Vinyl acetate/ethylene/vinyl ester terpolymer disp. with protective colloid (cellulose derivs.), surfactant emulsifier Uses Binder for syn. resin-bound plaster and exterior thermal insulation composite systems, low-odor interior emulsion paints, interior/exterior masonry coatings, silicate paints... 

Probably the best material for a mold is a vinyl ester resin tooling resin system, applied with a gel-coat and backed up with a suitable resin system, both with a heat distortion... 

This covers locations that are exposed to strong solvents, extreme pHs, oxidizing chemicals, or combinations thereof with high temperatures. The usual choice for coating these areas are epoxy novalacs, epoxy phenolics, and high build polyurethanes. Other special coatings such as the polyesters and vinyl esters may also be considered. However, these systems require special application considerations. 

The most common system comprised vinyl size, acrylic coating and epoxy ester varnish. This system was successfully modified to eliminate the use of size, but more recently, polyester coatings and varnishes have become the most commonly used systems, because of their greater flexibility.

A wide variety of other specialty monomers are also used to provide specialized performance properties for coating applications. For example, amine functional monomers can be used to improve adhesion to aged alkyd substrates. Specialized monomers can also be used to improve exterior durability, for example VEOVA (vinyl ester of vesatic acid) monomers can improve the hydrolysis resistance of vinyl acetate polymers, and n-butyl methacrylate can be used to enhance the durabiHty of BA-MMA acrylics. Polymer hydrophobicity can be fine tuned by varying the levels of hydrophobic and hydrophilic monomers in the composition and styrene or ethyl hexyl acrylate are used to increase film hydrophobicity and reduce water permeability in BA-MMA systems. Specialty monomers are also used to provide specific chemical functionality to polymer compositions. For example, hydroxyethyl methacrylate can be used to provide hydroxyl functionality to acrylic resins, allowing these polymers to be used in cross-linkable thermoset coatings which cure via melamine chemistry. While specialty monomers are used at relatively low levels in polymer compositions, they frequently provide the performance features needed for the successful application of emulsion polymers in many coating areas.
