A more sustainable industry requires the discovery and utilization of new raw materials and technologies, presenting an opportunity to develop products with unique properties not previously explored in the additives sector.
In an era marked by an increasing emphasis on sustainability and eco-friendliness, the coatings industry is undergoing a transformative shift. According to Global Market Insights, the spotlight is now on biopolymer coatings, a burgeoning segment that is projected to shape the future of coatings applications.
The new team equipment features shorts and sports shoes with designs using Huafeng’s newly launched textile coating system, which contains partly bio-based PU dispersions from Covestro.
The ISCC PLUS-certified products manufactured at Stahl’s Waalwijk and Leinfelden locations include selected polyurethane coatings for flexible materials such as textiles, film and paper. The polyurethanes are made with between 20% and 70% renewable attributed biomass and recycled content.
Bio-based coatings encompass a broad product category. They use natural resources such as essential oils, foods, and forest products to perform comparably to those typically derived from fossil fuels. This article discusses bio-based materials in the coatings market and offers insights about future developments.
Concerning rheological stabilization of coatings, there is a trend to move away from hazardous raw materials, with preference given to the use of bio-based and sustainable chemistries, wherever possible. Testing of new organic additives shows good dispensability and ease of activation.
On the coast, painted walls tend to fade faster, are pummeled with wind-driven rain, are exposed to salt around the clock, and are breeding grounds for bio-growth like algae and fungus. One seven-story Destin, Florida, resort nestled between Choctawhatchee Bay and the Gulf of Mexico was looking for a fresh update but wanted more longevity for its money.
One of the key components of the hydropower industry is the use of epoxy coatings, which are used to protect the machinery and infrastructure used in hydropower operations. In this article, the role that epoxy coatings play in the hydropower industry and the benefits they provide are explored.
The new product has a bio-based content of over 70%, providing manufacturers with a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to conventional isononanoic acid.
