Development of eco-friendly, sustainable and high-solid (low-VOC) coatings have received a lot of attention due to environmental concerns and legislative issues.
Devoe® Bar-Rust® 234P is the first solvent-free epoxy, low-temperature potable water tank lining system designed to meet the industry’s need for low VOC compliance, without compromising performance.
Troysol™ Z372 is a high-performance universal mar and slip additive that improves the wetting of low-surface-energy and contaminated substrates, resulting in uniform film coverage.
PURALACT® special-grade lactides provide reduced resin viscosity, allowing for coatings formulations with higher solid content, lower VOCs and improved ease-of-use.
When it comes to coatings, the most popular color these days is most decidedly green: green for money, as in a product’s cost effectiveness and profitability; green for environmentalism, as in sustainable, healthy products; and green for “go”, in terms of meeting ever-more stringent standards and improved performance goals.
Advancements in pigment technologies enable architectural paint formulators to have the ability to provide a broader range of coatings that offer market-driven functionality without sacrificing performance.
To comply with VOC regulations, coatings manufacturers have gradually moved away from conventional low-solids, solventborne systems to several emerging technologies, which include high-solids, UV, powder, waterborne and solvent-free systems.1-3
