Fungal spoilage and algal defacement of industrial and private structures has been an ongoing challenge to the coatings industry for decades.

Zephrym PD 4974 is a low-VOC, high-performance polymeric dispersant specially designed for iron oxide pigments.

A next-generation wetting and adhesion promoter intended for dry-mix products, Troysol™ PWA improves adhesion to substrates and enhances pull-off strength.

In recent years, the focus on environmental protection and sustainability has increased rapidly.

One of the challenges of formulating waterborne architectural coatings is achieving an acceptable balance of properties both during application and in the final film.

The term “wax” does not actually describe a class of chemical substances.

The challenges of substrate wetting and flow are especially problematic for formulators of water-based coatings.

Easaqua™ X L 600 polyisocyanate provides easy dispersibility and improved humidity resistance in waterborne polyurethane coatings and further solutions for environmentally friendly coatings.

The growth today in waterborne and radiation-cured coatings and inks far exceeds that of its solventborne equivalents. The need for lower VOCs, “greener” materials, improved food safety and reduced economics
