Acrylic resin

　　Main Application Areas

　　The applications of acrylic resins cover multiple sectors of the national economy, with the coatings industry being the largest consumer market (accounting for over 60%). Specific applications are as follows:

　　1. Coatings Sector

　　Coating Type Resin Type Used Application Scenarios Core Requirements

　　Automotive Coatings Hydroxyl Acrylic Resin OEM Paint (Primer, Topcoat), Refinish Paint (Varnish) High Weather Resistance, High Gloss, Scratch Resistance, Chemical Resistance

　　Architectural Coatings Water-based Carboxyl Acrylic Resin Interior/Exterior Latex Paint, Textured Paint Washable, Stain Resistant, Environmentally Friendly Low VOC

　　Industrial Anti-corrosion Coatings Epoxy-based/Hydroxyl Acrylic Resin Steel Structures, Pipelines, Containers Salt Spray Resistance, Acid/Alkali Resistance, Strong Adhesion

　　Furniture Coatings Hydroxyl Acrylic Resin Solid Wood Furniture PU Paint, Panel Furniture UV Curing Paint High Hardness, Easy Repair, Fine Hand Feel

　　2. Plastics and Rubber Sector

　　Thermoplastic Acrylic Resin: Used to produce "Acrylic" (PMMA, Polymethyl Methacrylate) sheets, pipes, and injection molded parts (e.g., mobile screen protectors, lamp housings), featuring high transparency, impact resistance, and ease of processing.

　　Modifiers: Used as toughening agents or gloss enhancers for rubber or plastics to improve product flexibility and surface gloss (e.g., modified PVC pipes).

　　3. Adhesives and Inks Sector

　　Adhesives: Thermoplastic acrylic resins dissolved in solvents are used to make pressure-sensitive adhesives (e.g., clear tape, label glue), or combined with curing agents to make structural adhesives (for bonding metals, plastics), offering both tackiness and aging resistance.

　　Inks: Used as the "vehicle" in inks to disperse pigments and enhance adhesion, used for printing on plastic films (BOPP, PET) and metal cans, requiring rub resistance and solvent resistance.

　　4. Other Sectors

　　Electronic Materials: Epoxy acrylate is used in UV-curable insulating coatings and photoresists to protect electronic components and improve temperature resistance.

　　Leather and Textiles: Water-based acrylic resins are used for leather finishing (enhancing gloss and abrasion resistance) and fabric coatings (waterproofing, stain resistance).
