Styrene-acrylic Polymers
Styrene-acrylic emulsion polymers are derived from a group of highly versatile chemicals known as acrylates, which include acrylic acid and its esters—such as methyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate. These acrylic monomers are known for their high reactivity, allowing them to readily polymerize either on their own or with other monomers to create commercially valuable polymers.
A key process in creating these materials is emulsion polymerization, where acrylic monomers react with styrene to form styrene-acrylic emulsion polymers. The strength of this polymer class lies in the broad variety of acrylic monomers available, which can be strategically combined with styrene to produce random copolymers with tailored glass transition temperatures (Tg).
Thanks to this flexibility, styrene-acrylic emulsions have become essential in countless applications—particularly in industries that rely on water-based systems—due to the wide range of performance characteristics they can offer.
Superior Performance with Styrene-Acrylic Polymers from Jedrsa Exports
At Jedrsa Exports, we specialize in delivering high-quality styrene-acrylic emulsion polymers that are engineered for performance across a wide range of industrial applications. These polymers are known for their excellent water resistance and moisture vapor transmission control, offering a clear advantage over traditional all-acrylic systems. Thanks to the inherently hydrophobic nature of styrene, our formulations achieve low particle sizes, making them ideal for use in construction primers, paper coatings, and high-performance binders.
Resin Supported Emulsions (RSE) – Advanced Versatility
We also offer Resin Supported Emulsions (RSE), a premium variant built on alkali-soluble resin technology. These emulsions feature a low minimum film formation temperature (MFFT) relative to their Tg, providing outstanding mechanical stability, high gloss, and efficient pigment and filler loading.
RSEs offer a more Newtonian flow behavior, ensuring easier handling and more predictable performance during application – particularly useful in high-volume production settings.
