Abstract
Acrylic materials based on methacrylates and emulsions have captured a good market share in the construction industry. The properties that are useful for construction applications are:
-
excellent adhesion
-
flexibility and elongation
-
stability to ultraviolet radiation
-
carbonation resistance
-
environmental friendliness.
