Abstract
Acrylic water-dispersion coatings occupy a significant place in the market due to their environmental friendliness, technological flexibility and versatility of application. However, in order to ensure stable performance characteristics such as adhesion, strength, elasticity and resistance to external influences, targeted modification of formulation compositions is necessary. The use of modifiers makes it possible to adapt the properties of compositions to the specific conditions of application and operation, as well as to ensure highquality paintwork. This article provides an overview of existing approaches to the use of modifiers in wateracrylic film-forming compositions and their effect on the properties of finished coatings. The purpose of the article is to systematize data on the use of modifying additives in acrylic aqueous dispersions, analyze their functional purpose, and evaluate the impact on the technological and operational characteristics of coatings. Conclusion. The review identifies current trends in the development and application of modifiers in acrylic water-dispersion systems, emphasizing the need for further research to optimize formulations, improve component compatibility, and develop new highly effective additives.
