These resins are generally found in water-based systems because they have the lowest VOC content. Increased demand for acrylic resins is driven by their environmentally friendly properties that decrease the odor and the amount of solvent in paint. Acrylic coatings are primarily used in the building and construction industry for application on roofs, walls and other surface areas.
