For those looking to replace PFAS in their coatings formulations, this article discusses some experiments and data that show how organosilicones compare to PFAS compounds in critical performance criteria such as low surface tension/surface energy, COF, water repellency, oil repellency, stain resistance, and chemical stability.
This month’s Formulating with Mike columncontinues the focus on resins. Mike tests paints with APE-containing and APE-free emulsions for stability, particle size, and final paint quality.
Since its founding in 2007, EcoVadis has grown to become the world’s largest and most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings, creating a global network of more than 100,000 rated companies.
Silicone polymers are well known for their very low surface energy, high hydrophobicity, and UV stability, along with their flexible backbones that can support a wide range of functional groups.
These binders offer the same quality and performance of our existing ACRONAL products, with the added benefit of a reduced CO2 footprint for a more sustainable can of paint.
Formulators and R&D and procurement professionals can utilize Knowde to contact experts from BASF and BTC Europe and request documents, samples and quotes.
