PURALACT® special-grade lactides provide reduced resin viscosity, allowing for coatings formulations with higher solid content, lower VOCs and improved ease-of-use.
First, it was adhesion to multiple substrates, then the requests were for better dirt pick-up resistance. Now, contractors are asking for – and receiving – an elastomeric roof coating that has the potential to resist hard rain much faster than previous technologies enabled.
This article reports on the performance results of acrylated monomers and oligomers when subjected to typical end-use tests designed to measure the flexibility and adhesion characteristics of coatings.
Hydro PLIOLITE™ WL modified acrylate copolymer for wet-look concrete sealers creates products with superior appearance and performance versus traditional latex-based sealers.
RESYDROL® AY 6705 and RESYDROL AZ 6710 waterborne hybrid resins for wood stains provide extended weathering and durability, excellent wood penetration, fast drying, and film erosion control.
R-162 is a waterborne aromatic anionic polyester polyurethane dispersion ideally suited for coating metal substrates such as aluminum, chrome and steel.
To comply with VOC regulations, coatings manufacturers have gradually moved away from conventional low-solids, solventborne systems to several emerging technologies, which include high-solids, UV, powder, waterborne and solvent-free systems.1-3
For PCI’s Distributor issue, PCI editor Kristin Johansson spoke with Sandeep Goel, PICA (Paints, Inks, Coatings and Adhesives) Business Leader at Nexeo Solutions, to discuss how the distribution model has evolved over the years, what trends distributors are seeing and the challenges that they face today.
