestic Appliance Finishing

Acrylamide Acrylics in Domestic Appliance Finishing by N Tuck PhD BSc 

Domestic appliance enamels are not required to be flexible, nor indeed to be weather resistant. As a consequence resins are formulated with high styrene contents (for economy and hardness) and high levels of acrylamide in order to maximise the crosslink density of the cured film. High crosslink densities not only help film hardness, but also resistance to chemicals. 

Acrylamide based thermosetting acrylics for domestic appliance finishes offer  

Excellent film colour Excellent gloss Overbake colour retention 

High resistance to household chemicals, solvents, oils, fats.
