Acrylic Resins to Dominate the Market
- Acrylic resins are polymeric materials containing acrylic monomers in the form of dispersion, solids, and solution. These monomers are usually esters of methacrylic acids, acrylics, and other derivatives.
- The two principal forms of acrylics used are thermoplastic and thermoset. Thermoplastic acrylic resins are synthetic resins achieved by polymerizing different acrylic monomers. Thermoset acrylic resins are cured at elevated temperatures by reacting with other polymers. Thermoplastic acrylic resins are of two types: solution acrylics and acrylic latex coatings. These thermoplastic acrylic resins are used for architectural coatings applications.
- Thermoset acrylic resins are used in product finishes for metal furniture coatings, automotive topcoats, maintenance coatings, appliances, and other original equipment manufacturing finishes. They have significant performance advantages regarding gloss, exterior durability, corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, solvent resistance, and hardness.
- Acrylic resins develop properties such as transparency, high color ability, and UV resistance in coating solutions. They are often used in waterborne systems, which results in low VOC emissions. The demand for Waterborne acrylic resins is increasing are environmentally friendly products that can reduce odor and solvents used in paint.
- The application of acrylic coatings is primarily found in the construction industry for high-end finishing in roofs, decks, bridges, floors, and other applications. The UAE Ministry of Infrastructure Development launched 36 projects, including federal road and maintenance projects and developments in security, education, health, and services, at the cost of USD 2.7 billion. The projects include the construction and maintenance of federal roads will be carried out under a budget of USD 920.3 million. The implementation and maintenance of the government buildings will be done at the cost of USD 1.8 billion, while the budget allocated for four road implementation projects is USD 212.3 million.
- Owing to the abovementioned factors, demand for acrylic resin type will likely dominate the market studied over the coming years.
