Applications of Synthetic Resin Latices: Latices in Diverse Applications

The production of polymer latices has developed over the past half–century from pioneer status to a major industry with an annual production of over 6 million tonnes of polymers. Over this period, increased understanding of their many technical applications has extended the usefulness of water–based latices both technically and commercially. With present trends in ensuring environmental safety, water–based latices play an ever–increasing role, overcoming the limitations of water–soluble and solvent–based polymers in a diverse range of applications.
This title is one of a three volume set entitled The Applications of Synthetic Resin Latices, which discusses the preparation and application of specific groups of latices or polymer emulsions.
Volume 3 Latices in Surface Coatings: Diverse Applications covers the principles and practice of use of latex–based systems in building and construction products, paper coating, textile treatment, polishes, leather finishing and many other specialised applications.
