Paint and Coating Resins & Polymers

RSS

A newly developed polyether polyol delivers liquid processing at room temperature, low unsaturation and optimized extent of microphase separation from conventional urethane hard segment chemistries.

Purac has introduced its renewable PURALACT™ lactide as a monomer for creating sustainable coating resins.

Sealers are applied to concrete to protect the surface from water and salt damage.

The binders used in water-based paints are traditionally produced by emulsion polymerization.

Although silicone-modified polyester (SMP) and super-polyester coatings are well-suited for specific applications, they cannot provide the same proven long-term performance as 70% polyvinylidene (PVDF) coatings due to the latter’s superior chemistry.

SR217 is a monofunctional monomer for UV/EB applications with very low viscosity and surface tension.

GENIOSIL® XB is a range of alpha-silane-terminated polyethers of low viscosity and with a high density of crosslinkable silyl groups that produce a close-meshed, three-dimensional network on curing.

New functionalized pigments from the Sachtoperse family of barium sulphate pigments are optimally tailored to their respective binder and designed to provide secure bonding between pigment and resin.

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.
