This study comprehensively evaluated novel, ultra-low-VOC 1K and 2K waterborne floor-coating systems designed to provide eco-friendly, lower-VOC alternatives to traditional solvent-based coatings. The materials employed in these innovative systems showed remarkable performance when subjected to industry-standard tests.
For 2023, AmCoat’s Floor Shield brand has added 14 new dealers, helping the polyaspartic floor coating company post positive results over 2022 – a 33% increase.
Amidst a global push for sustainability, the paint and coatings industry now provides natural, sustainable options that can enhance physical and mechanical properties of coating formulations. The source material of some of these innovations even include a circular raw material: the olive pit.
The expanded range comprises integrated systems of primers, base and topcoats for environments that require electrostatic protection, for equipment mechanical rooms and for applications where a combination of high performance and ultra-fast return to service is essential.
A Resuflor™ topcoat system has been used to ensure a reliable and robust floor surface for the L-159E aircraft that are being used to conduct combat training.
This article makes the case for a single coating layer system to replace two-coat systems for concrete coatings, claiming superior hardness and abrasion resistance as well as comparable adhesion to wet or dry concrete and equivalent chemical resistance.
Measuring the effectiveness of corrosion coatings is achievable. These coatings protect the substrate from stains and scratches and make them easier to clean, but how is that measured, and against what benchmark?
If the onset of the pandemic is credited with heightening the “do-it-yourself” (DIY) movement, consumers’ growing adjustment to our “new normal” and a strong housing market indicate that 2022 will be the year of “do-it-for-me” (DIFM) movement.
