The objective of this collaboration was to showcase the performance of sustainable, soy-based coating materials in real-world formulations, comparing them to benchmarks derived from petroleum-based counterparts.
Discover 2024’s advancements in powder coating technology, including new formulations, application techniques, and expanded applications across diverse industries.
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.
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.
The selection of a suitable coalescent involves evaluating the impact on a paint’s performance and sustainable aspects related to durability, bio-based content, and environmental impact. This article shares experiment results of a newly developed bio-based, zero-VOC coalescent for improving latex film formation and paint performance.
This study introduces the use of 1,3-Propanediol (1,3-PDO) in polyurethanes as a building block component of polyester and polyether polyols, and as a chain extender. The bio-based coatings prepared in this investigation provided useful physio-mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and water resistance compared to reference commercial petroleum-based two-component PUDs.
These binders offer the same quality and performance of our existing ACRONAL products, with the added benefit of a reduced CO2 footprint for a more sustainable can of paint.
The coatings industry, like many others, thrives on interconnectedness and shared value chains. By recognizing sustainability as a shared responsibility, understanding the interconnected needs throughout the value chain, and ensuring accountability, companies can drive meaningful change.
Returning for its 5th edition next year, the Bio-Based Coatings Europe 2024 conference will once again bring together senior executives and experts from the coatings industry, including bio-based material producers, paint and coatings specialists, resin, binder, pigments and additive companies, solution providers, consultants, regulatory and policy officers, and technology providers.
