With stringent regulations in Europe and the green movement in the United States, Canada and other regions, introducing an alternative to APE in coatings formulations has become highly important.

Ceramic microspheres may offer formulators alternatives in waterborne UV-curable coatings to serve as both a matting agent and functional performance filler.

Results show that FEVE resins provide water-based and high-solids coatings excellent resistance to UV degradation.

Ultrasonic acoustically assisted inline drying provides energy cost savings, increased throughput and reduced footprint.

Waterborne self-crosslinking acrylic emulsions are a suitable alternative to SB finishes for industrial wood coatings.

Reducing energy and waste across the value chain, together with limiting raw material usage in coating formulas will become increasingly important aspects of product formulation strategies as materials become scarcer.

This new product is an innovative, next-generation sustainable solvent with excellent performance in a wide variety of waterborne PUD applications.

A novel water-dispersible blend combining a high-performance UV absorber with a non-reacting HALS was designed to fulfill the requirements for long-term weather resistance in exterior deco, decking and joinery markets.

HD coating technology based on 2K waterborne polyurethane is meeting market demand for architectural coatings with the expected durability, cleanability and chemical resistance of industrial coatings.

Aliphatic urethanes with high acrylate functionality result in cured films having excellent abrasion resistant properties. The family of UV-PUD materials examined offers a higher reactive solid content at a lower viscosity when compared to typical UV-PUDs on the market.
