Emulsion Paint Raw Materials overview
Water is the carrier and the main ingredient by volume. The acrylic or vinyl-acrylic emulsion is the binder. Titanium dioxide gives white and hiding, fillers give body, and additives handle dispersion, thickness, foam and preservation.
Emulsion paint raw material sourcing is easier when each group is written into a specification that your suppliers can quote against.
