Aqueous acrylic styrene butadiene latexes: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent film formation in aqueous coatings leads to poor mechanical durability and substrate adhesion. Precise control over the styrene-acrylic and rubber polymer ratios stabilizes the latex morphology to ensure uniform coating performance.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Aqueous acrylic styrene butadiene latexes?

Substrate water sensitivity

(29)evidences

Standard aqueous polymer dispersions often suffer from poor resistance to liquid and particulate contaminants. Reducing stain adhesion and improving removal efficiency enhances the durability and aesthetic longevity of architectural coatings.

Insufficient substrate adhesion strength

(21)evidences

Incompatible polymer phases in hybrid latexes lead to weak mechanical bonds and film delamination. Improving interfacial integrity prevents structural failure in multi-component coatings.

Poor coating water resistance

(8)evidences

Aqueous polymer dispersions inherently suffer from sensitivity to moisture after application. Enhancing resistance to water degradation prevents coating failure and structural swelling.

Emulsion instability in alcoholic environments

(7)evidences

Inadequate bonding between water-based polymers and diverse surfaces leads to adhesive failure. Improving interfacial attachment ensures mechanical integrity in printing and labeling applications.
