This article provides further insight in how PLA polyols expand the formulator'’s toolbox for the development of coatings with improved key properties such as hardness, adhesion, solvent resistance and fracture toughness.
Design of polyols with varying levels of recycled PET afforded insight into how this important recycled material ultimately affects end use performance of resulting polyols.
BURNOCK® AC 2530 polyol resin for air-dry curing systems and chemistries brings the same performance properties widely desired from a stoving system to an air-dry system.
NatureWorks, an advanced materials company offering a portfolio of renewably sourced polymers and chemicals, has formed a Performance Chemicals Division to supply lactides, polyols, binder resins and chemical intermediates to companies that manufacture coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers, toners and fine chemicals.
Vertellus, a global manufacturer of fine and specialty chemicals, and its distributor partner Palmer Holland have expanded their strategic relationship to better serve the coatings, automotive, sealants, and elastomer (CASE) and lubricant markets.
Polycin® XP EP3 is a stable and robust castor oil-based emulsifiable polyol offering a wide level of formulating flexibility, enabling coating formulators to reduce development time while maintaining or improving emulsion stability and coating performance.
This work has validated a place for some novel new polyols with high recycle content combined with high performance for specialty coating applications, where protection of metal surfaces is paramount.
