The various components, some or all of which go to make up a finished lacquer, are as follows;
• Acrylic resins — emulsion or water soluble
• Coalescent or co-solvent
• Defoamers
• Wetting agents
• Matting agents
• Slip and mar additives
• Surface tension additives
• Dispersing agents
• Preservatives
• pH adjusters
• Viscosity and rheology modifiers
Some of these have already been discussed in the preceding sections. However, they will be reconsidered here with their relevance to wood coatings.
