Applications
Polymers produced by emulsion polymerization can be divided into three rough categories.
- Synthetic rubber
- Some grades of styrene-butadiene (SBR)
- Some grades of Polybutadiene
- Polychloroprene (Neoprene)
- Nitrile rubber
- Acrylic rubber
- Fluoroelastomer (FKM)
- Plastics
- Some grades of PVC
- Some grades of polystyrene
- Some grades of PMMA
- Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene terpolymer (ABS)
- Polyvinylidene fluoride
- Polyvinyl fluoride
- PTFE
- Dispersions (i.e. polymers sold as aqueous dispersions)
- polyvinyl acetate
- polyvinyl acetate copolymers
- latexacrylic paint
- Styrene-butadiene
- VAE (vinyl acetate - ethylene copolymers)
