Emulsion polymer is a type of polymer that is obtained through emulsion of surfactants, monomer and water. The most common type of emulsion polymers are oil-in-water emulsion. Emulsion polymers have a high molecular weight that results in fast polymerization. Emulsion polymers are green products that lead to eco-friendly techniques of painting, coating, etc.
The growth of the emulsion polymer market is driven by the factors such as increase in pain and coating market, rapid rise in paper and paperboards markets. Government regulations regarding environmental protection is also contributing to the growth of the market. The major factor that is hampering the market is high price of raw materials. Raised awareness about the bio-based emulsion polymers and increased practice of using waterborne acrylic dispersion for anticorrosive coatings are expected to create lot of opportunities for the growth of the market.
