Waterborne dispersion paints

To summarise the comparison between alkyd trim paints and their waterborne counterparts, a lot of properties are provided by solventbome alkyd technology for which specific additives are required in waterborne dispersion paints. Frequently, the polar alkyd resins are capable of wetting and stabilising the pigment for which dispersing agents are needed in waterborne. 

Waterborne dispersion paints leading to clear transparent antistatic coatings have been developed and are presently undergoing practical evaluation [84. ... 

The appropriate amount of biocide carrier composition needed to yield a specified dry film concentration of biocide was added to a fixed quantity of waterborne acrylic paint and premixed using a high-speed disperser. This dispersion was then transferred to a Silverson-type mixer to obtain a finer dispersion. At this stage the influence of addition of silica or zeolite on the physical/mechanical properties of the paint film was assessed, though only minor changes in properties were noted, which could be eliminated by appropriate adjustments to the paint formulation. 

Acrylic emulsions, or better referred to as waterborne dispersion acrylic paints, were introduced in the 1950s and soon became the most used artists media because of their... 

The required application viscosity of waterborne emulsion paints is generally obtained by adding a small volume of water. The evaporation behavior of polymer dispersions is similar to that of conventional, solvent-based paints.

Waterborne dispersed polymers include both synthetic polymer dispersions and natural rubber. Synthetic polymer dispersions are produced by emulsion polymerization. A substantial part of the synthetic polymer dispersions is commercialized as dry products these include SBR for tires, nitrile rubbers, about 10% of the total PVC production, 75% of the total ABS and redispersable powders for construction materials. Carboxylated styrene-butadiene copolymers, acrylic and styrene-acrylic latexes and vinyl acetate homopolymer and copolymers are the main polymer classes commercialized as dispersions. The main markets for these dispersions are paints and coatings, paper coating, adhesives and carpet backing. 

According to Schulte and Hofer [18], typical waterborne latex paints for domestic exterior application usually contain about 30 wt.% water and about 15 wt.% of latex polymer together with about 0.3 wt.% dispersant (which presumably means... 

Despite a reputation for causing paint film defects, even polydimethylsiloxane-hydrophobed silica antifoams can also apparently find use in waterborne latex paints if certain preventive measures are applied (see, e.g., reference [28] and Section 9.3.2). It is tempting then to infer that, despite the complexity of waterborne latex paint formulations, the conventional oil-hydrophobed particle antifoams listed in Chapter 4 (Tables 4.A1 through 4.A3) find ready application in fhis context, albeit with additional components such as emulsifiers designed fo ease dispersal or structurants to ensure stability of the stored antifoam against sedimentation. Practical experience then implies that the rupture of foam films confaining high volume fractions of latex polymer particles by conventional antifoams is readily achieved. 

Table 9.8 shows the composition (FP 2019/1) of waterborne acrylic paints to which varying amounts of glycerolpropylsilyl-modified silica dispersion (Bindzil CC301) have been added to the binder formulation, i.e., the letdown. Positions 9-13 in Table 9.8 constitute the letdown in the paint formulation, whereas positions 1-8 constitute the mill base of the paint formulation. The reference formulation in table 9.8 does not contain any glycerolpropylsilyl-modified silica dispersion in the letdown [68]. 

Paints are often classified by the type of binder they include. The most common classifications (with percent of total coatings used m 1985) are Latexes (31%) waterborne (10%) noil-aqueous dispersions (2%) solvent-borne (55%) and one hundred percent sohds coatings (2%) A small volume of paint is made with silane binders.

Emulsions are dispersions of one fluid into another. Both oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions are encountered. Foams are similar to emulsions, but the dispersed phase is a gas. Emulsions are everywhere some examples of products that are based on emulsions are salad dressings, mayonnaise, egg yolk, milk, margarine, cream, ice cream, waterborne paints and bitumen. Emulsions are generally not stable, so they need to be stabilized against coalescence. One can use surfactants for that, or polymers, such as proteins and polysaccharides, or particles.

Thus, numerous low-emission paints have been developed, including high-solids paints, waterborne paints, aqueous dispersions for industrial use, powder coatings, and radiation-curing coatings. At the forefront in adopting these environmentally friendly products is heavy industry, in particular the automobile and household appliance industries. Medium-sized and smaller businesses will profit from this experience, adapting it for their own needs. 

Waterborne paints differ according to the nature of their stabilization in water the polymer molecules are dissolved in water or dispersed in water in the form of polymer dispersions or emulsion polymers. Recent developments include polymer particles formed in organic solvents and then emulsified in water with low or, more commonly, high molecular mass emulsifiers being used for internal or external emulsification. Internal emulsification denotes that part of the binder molecule functions as an emulsifying moiety, whereas for external emulsification separate emulsifiers are required.
