Paint and Coating Resins & Polymers

RSS

There are still a lot of developments and technical optimizations to be made in the powder coating industry.

When this new diacid is used as the system crosslinker in GMA powder powder coatings, the resultant coating has twice the impact resistance as that of the incumbent diacid.

By using carefully selected renewable building block monomers, we can design polyester biopolyols with 100% renewable carbon content that can be used to produce high-performance UV-PUDs suitable for use in many coatings applications.

The use of biobased succinic acid in place of phthalic anhydride helps to broaden the formulation flexibility of the alkyd resins.

The improvement in coating performance comes in part from the presence of the hardwearing nanodiamond particles integrated into the polymers, but there is also a change in the overall structure of the coating.

Automotive clearcoats based on this new binder technology are now on their way to being approved by selected automobile manufacturers.

Multi-staged polymers represent fairly new technology that involves a mixture of polymers with different Tg ranges, resulting in a mix of hard and soft segments.

A new generation of hybrid waterborne alkyd dispersions has been specifically designed and developed to provide the best protection on horizontal and some vertical wood surfaces.

This article describes a designed set of experiments that compared the coatings properties of two-component waterborne polyurethane coatings and two-component solventborne polyurethane coatings.
