This trend is being led by the automotive industry, which favors low-polluting coating systems. Aqueous-based paints are relatively quickly realizable alternatives. They are becoming well established not only in the field of OEM (original equipment manufacturers) but are also gaining in importance in the repair industry.
The increasingly strict environmental laws in Germany and the European Union require paint manufacturers to permanently allocate considerable adjustment expenditures. Not only is a decrease in emissions required, but applicability and the characteristics desired by the consumer must also be ensured. In this context, coloristic data demand special attention. Achieving the same jetness and hue in a new binder system is an essential development task.
