Paraloid B-72 is a solid-grade acrylic copolymer that is widely utilized as an excellent adhesive for various industrial applications. It is mainly used as an adhesive for glass and ceramics due to its exceptional properties of stability and reversibility. Moreover, it is often utilized as coatings for plastics, wood, and metals. It also finds its application in stabilizing oil paintings, furniture, and wooden artifacts. Additionally, it is also employed as a medium for ink, paints, and aerosol sprays. It is also often used on fossils, leather, paper, rocks, etc.
The market for Paraloid B-72 is majorly driven by its primary application as an adhesive for the conservation of a wide range of materials, which contributes to its market growth. Its extensive utilization as a component in adhesives for coatings on plastics, metals, glass, and wood effectively fuels its demand in the plastics, adhesives, and coatings industries. Moreover, its application as a great adhesive for archaeological ceramics and the conservation of artworks significantly boosts its demand in the archaeological and conservation Industry.
Additionally, its usage as finishing for metals further promotes its demand in the metal finishing industry. Furthermore, several factors influence industrial Paraloid B-72 procurement, such as the cost and availability of raw materials (methyl acrylate and ethyl methacrylate), Paraloid B-72 market prices, quality standards, distribution (including trading and shipping), logistics, regulatory compliance, environmental regulations, safety standards, etc.
Raw Material for Paraloid B-72 Production
According to the Paraloid B-72 production plant project report, the major raw materials for Paraloid B-72 production include Methyl Acrylate-Ethyl Methacrylate.
Production Process of Paraloid B-72
The extensive Paraloid B-72 production cost report consists of the following industrial production process:
- Production via Polymerization: This method of production involves the process of condensation polymerization of methyl acrylate and ethyl methacrylate, which results in the formation of Paraloid B72 as the final product. The copolymers- ethyl methacrylate and methyl methacrylate are synthesized by the polymerization reaction, which occurs at a glass transition temperature range between Tg = 65-120°C. In this method, 70% of ethyl methacrylate and 30% methyl acrylate undergo copolymerization to produce Paraloid B-72.
Paraloid B-72 is a colorless thermoplastic acrylic resin that comprises 70% of ethyl methacrylate and 30% of methyl acrylate. It is also known as Acryloid B-72 and gets immediately dissolved in toluene and acetone. While its working capabilities are quite excellent, it is often compromised by incorrect preparation and application.
Some of these properties include outstanding adhesion and fast setting time. The compound has all the properties of a general-purpose adhesive, which include excellent resistance to moderate heat, oxidation, transparency, strength, and reversibility. It produces durable and non-yellowing coatings for metals, wood, glass, and plastic.
