New Tools for Formulating Ultralow VOC, High-Performance 2K Polyurethane Coatings
This article describes the use of TBAc™.
In an effort to further reduce urban ozone and air toxics, the EPA and state regulatory agencies continue to tighten the allowable VOC and HAP contents in a variety of coating categories. These stricter regulations are making it increasingly difficult for coating suppliers to offer compliant products that also meet their customers’ performance and cost requirements.
The following paragraphs describe several new tools for formulating ultralow VOC and HAP-free two-component (2K) urethane coatings that perform like their medium-solids counterparts.
