Paints & Coatings

Most types of acrylic paint contain one or more of the methacrylate products. This includes residential, commercial and industrial paints as well as powder coatings. The properties of the Methacrylic monomers allow coating polymer manufacturers to design end use coatings that can be applied with reduced emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that play a role in formation of smog. The methacrylic monomers allow paints and coatings to be made and easily applied while producing a long durable protective surface coating that will be long lasting as it is highly resilient to weather, sunlight and other factors that can cause failure of other types of coatings. This durable property is important in all applications but can be critical in some such as for roadway marking paints.
