A specific class of surfactant called an emulsifier is frequently employed to maintain the uniform distribution of an emulsion (a mixture of immiscible fluids). The hydrophilic (water-loving) and hydrophobic (water-hating) ends of emulsifiers are opposites.
In order to prevent the oil molecules from “Clumping” together, the emulsifiers will surround an oil (or other immiscible molecule) and create a barrier around it. This process helps to maintain the emulsion’s characteristics by keeping the dispersed phase in tiny droplets.
Tiny polymer particles that make up emulsion paint contain pigments that are sealed inside. The particles are initially suspended in water, and as the paint dries, the particles combine to form a paint film on the wall.
Because of this, once a water-based emulsion paint has dried, it cannot be washed back off the wall because the polymer can no longer be resuspended in water.
Emulsion paint is generally reserved for use on interior walls and ceilings. The most typical kind of interior paint is this one. Either freshly plastered walls or interior walls that have already been painted can be painted with emulsion paint.
Use an all-purpose primer on freshly plastered walls before applying your chosen emulsion paint colour because new plaster tends to soak it up. By doing this, one can avoid applying additional coats of paint and save time.
Emulsion cannot therefore be used to paint wood. Emulsion paint shouldn’t be used on wood or metal; instead, use a different type of paint made specifically for such materials, which adheres better and produces a more durable finish. There is no one size fits all when it comes to paint.
The Global Paint emulsifier market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
For application in industrial coatings, paints, or binders, Solvay will introduce a reactive aqueous emulsifier for solid epoxy resins.
An alkylphenol ethoxylates-free (APE) and non-ionic reactive water-based emulsifier for solid epoxy resins has been created by Solvay and is mostly used in industrial coatings, paints, or binders.
With a noticeably lower level of volatile organic compounds than solvent-based (SB) coatings, high-performance waterborne epoxy-based coatings can match or even outperform them thanks to Solvay’s innovative and adaptable Reactsurf 0092 technology (VOCs).
In order to meet the regulatory requirements for safer, healthier paints and coating formulas that its clients will face today and in the future, Solvay is consistently creating and supplying products.
The new emulsifier provides simple handling by integrating the typical exterior and internal emulsification phases without the need for any further chemical modification. It is also cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and processing friendly.
Reactsurf 0092 by Solvay is a highly reactive emulsifier that perfectly balances and synergizes emulsification and epoxidation to produce a highly reactive emulsifier. This provides great application performance and emulsion stability for paints and coatings.
It also offers outstanding particle size management for optimal emulsion coalescence and consistency without reducing strength.
