Acrylic emulsion is an important chemical raw material, and its downstream products are mainly industrial coatings and packaging materials.

Acrylic emulsion, also known as water-based acrylic emulsion, refers to an emulsion made from the copolymerization of pure acrylic ester monomers. It is non-toxic and non-polluting. It appears as a milky white or nearly transparent viscous liquid and has excellent water resistance, weather resistance and water resistance. It has properties such as alkalinity, stain resistance, anti-corrosion, film-forming properties, and adhesion, and can be widely used in construction, papermaking, waterproofing, packaging, coatings, textiles and other fields.

Acrylic emulsion is an emulsion with small particle size, excellent performance and wide application. According to different product ingredients, it can be divided into silicone-acrylic emulsion, pure acrylic emulsion, styrene-acrylic emulsion, vinegar-acrylic emulsion, etc.; according to different structures, it can be divided into It is cationic acrylic emulsion, anionic acrylic emulsion, etc.; according to different properties and uses, it can be divided into waterproof emulsion, sealing emulsion, elastic emulsion, interior and exterior wall emulsion, real stone paint emulsion, etc.

Acrylic emulsion has become a key raw material for industrial coatings in my country due to its good properties and rich categories. As the downstream market continues to develop, its demand continues to increase. According to the “China Acrylic Emulsion Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center, In 2022, the domestic acrylic emulsion market sales have reached 4.258 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 8.3%. At the same time, as a type of green and environmentally friendly materials, water-based acrylic emulsion coatings are gradually replacing traditional oil-based coatings as the main category in the industrial coatings market, and market demand is expected to continue to grow in the future amid the continued advancement of domestic dual-carbon goals and the strengthening of environmental protection supervision.

In addition, in the field of packaging, acrylic emulsion can meet the environmental protection, wear resistance, and moisture-proof requirements of paper packaging and soft plastic packaging printing. It has been widely used in paper bonding, plastic-plastic composite, paper-plastic composite and other scenarios. In recent years, pressure-sensitive adhesives and tapes produced with acrylic emulsion as raw materials have become key adhesive materials required in the fields of logistics and express packaging. The market demand for acrylic emulsion is broad.

There are many acrylic emulsion manufacturers in my country, mainly including Badfu Group, Jiangsu Sunrise Chemical, Hengshui Xinguang New Materials, Shanghai Baolijia Chemical, Guangdong Jiajing Technology, Jiangsu Jinghua New Materials, Zhejiang Ruigao New Materials, Guangdong Henghe Yongsheng, Huangshan Companies such as Liangu New Materials have low industry concentration.

Industry analysts said that acrylic emulsion is an important environmentally friendly chemical raw material and has been implemented in the fields of industrial coatings and packaging materials. Widely used, the market shows good development prospects. But at the same time, acrylic emulsion still has many technical problems that need to be solved, such as the low hardness of the one-component acrylic emulsion coating and the serious flash rust problem of acrylic emulsion. In the future, domestic acrylic emulsion companies will need to increase technology research and development efforts and continuously expand the development space of acrylic emulsions. The industry has huge room for growth.
