Advancements in coating technologies, from self-healing paints to solvent-free formulations, are shaping the future of sustainable, high-performance applications.
A new generation of epoxy coatings delivers fast cure speeds, high flexibility and improved EHS profiles without compromising tensile strength or adhesion.
Researchers have developed a formula to predict when cracks will form in drying clay, a breakthrough that could enhance the durability of paint and coatings.
Concrete coatings utilize advanced resin systems like 1K acrylics and 2K epoxies, designed for optimal performance and durability in various applications.
Concrete coatings require specific properties and testing methods to ensure durability and performance across various applications and environmental conditions.
Concrete coatings present unique challenges due to the substrate's variability, requiring precise preparation and coatings with specific performance properties for durability and aesthetics.
When comparing the performance of polymer emulsions made with substituted styrene versus conventional styrene in direct-to-metal, wood coatings, concrete sealer, and FR/intumescent coating applications, the results demonstrate improved performance properties when the substitute is utilized.
Elastomeric roof coatings must show excellent adhesion to the substrate since they can be applied to several types of roofs such as metal, concrete, bitumen, and others. Fibrillated cellulose is a renewable material that delivers multiple functionalities such as rheology to stability and surface properties, as well as supporting a more sustainable lifecycle.
