The difference between "emulsion" and "resin":

1. "Emulsion" and "resin" - different definitions

1.1 "Emulsion" is made by adding surfactant to a water-insoluble solution polymer, and an emulsion of the polymer is produced under high-speed stirring.

1.2 "Resin" usually refers to an organic polymer that has a softening or melting range after heating, has a tendency to flow under the action of external force when softened, and is solid, semi-solid, and sometimes liquid at room temperature.

2. "Emulsion" and "resin" - different functions

2.1 "Emulsion" has permanent flexibility, good acid and alkali resistance, can be mixed with most additives, and the emulsion forms a transparent film at a certain temperature. This temperature is called the minimum film-forming temperature, and the film has a good barrier to water droplets.

2.2 "Resin" is generally insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvents, and is solid, medium solid, pseudo-solid, and sometimes liquid at room temperature. It has a softening or melting temperature range, tends to flow under external force, and often breaks in a shell shape. It has good comprehensive physical and mechanical properties and is easy to process and shape. The disadvantages are poor weather resistance, poor heat resistance, and flammability.

3. "Emulsion" and "resin" - different scopes of application

3.1 "Emulsion" has a wide range of bonding properties. In addition to being able to bond wood, leather, fabric, paper, cement, concrete, aluminum foil, galvanized steel and other materials, it can be used as interior and exterior wall coatings, roof waterproof coatings, fire retardant coatings, and rust-proof coatings.

3.2 "Resin" is mainly used as engineering materials and can also be used for household appliances. It is suitable for household electrical appliances such as TV housings, refrigerator linings, vacuum cleaners, etc., as well as plastic products for instruments, telephones, and automobile industries.

Understanding their distinct traits ensures optimal material selection in textile and industrial applications.
