Extended-durability architectural coatings improve sustainability by reducing recoating frequency, lowering VOC emissions and extending material service life.
The market for low-VOC coatings is projected to grow from $128.6 billion in 2024 to $154.9 billion by 2029, at a compound annual growth rate of 3.8% during the forecast period.
Covestro has introduced a waterborne and waterborne-UV family of high-performing resins for industrial coating applications such as wood furniture, cabinetry, and building products.
The company has calculated the individual product carbon footprints (PCF) of both chemical products.The analysis shows that due to production setup, the PCFs of BDO and derivatives such as PolyTHF are significantly below the global average PCF of the corresponding third-party chemicals that are all produced from fossil-based raw materials.
