Article: US EMULSION POLYMER DEMAND TO REACH 5.5 BILLION POUNDS IN 2004.

Emulsion polymer demand in the US is forecast to grow more than 3 percent yearly to 5.5 billion pounds in 2004. Market value is forecast to rise five percent per year to $4.8 billion, aided by shifts toward higher priced emulsions, particularly acrylics. Good opportunities are anticipated for acrylic, vinyl acrylic and styrene-butadiene latex emulsions as they generally outperform their primary end-use industries. Emulsion polymer demand will benefit in these applications from their good environmental profile. Emulsions also offer low cost, easy clean-up, good adhesion and flexibility, and abrasion resistance. These and other trends are presented in Emulsion Polymers, a ...
