Waterborne coatings have well-known benefits including a far-lower VOC-emissions profile, and lower inherent flammability, which make them generally safer to store and handle. There are still some common misperceptions around waterborne coatings, slowing their use. This article debunks a few of the most common myths.
A coating with low gloss and high transparency is the basis for a matte finish, without affecting the color strength and thus, leading to a very natural wood look even with dark tones. The work presented here outlines the development and application data of an inherently matte, waterborne acrylic polymer.
By recapturing and reprocessing components from unused inventory bound for disposal, rather than manufacturing with virgin raw materials, the carbon footprint of the recycled paint is reduced by up to 60% compared to paint products equal in quality and formulation.
Linetec provided architectural aluminum product manufacturers with a textured terra cotta specialty coating for aluminum, providing the desired, natural clay-colored appearance and stone-like texture with the advantages of metal and fluoropolymer (PVDF) coatings.
