1. What is the Emulsion

What is the Emulsion

An emulsion is a mixture of two immiscible substances. One substance (the dispersed phase) is stably dispersed in the other (the continuous phase) by a dispersed effect of the surfactant.

2. Comparison of particle size

Comparison of particle size

3. Characteristic of polymer emulsion

Characteristic of polymer emulsion

4. Characteristic of polymer emulsion

Characteristic of polymer emulsion

5. Physical and General properties of emulsion

Physical properties of emulsion

Solid content, Viscosity, pH,
Free monomer, Grits, Particle size,
Particle size distribution, Sedimentation,
Toluene insoluble parts, Tg, MFT

General properties of emulsion

  1. Safety (because the medium is water)
  2. Thixotropy fluid.
    Share -> Low Viscosity
    No share -> High Viscosity
  3. Film formation

6. Purpose to use ethylene as monomer for copolymerization

  1. Internal plasticity effect
  2. Various polymer design
  3. Excellent water proof & alkaline resistance
  4. Excellent weather resistance
  5. Affinity with non-polarity material
    (ex. plastic and synthetic material, etc.)

7. Composition and mechanical characteristic of EVA copolymer resin

Composition and mechanical characteristic of EVA copolymer resin

8. Plasticity effect of polyvinyl acetate by co-monomer

Plasticity effect of polyvinyl acetate by co-monomer

9. Hydrolysis of film of vinyl acetate copolymer emulsion

Hydrolysis of film of vinyl acetate copolymer emulsion
