Acrylic Polymers for Chemical Resistance Gellner's acrylic polymers for corrosion and alkali resistance When it comes to coatings for outdoor, industrial, or similar applications, an important characteristic that these coatings often require is chemical resistance. This term can be used to cover a wide range of resistances. In this article, we’ll cover two of [...]
In previous blog posts, we’ve so far covered anionic and cationic polymerization, as well as the benefits of polymers developed through these processes. In this article, we’re going to go over crosslinking resins and polymers. What is crosslinking? Crosslinking at its most basic is just the linking of two different polymer chains through a [...]
In previous blog posts, we’ve gone over the nature of polymers and polymerization, as well as their wide range of applications. This time, we’re going to go over the role of emulsion polymers in the general Paint industry. Emulsion Polymers: A quick overview Emulsion polymers are dispersions of polymers in water with a specific [...]
When it comes to acrylic resins, the most common and widely used resins tend to be anionic. We’ve discussed in previous articles how anionic and cationic polymers differ in their properties and uses. While both are useful for paint primers and inks, anionic resins are easier to develop since there aren’t many monomers that [...]
The Different Applications of Flexographic and Gravure Inks Flexo and Gravure inks can be found in many different parts of the printing world. We have covered what these two versatile and prolific water-based inks are and how they work in previous articles. Now, we’re going to take a closer look at the specific applications [...]
A Quick Overview Emulsion acrylic polymers are a versatile and vital part of paints, coatings, and inks, and other diverse applications in industries ranging from engineering to avionics to biomedical and drug delivery systems. The most common categories of polymers found in real-world applications, and the most common ones that Gellner works with, are [...]
What is gravure printing? To understand rotogravure printing, a brief primer of intaglio is required. Intaglio is the process used in printing and printmaking in which an image is incised into a surface and where the incised line – or sunken area – holds the ink. There are many applications for intaglio, such as the [...]
Here at Gellner Industrial, we offer a wide range of products to help you with all your vinyl application and printing ink needs. Additionally, Gellner Industrial, LLC is the premier manufacturer of water based acrylic polymers. One of our most popular lines of products is WonderWet. In this blog post, Gellner Industrial dives into the [...]
Our water-based acrylic polymers are used for a wide variety of applications that span multiple industries. Gellner Industrial’s water-based acrylic polymers are used in many ink solutions, such as Flexographic and Gravure inks. Flexographic inks are primarily used in the process of flexography to print ink on materials such as plastic bags, newspapers, catalogues, food [...]
Gellner Industrial is a world-wide leader in the development and production of water-based acrylic polymers, synthetic resins, hydroxyl functional acrylic polymers, and WonderWet, which is a VOC free 100% acrylic solution polymer additive for paints that enables the elimination of ethylene and propene glycol from existing paint formulations. WonderWet allows paint chemists to formulate low [...]
