While there may be a tendency to bemoan increased regulations, one can also reflect on the innovation that has been achieved as a result of these perceived and actual constraints.
The desire for lower-VOC coatings coupled with growing interest in daylighting to reduce building energy consumption are driving interest in low-VOC acrylic systems that deliver signature UV resistance while meeting the need for durability in high-traffic commercial and institutional architecture.
Certain silicone technology, like silicone resin emulsions, can provide a significant decrease in dirt pick up from exposure due to the hydrophobic properties.
In automotive refinishing, this technology offers end users a drop-in solution that can accelerate cycle time, help improve profits and reduce material waste – all while providing an enhanced environmental, health and safety profile.
The aim of this study was to design hydrophobic or super hydrophobic coatings based on sol-gel chemistry by incorporating hydrophobic moieties and controlling surface morphology.
With 1,024 exhibitors from 42 countries and 28,500 trade visitors representing nearly 110 nationalities, the European Coatings Show closed with new record highs.
By incorporating recycled PET into polyols, the properties familiar to PET, such as toughness, flexibility, hydrolytic stability, and chemical and stain resistance, can be incorporated into many CASE applications.
