Classification of Acrylic Resin Paints

Acrylic coatings serving protective and decorative functions on steel structures and concrete surfaces primarily come in two types: solvent-based and water-based acrylic coatings. However, acrylic emulsion paints suitable for concrete surfaces are not applicable to steel structures.

Acrylic topcoats primarily refer to coatings based on thermoplastic acrylic resin monomers, which form films solely through solvent evaporation during drying. Characterized by low volume solids content (around 35%), single-component application, and poor solvent resistance, they serve as anti-corrosion topcoats over coatings like Chlorinated Rubber and epoxy resins but are unsuitable for alkyd resin surfaces.

Acrylic-amino baked paints are primarily used as original equipment manufacturer (OEM) automotive paints, enamel paints for motorcycles and home appliances, base coats in multi-layer metallic flake paints, and clear topcoats.

Acrylic polyurethane coatings combine hydroxy acrylic resins with isocyanate-containing diisocyanates. This blend leverages the excellent volatilization and film-forming properties of acrylic coatings with the outstanding film characteristics derived from isocyanate crosslinking. Acrylic polyurethane coatings are primarily used as topcoats in automotive, wood furniture, architectural, and steel structure applications.

Acrylic emulsion paints constitute the main category in the architectural coatings industry, with primary products including pure acrylic, styrene-acrylic, and silicone-acrylic formulations.

Water-based acrylic coatings, as referenced here, primarily refer to products suitable for steel structure corrosion protection, mainly comprising water-based acrylic primers and water-based Acrylic Topcoats.
