Covestro has introduced a waterborne and waterborne-UV family of high-performing resins for industrial coating applications such as wood furniture, cabinetry, and building products.
The new technology is a waterborne wood coating that can be applied across a wide spectrum of environmental conditions, without the productivity-sapping performance trade-offs commonly associated with waterborne coatings.
C1-C5 are classifications used to describe the level of corrosion resistance required for aggressive environments and applications. The company's latest test results prove that its sustainable corrosion inhibitors can reach C5 levels of heavy metal and chromate-free corrosion protection in coatings.
The new report covers the waterborne market size, share and trends analysis categorized by resin, application, and region, and forecasts for 2023-2030.
The report on waterborne coatings identifies key attributes about the customer to define the potential market, and identify different needs across the industry. The report provides market sizing, and forecasts across seven major currencies. In this report, the years 2019 and 2020 are considered as historical years, with 2021 as the base year, 2022 as the estimated year, and years from 2023 to 2027 are considered as the forecast period.
The coating is powered by Arkema’s Kynar Aquatec® PVDF latex, and provides extreme durability to keep NASA’s logo on the solid rocket boosters intact during the launch.
The defoamer focuses on a minimized environmental impact and a maximized handprint by enabling formulators to develop high-performance and low-VOC, environmentally friendly waterborne formulations. It does not contain biocides, nor does it require SVHC labeling, and can be used in formulations complying with current standards.
According to a study now available from Research and Markets, the global waterborne coatings market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.5% from 2022 to 2026.
PPG announced that it will invest more than $10 million (€9 million) to expand production of automotive original equipment manufacturer (OEM) coatings at its site in Weingarten, Germany.
