Paint and Coating Resins & Polymers

RSS

 For testing paints and coatings, rapid loss?on?drying methods prove to be more desirable than traditional testing methods. 

More companies are adding and/or expanding their portfolios with biobased waterborne alternatives that offer the formulator/end user another benefit without sacrificing performance.

 The use of the pigment encapsulating acrylic binder in exterior applications can not only decrease the amount of TiO2 at the same hiding level, bringing possible cost reduction, but can also help to improve exterior durability such as dirt pick up resistance, tint retention and efflorescence resistance. 

 VeoVa monomer enhances the performance of vinyl acetate- and acrylic-based latices, significantly upgrading key properties such as water and alkali resistance in both polymer systems. 

Polymers provide Low-VOC, Excellent Block Resistance, Hardness and Film Formation

 Independent corrosion tests have shown this is a successful conductive polymer-based anti-corrosion coating technology and the first non-chromate coating that has out-performed hexavalent chromate coatings. 

New products are being developed to meet the challenge of delivering low- and zero-VOC offerings, including specialty resins, coalescents/plasticizers, water-based and energy curable colorants, foam control and silicone products.
