Less than 50 years ago, virtually all paint and other surface coating formulations were based on hydrocarbon solvents as the liquid phase. Following advances made in emulsion or latex polymer chemistry, resin systems became available which had the necessary properties of mechanical strength, durability and cost effectiveness such that today, emulsion paint dominates the decorative coatings area.
