What are the commonly used solvents for acrylic resin?
Release time:2023-04-17
Solvent is an important component of acrylic resin. Good solvents can make the resin clear and transparent, reduce viscosity, and improve the film-forming performance of the resin and its coatings.
According to the principle of similar solubility, toluene, xylene, alcohols, esters, ketones, etc. are commonly used solvents. When choosing, the cost, volatilization rate, toxicity, and other factors of the solvent should be considered.
In order to obtain resins with higher solid content and low viscosity, chain transfer agents are often used. Common ones include dodecyl mercaptan, 2-mercaptoethanol, 3-mercaptoprolol, mercaptopropionic acid, mercaptosuccinic acid, 3-mercaptopropionic acid-2-hydroxyethyl ester, etc. Usually, in chain regulators, as the carbon chain grows, the chain regulatory function enhances and reaches its maximum value at twelve carbons. The further growth of the carbon chain leads to a decrease in its ability to regulate the chain.

In addition, although different chain regulators can be used to produce resins with similar apparent viscosity, the molecular weight distribution range is not the same. The fullness of the paint film also varies after painting. In terms of the fullness of the paint film, using dodecyl mercaptan as a chain regulator is preferred.
