HGTV Home® by Sherwin-Williams introduced new cabinet and furniture paint, a new acrylic urethane enamel that provides a factory-like finish on cabinets and furniture, can be tinted to any color, and is offered in satin and semi-gloss sheens.
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.
Both the sealer and the semi-transparent stain are formulated for all environments, even those in the harshest areas near open water. They are formulated to penetrate below the surface and create a flexible, breathable barrier that expands and contracts with environmental elements to protect against water damage.
The new range provides a complete spectrum of sheens, from high gloss to dead flat, and draws inspiration from the rich heritage and craftsmanship of trusted, Italian-inspired formulations.
Waterborne coatings have well-known benefits including a far-lower VOC-emissions profile, and lower inherent flammability, which make them generally safer to store and handle. There are still some common misperceptions around waterborne coatings, slowing their use. This article debunks a few of the most common myths.
A coating with low gloss and high transparency is the basis for a matte finish, without affecting the color strength and thus, leading to a very natural wood look even with dark tones. The work presented here outlines the development and application data of an inherently matte, waterborne acrylic polymer.
A new wetting agent enhances wetting behavior, particularly in wood coatings. The innovative approach is based on a comparative evaluation of silicone-free and silicone-based surfactants, focusing on surface tension and contact angle.
The new report from Allied Market Research shows that economic growth, urbanization, and increasing construction activities continue to drive demand in flooring, furniture, doors, windows, and other architectural woodwork.
