A new thermal additive enhances energy efficiency and fire resistance, reducing heat absorption, improving emissivity, and meeting stringent environmental and building performance standards.

Flat roofs face aging and weathering challenges from solar radiation, moisture and pollutants. This study explores polymer dispersions' impact on elastomeric roof coatings' durability, flexibility and chalking resistance.

A DIY garage floor coating system uses a waterborne resin to achieve low VOCs, lasting durability, and high performance for industrial and consumer applications.

A cutting-edge anticorrosion additive endured 6,000 hours of real-world coastal testing—revealing surprising results, including the standout performance of waterborne acrylic coatings in marine environments.

The coating additives market is set to expand due to increasing demand for waterborne products, bio-based solutions and corrosion protection across key industries.

Innovative reactive surfactants enhance water resistance and stability in waterborne coatings, marking a significant technological advancement in emulsion polymerization.

In the realm of wood coatings, achieving a "natural look" has become a hallmark of modern design. To accomplish this, not only is low gloss required but also high transparency to preserve the vibrant colors of the wood.

The objective of this collaboration was to showcase the performance of sustainable, soy-based coating materials in real-world formulations, comparing them to benchmarks derived from petroleum-based counterparts. Part II of this series focuses on soy-alkyd dispersion paint. 

When comparing the performance of polymer emulsions made with substituted styrene versus conventional styrene in direct-to-metal, wood coatings, concrete sealer, and FR/intumescent coating applications, the results demonstrate improved performance properties when the substitute is utilized.
