From Art to Industry: Exploring the Diverse Applications of Acrylic Resins
Acrylic resins are incredibly versatile, something that Gellner Industrial knows firsthand–we’ve developed a number of acrylic resins that serve many different applications in coatings, adhesives, sealants, printing inks, and much more. Over the years, we’ve been at the forefront of research and development for water-based acrylic emulsions and solutions, serving a variety of needs from manufacturers of hobby paints to those who develop high-performance industrial coatings.
Consumer and Industrial Paints
One of the major applications that our acrylic resins serve is as additives and pigment grinding vehicles for various paints and primers. Gellner’s products impart superior adhesion to any interior or exterior paints or primers, offering a long-lasting color, quality, and performance.
Our resins can be formulated to suit a variety of substrates, paint viscosities, environmental conditions, brilliance, and other important factors. Acrylic resins can also improve direct-to-metal paints and primers, wood primers, concrete coatings, and our Ottopol KO can even protect water-damaged surfaces.
Printing Inks
Printing inks are a crucial part of packaging, marketing, labeling, magazines and newspapers, and much more, and we’ve developed acrylic resins that are tailored to each of the unique needs of these applications. Our resins offer excellent benefits for a variety of printing inks, such as superior adhesion, sharp images, rich colors, and superior flow, hold-out, gloss, and solubility.
We’ve served many different types of printing as well, like screen printing, flexographic, and gravure, and develop resins that can be added to inks used on a wide range of substrates–banners, wallpaper, plastic, adhesive tapes, newspapers, disposable containers, and even the packaging found throughout grocery stores.
Heavy Duty Coatings
Acrylic resins also impart excellent properties like improved durability and environmental resistance to many different coatings used in industrial and construction applications. Things like concrete sealers, binders for exterior house and building paints, roof coatings, terrazzo and masonry sealers, and metallic traffic paints all benefit from the addition of our acrylic resins.
