Acrylic Polyols

Solid acrylic polyol resins contain hydroxyl groups in the side chains and many monomer units throughout the main chain. Typically, solid acrylic polyol resins are available in molecular weights ranging from as low as 3.000. to as high as 25.000. to as high as 400.000. providing formulators with a wider range of options.

The advantages of solid acrylic polyol resins are as follows:

Easier material handling

High flexibility: formulators can choose different solvents

Formulator does not have to deal with solvent hazards

Virtually no oligomers or residual monomers, providing better chemical resistance and hardness

Good film formation

High reflectivity

Use of low Tg solid acrylic polyol resins improves post-film impact properties

Table 5: Performance Data

Acrylic polyols provide superior durability and weather resistance for high-performance coatings. Their molecular design flexibility allows precise tuning of properties for specific applications, particularly where UV stability and chemical resistance are critical. While more expensive than alternative polyols, their performance justifies the premium in demanding environments.
