The Role of Ionization in Creating Quality Polymers
Ionization is probably not something you think of on a daily basis, but it is perhaps the most integral part of the process Gellner Industrial uses to create its high quality polymers. Gellner Industrial creates a specific type of polymers referred to as acrylic polymers. Acrylic polymers belong to a group of specific polymers that are known as plastics, essentially. They are durable, flexible and resistant to breakage. They have a number of different applications. Often they are used in the cosmetic industry as an integral part of nail polish. A lot of the acrylic polymers Gellner creates are used […]
The Science Behind Gellner Industrial
There is a wealth of complex knowledge and information behind every water-based acrylic polymer Gellner Industrial creates. And while it’s not necessary to fully understand all of the science in order to be a consumer or enthusiast of Gellner Industrial products, it does help to realize just how high the quality of production is when you’re working with Gellner Industrial. Gellner Industrial creates water-based acrylic polymers for a variety of purposes, including: vinyl applications and printing processes. A polymer is a substance that has a molecular structure consisting principally or completely of a large number of similar units bonded together. […]
Our Polymer Products, Explained
At Gellner Indsutrial, we offer a wide range of products for all your acrylic polymer needs. You can check out our Product Guide to learn more about the acrylic resins and chemicals we offer. Read further for a more in-depth perspective of our product types and merchandise. Anionic Acrylic Polymers Anionic polymers are synthesized by a process called anionic polymerization. Anionic polymerization is a chain growth reaction which begins with an anion (an atom that has gained electrons and subsequently, has a negative charge). Various types of initiators are used in anionic polymerization. Anionic polymerization entails a set of reactions that take place […]
Acrylate Market Predicts Growth
Markets and Markets, a full-service market research company, recently published a report entitled “Acrylate Market by Chemistry (Butyl Acrylate, Ethyl Acrylate, Methyl Acrylate), Application (Paints & Coatings, Adhesives, Fabrics), End-use Industry (Packaging, Consumer Goods, Building & Construction, Automotive), Region – Global Forecast to 2022.” The title sounds like a different language, but the goal of the report was pretty simple: to define, describe and forecast the acrylate market. The acrylate market was valued at $6.86 Billion in 2016 and by 2022, is projected to reach $9.88 Billion. This is with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3 percent […]
An In-Depth Look at Printing Inks
Screen Printing Inks: Perhaps the most versatile printing ink is screen printing ink. In order to understand screen printing ink, it is important to first comprehend the process behind screen printing. Screen printing is a technique in which mesh is used to transfer ink onto a substrate. A blocking stencil makes desired areas impermeable to the ink, so a design can be created. A blade or squeegee moves across the screen to fill the mesh openings with ink. The most popular mesh in current use is made of polyester. Screen printing is used to manufacture a number of textiles and […]
VOCs: Volatile Organic Compounds
Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, are organic chemicals that easily turn to vapor at ordinary room temperature due to their high vapor pressure. These chemicals have a low boiling point, which causes a large number of molecules to sublimate or evaporate from their solid or liquid form and begin to enter the surrounding air, a characteristic known as volatility. A good example would be formaldehyde, which easily evaporates from paint due to its boiling point of only -2 degrees Fahrenheit. There are large assortment of various VOCs, and their presence is rather all around us. The list includes both man-made […]
