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 [...]
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 [...]

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. [...]
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 [...]
Everywhere you look, you see vinyl. A bus whizzes by you on the street, you walk into a fast food restaurant or walk into a suite in a corporate office building, it is all around you. Wiring and Cables Look around the room and you are bound to see lots of cables. A lot of [...]
It’s January, and it’s the time of year when everyone seems to be looking forward to all of the possibilities a new year can bring. Predictions abound in just about every industry, and they seem to cover a lot of different types of topics. At Gellner Industrial, we believe predictions signal hope for the future, and for [...]
