ACRYLIC RESIN SOLUTIONS

    Acrylic resins usually refer to acrylic ester polymers, of which methyl methacrylate is the chief constituent.  In some cases, methyl methacrylate is present merely as a modifier for other acrylic and non-acrylic constituents such as styrene, vinyl toluene and other vinyl-type polymerisable materials.
    Because of their excellent gloss, color retention, and chemical, solvent and stain resistance, these resins are well suited for automotive and appliance finishes.
