A method for forming a durable latex polymer emulsion includes a step of forming a pre-emulsion by combining a monomer composition with a reactive emulsifier, a reactive silane compound, an epoxy crosslinker, and a phosphate-containing monomer in water. The pre-emulsion is polymerized by combining the pre-emulsion with a radical initiator to form a reaction mixture that polymerizes to form a hydride silicon-acrylic emulsion polymer.
