Vinyl paint

The homopolymer of vinyl acetate is not used as an engineering polymer but for adhesives and water-based emulsion paints (vinyl acetate is used as a minor comonomer for the copolymerization of PVC/VAC). 

The general population may be exposed to di- -butyl phthalate from the air, water, and some foods. Air is probably the main source of di- -butyl phthalate exposure for the general population, but some exposure may come from dairy products, frsh, and seafood. Occupational exposures can occur through skin contact and by inhalation of vapors and dust. It is not known if exposure of children to di- -butyl phthalate differs from that of adults. Di- -butyl phthalate is present in some home furnishings, paints, vinyl flooring and floor wax however, it is not known if children are more likely than adults to be exposed by increased contact with or proximity to these items. Children may also intentionally or unintentionally ingest soil, which may contain low levels of di- -butyl phthalate.

In some polymer families, copolymerization with more flexible comonomer units is very effective in producing the amount of flexibility desired. Major commercial examples are ethylene/propylene rubber, styrene/butadiene plastics and latex paint, vinyl chloride/ vinyl acetate plastics, vinyl acetate/acrylic ester latex paints, and methyl methacrylate/ acrylic ester plastics and latex paints.

Resins formed from the reaction of poly(vinyl alcohol) with aldehydes. The formal derivative (from methanal) is used in wire coatings and adhesives and the bulyral (from butanal) is used in metal paints, wood-sealers, adhesives and in safety glass interlayers. 

The principal end use of acetic acid is m the production of vinyl acetate for paints and adhesives... 

Poly(vinyl acetate) is used in latex water paints because of its weathering, quick-drying, recoat-ability, and self-priming properties. It is also used in hot-melt and solution adhesives. 

Most of the acetic acid is produced in the United States, Germany, Great Britain, Japan, France, Canada, and Mexico. Total annual production in these countries is close to four million tons. Uses include the manufacture of vinyl acetate [108-05-4] and acetic anhydride [108-24-7]. Vinyl acetate is used to make latex emulsion resins for paints, adhesives, paper coatings, and textile finishing agents. Acetic anhydride is used in making cellulose acetate fibers, cigarette filter tow, and ceUulosic plastics. 

Emulsion Adhesives. The most widely used emulsion-based adhesive is that based upon poly(vinyl acetate)—poly(vinyl alcohol) copolymers formed by free-radical polymerization in an emulsion system. Poly(vinyl alcohol) is typically formed by hydrolysis of the poly(vinyl acetate). The properties of the emulsion are derived from the polymer employed in the polymerization as weU as from the system used to emulsify the polymer in water. The emulsion is stabilized by a combination of a surfactant plus a coUoid protection system. The protective coUoids are similar to those used paint (qv) to stabilize latex. For poly(vinyl acetate), the protective coUoids are isolated from natural gums and ceUulosic resins (carboxymethylceUulose or hydroxyethjdceUulose). The hydroHzed polymer may also be used. The physical properties of the poly(vinyl acetate) polymer can be modified by changing the co-monomer used in the polymerization. Any material which is free-radically active and participates in an emulsion polymerization can be employed. Plasticizers (qv), tackifiers, viscosity modifiers, solvents (added to coalesce the emulsion particles), fillers, humectants, and other materials are often added to the adhesive to meet specifications for the intended appHcation. Because the presence of foam in the bond line could decrease performance of the adhesion joint, agents that control the amount of air entrapped in an adhesive bond must be added. Biocides are also necessary many of the materials that are used to stabilize poly(vinyl acetate) emulsions are natural products. Poly(vinyl acetate) adhesives known as "white glue" or "carpenter s glue" are available under a number of different trade names. AppHcations are found mosdy in the area of adhesion to paper and wood (see Vinyl polymers). 

Cblorina.ted Pa.ra.ffins, The term chlotinated paraffins covers a variety of compositions. The prime variables are molecular weight of the starting paraffin and the chlorine content of the final product. Typical products contain from 12—24 carbons and from 40—70 wt % chlorine. Liquid chlotinated paraffins are used as plasticizers (qv) and flame retardants ia paint (qv) and PVC formulations. The soHd materials are used as additive flame retardants ia a variety of thermoplastics. In this use, they are combiaed with antimony oxide which acts as a synergist. Thermal stabilizers, such as those used ia PVC (see vinyl polymers), must be used to overcome the inherent thermal iastabiUty. 

The principal chemical markets for acetylene at present are its uses in the preparation of vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate, and 1,4-butanediol. Polymers from these monomers reach the consumer in the form of surface coatings (paints, films, sheets, or textiles), containers, pipe, electrical wire insulation, adhesives, and many other products which total biUions of kg. The acetylene routes to these monomers were once dominant but have been largely displaced by newer processes based on olefinic starting materials. 

AppHcation of an adhesion-promoting paint before metal spraying improves the coating. Color-coded paints, which indicate compatibiHty with specific plastics, can be appHed at 20 times the rate of grit blasting, typically at 0.025-mm dry film thickness. The main test and control method is cross-hatch adhesion. Among the most common plastics coated with such paints are polycarbonate, poly(phenylene ether), polystyrene, ABS, poly(vinyl chloride), polyethylene, polyester, and polyetherimide. 

Vinyl acetate is another monomer used in latex manufacture for architectural coatings. When copolymerized with butyl acrylate, it provides a good balance of cost and performance. The interior flat latex paint market in North America is almost completely dominated by vinyl acetate—acryHc copolymers. Vinyl acetate copolymers are typicaHy more hydrophilic than aH-acryHc polymers and do not have the same ultraviolet light resistance as acryHcs as a result. 

Vinyl resins ie, copolymers of vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate which contain hydroxyl groups from the partial hydrolysis of vinyl acetate and/or carboxyl groups, eg, from copolymerized maleic anhydride, may be formulated with alkyd resins to improve their appHcation properties and adhesion. The blends are primarily used in making marine top-coat paints.
