Abstract
Acrylic polymerization techniques have evolved over the past several decades to encompass a wide array of procedures and composition combinations that impart very specialized performance attributes to water based inks and coatings. Although some experts feel that acrylics have reached their maximum technical capability in water based systems, they still dominate the industry. As emission regulations force printers into converting the most demanding applications to water based systems, improvements in resin technology are essential. Acrylic hybrids such as polyester-acrylic and polyurethane acrylic are likely to extend the technical capability for the next several years.
