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.

A new technology in advanced light scattering and TiO₂ optimization generates a novel universal coatings system for multiple substrates and market segments. This self-build technology maximizes efficiency to the core utility of paint and coatings (opacity) under which all sub-utilities and benefits reside. 

PCI’s “Did You Know” column has published a wealth of information about redox chemistries for use in emulsion polymerizations. This edition focuses on its use in aqueous-based polymer dispersions. 

A new-to-market molecule brings a unique combination of balanced properties that deliver several performance advantages in waterborne automotive and industrial coatings and inks.

Going water-based gives manufacturers a route for improving a coating’s environmental impact, and for reducing the carbon footprint. What existing support is available to overcome obstacles for formulators and facilitate the wider adoption of water-based solutions?

In addition to good adhesion and rust prevention, a metal coating must be equipped to meet force-dry, high-slip, or high-temp requirements in certain applications. To address these needs, one company offers two specialty versions of a high-performing, water-based, anti-corrosion coating for industrial applications.

The company will supply its full water-based Sikkens range, including basecoats, primer and clearcoats, to provide Porsche China with a complete water-based solution for its refinishing needs.  

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. 

The new portfolio offers a broad range of applications – automotive, architectural, and industrial.

The new additives for water-based paints deliver coverage, durability, and washability without affecting pH.
