Waterborne OMU has all the advantages of solventborne OMU including inherent mar resistance, chemical resistance and amber film color, while overcoming the shortcomings of low-VOC solventborne OMU including slow dry and softer film.

Cardura E10P glycidyl ester enables the easy production of high-performance, solvent-free waterborne acrylic polyol dispersions.

It seems as if the coatings industry may benefit more by exploring the ideas of those outside the industry.

Through the use of designed particle morphology and process conditions a latex has been developed that can be formulated into a coating without the use of coalescing solvents that gives excellent corrosion resistance, adhesion to steel, and still is hard enough to give good block resistance and dirt pickup resistance.

The corrosion protection provided by DTM coatings has improved with advances in binder technology; however, when formulating a waterborne DTM every component of the formula contributes to the corrosion performance.

This article highlights Benda-Lutz® COMPAL WS, a new range of nonhazardous, aluminum pigment concentrates designed specifically for long-term stability in waterborne coatings and inks.

This article discusses utilizing natural oil metathesis to create novel renewable building blocks that are beginning to reshape many chemical markets, including the coatings industry.

Surfactants are both the enabling chemistry as well as valuable formulating tools in aqueous pigment dispersion.

Shipping water-based products during the winter months requires special handling to protect against freezing temperatures.
