Bio-surfactants are a promising alternative to chemical surfactants in the development of eco-friendly and high-performance coatings due to their bio-degradability, low toxicity, renewable feedstocks, and enhanced performance in various aspects of coatings formulations.
PPG discusses its multifaceted approach to sustainability and product stewardship; a comprehensive and multivariable methodology, which was informed by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development. This approach supports the idea that paint and coatings technologies are key to meeting green building standards.
DAPRO® BIO 9910 is designed to add more sustainability and performance in coatings. With commitment and dedication to greener formulations, this product is set to transform the architectural paint sector by offering enhanced performance, sustainability, and environmental benefits.
Amidst a global push for sustainability, the paint and coatings industry now provides natural, sustainable options that can enhance physical and mechanical properties of coating formulations. The source material of some of these innovations even include a circular raw material: the olive pit.
On the coast, painted walls tend to fade faster, are pummeled with wind-driven rain, are exposed to salt around the clock, and are breeding grounds for bio-growth like algae and fungus. One seven-story Destin, Florida, resort nestled between Choctawhatchee Bay and the Gulf of Mexico was looking for a fresh update but wanted more longevity for its money.
Anti-foam products allow controlling the presence of unwanted foam in different processes, including the manufacture and application of paints. A new range of mineral oil-free anti-foams have been designed, which are not harmful to humans or the environment due to their low or no toxicity, and include enhanced bio-degradability of the raw materials.
