[Gasification] latex paint as densification binder?

[Benjamin Domingo Bof]

Jim; I was made welding electrodes using vinyl glue same bonding agent than latex paint. We use calcium carbonate from acetylene generator. It welds good with high amperage. Calcium dioxide offers plasma support .Gives smell like burned plastic .

briquetting and/or pelleting.  latex paint dries via coalescence so
does not resolvent with water after it is dried.  this would help much
when densified fuels are used in closed top gasifiers.  latex paint is
everywhere, often needing disposal.

does anyone here know specifics about latex paint chemistry?  it
appears to me that they are all without any chlorines, so that is at
least a good start.  latex paint is so highly regulated that i'd guess
its composition is pretty benign.  folk wisdom says you can burn wood
with latex paint on it, but not oil paint, as it often has lead.

can anyone elaborate on the chemical particulars of latex paint?
