Synthetic Resins - Methacrylate
Methacrylate resin may be produced as solid sheets, crystals, or liquids, known by such trade names as Lucite or Elvacite (E.I. Du Pont, Inc.), Plexiglas, or Acryloid (Rohm and Haas Co.). The material can be obtained as a water-thinned emulsion under trade names such as Rhoplex (Rohm and Haas Co. ) AC-234, and it is this type of emulsified resin that is commonly used as a binder for many artists' colors sold since 1951 as acrylic polymer tempera. Its qualities and uses are described [in documents on Synthetic Resin Paints and on pages 191 to 198 in the book]. [p. 37]
