Engineered Polymer Solutions launched EPS^® 2585, a high-solids waterborne acrylic emulsion that provides the capability to formulate direct-to metal applications at <100g/L VOC.

This lab will help accelerate research into photopolymerization, a future-oriented technology that improves energy savings and doesn’t require the use of solvents. It will also explore new and more sustainable UV-curable materials.

According to the report, worldwide consumption of silicones coatings is projected to increase at a CAGR of 6% from 2022 to 2032.

The new distribution relationship expands Univar Solutions' specialty portfolio for customers in the region who are manufacturing building and construction products.

Using international sustainability standards, EcoVadis has rated more than 100,000 companies globally across all industries and sizes.

According to the report, the need for sustainable manufacturing solutions is driving the growing market interest in self-healing materials, polymers, and coatings.

1^st Source will add experimental capabilities to EPCEd’s portfolio, including new product development, formulation capabilities, and analytical and testing services.

The new era of hard foul release marine coatings can maintain an optimal CII rating for vessel owners through superior mechanical properties and the ability to maintain low hull roughness and skin-friction drag. 

A unique compound based on a new self-matting PU dispersion (PUD) offers excellent physical and chemical performance. This PUD is optimized to meet the latest requirements for anti-soiling and coffee stain resistance for automotive interior finishes.

Moving to more environmentally benign monomers is essential for the continuation of a highly beneficial relationship with polymers. This shift creates an opportunity to simultaneously access new property profiles. New polyols synthesized using a high-purity isosorbide illustrate what is possible.
