The low-VOC coatings market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.0% by 2024. Water¬borne, powder and radiation cure technologies are the major low-VOC coating technologies, and are thus gaining in popularity.
Functional binders, when incorporated in low-VOC architectural coatings, offer a wide range of benefits in construction applications in terms of texture as well as durability.
The adhesion/corrosion balance of the previous study yielded significant new insights into resin design. Polymers with good wet adhesion and good corrosion resistance could be isolated, and those properties correlated back to their monomer compositions and particle morphologies.
The present study shows that the reactive diluent Tolonate X FLO 100, used in blend with conventional HDI-based polyisocyanates, can bring significant advantages to 2K polyaspartic systems.
Architectural low-VOC coatings can be formulated with dibenzoate glycol esters to have increased hardness, block resistance, gloss and scrub resistance.
In order to affect true change, we must develop products that touch on several of the change drivers, including regulatory issues, total cost of painting and performance
It is imperative for coatings manufacturers to set an example for the entire industry and produce more sustainable products and technologies that address the many problems facing our earth.
