Gellner Industrial is dedicated to keeping our customers updated on what’s new at our company and in our industry. Today, we are announcing that we are changing the name of the product formerly known as Wonderwet™ IV to Ottopol 25-25, in keeping with the rest of our products and our brand.
If you were to browse through Gellner’s website, you’ll likely notice that on many of our product pages, we have separated out our emulsion polymer products by whether or not they are cationic, anionic, or nonionic, with cationic and anionic being the most common categories. Emulsion polymers have a wide range of applications, from water treatment to personal care, and pharmaceuticals to our specialty, coatings and inks.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 cationic and anionic polymers. Gellner offers a wide range of products for all your acrylic polymer needs. However, we know that choosing the right polymer can be a difficult task with all the different products out there. While both categories of polymers have their advantages and […]
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 products WonderWet offers, describing them to you and telling you more about their uses and amazing qualities. Water-Based Acrylic Polymer Manufacturer Ottopol 25 25 is a water-soluble acrylic polymer resin designed to retard the drying rate of any water paint, printing ink or adhesive. WonderWet […]
The world of polymers is wide and varied, with many moving parts. There are hundreds of applications for our water based acrylic polymers in a variety of fields. A polymer, simply put, is a macromolecule comprised of many smaller molecules called monomers. These molecules react among themselves chemically to form long chain or three-dimensional networks. Both natural and synthetic polymers play a very important role in our day-to-day lives. The most commonly available polymer found in nature is cellulose, which is formed from the monomer glucose. Over 75% of most plant bodies are composed of cellulose. As an adhesive supplier and […]
Acrylic polymer, derived from the monomer methyl methacrylate (MMA), was first developed more than 60 years ago. Since then, formulations have extended the material’s performance range, resulting in varying levels of melt flow, impact resistance, colorability, gamma recovery, and other controlled characteristics. General-purpose acrylic grades contain a comonomer, added during the polymerization process, to facilitate flow during injection molding and extrusion. Specialty grades are formulated to perform in applications requiring high impact strength and heat resistance. UV-light-transmitting formulations are also available, and are specified for certain critical diagnostic equipment in which even slight UV absorption or variation in material flow […]
