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.
Both the mechanical impact strength characteristics and resistance to atmospheric effects improve with increasing concentration of silicone elastomer particles.
A novel phenalkamide, based on renewable CNSL material, enables solvent-free epoxy systems for protective and industrial coatings as well as adhesive applications.
The coatings industry has made a good start but has further to go on its path of sustainable development. The opportunity for significant progress in the future lies beyond business-as-usual.
These new blue-colored resins have been designed with input from formulators, equipment manufacturers and coating applicators, and as a result meet the needs of this sector for increased ease of application combined with high-performance properties.
