Paint and Coating Resins & Polymers

RSS

Effective June 1, Cytec Coating Resins is operating as Allnex.

This year’s show and congress showed that sustainability is a major innovation driver for the coatings industry.

This study demonstrates that a waterborne acrylic coating system designed for finishing wood products can perform well compared to traditional solventborne finishes.

Silicone resins offer coatings formulators ways to improve sustainability.

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.
