Enhanced slip, lower surface tension and better tape release — these silicone additives help radiation-curable coatings deliver long-term reliability.

A cutting-edge anticorrosion additive endured 6,000 hours of real-world coastal testing—revealing surprising results, including the standout performance of waterborne acrylic coatings in marine environments.

Cobalt carboxylates are commonly used as catalysts for the oxidative crosslinking of alkyd resins, which accelerate the drying of paints, inks, and coatings. Despite their effectiveness, alternatives are increasingly sought after.

Crosslinking improves coating colorfastness, durability, and salt tolerance while maintaining flexibility. And the network of chains provides for superior wind-driven rain resistance. 

The new resins have a renewable carbon content, can be formulated and used without hazardous ingredients found in most competitive products, and were developed to have efficient crosslinking with environmentally compliant carbodiimide-type crosslinkers.
