Arkema Researchers Explore Advances in Hydrophobic Acrylic Emulsions
CARY, NC - In 2017, Patricia Beurdeley, the Development & Innovation Leader for Architectural Coatings for Arkema in the EMEA region, led and compiled research related to hydrophobic acrylic emulsions used in exterior and interior paint formulations. The results of that research were first unveiled by Werner Ullenboom, Sales Director for Arkema Coating Resins in Northern Europe in November 2017 at the Verband der Ingenieure des Lack und Farbenfaches e.V. (VILF) Annual Conference.
The study focused on the performance attributes of hydrophobic emulsions using new Arkema products when compared to 100% acrylics and various other compositions in both interior and exterior formulations.
