Waterborne Coatings

This article demonstrates how to maximize the performance of waterborne acrylic metal coatings using amino alcohols as highly efficient dispersants for pigments.

This study aims to quantify the impact of enzymatically produced alpha-1,3 polyglucose of different morphologies on the performance of water-based PUDs.

A new water-based additive can provide low-gloss matte paint with the needed performance properties without dust mitigation or worker PPE.

Sustainable low-Mw and high-Mw polymers can be made without generating any waste during polymer synthesis, using reactive solvents and water as a reaction media.

Fibrillated cellulose is a 100%-natural, biodegradable and sustainable material. It performs as a multi-functional stabilizer with low impact on viscosity in a wide range of coatings applications, as well as supporting a more sustainable lifecycle.

The coating technology discussed in this article is a 100%-waterborne, high-ratio zinc silicate. When used as a single-coat system – or when complemented with a topcoat for aesthetics – the product delivers superior and complete corrosion-prevention benefits that are unmatched when compared to other "IOZ" systems used in the marine environment.

OH-functional acrylic emulsions can be designed with a wide range of hydroxyl values and performance characteristics to address the needs of many different applications in plastic, wood, automotive, and construction coatings.

The article also addresses a specific limitation (tint viscosity retention) that occurs with NISATs, and how next generation tint viscosity stabilizers help alleviate this concern.

A modular chemistry platform has been successfully leveraged to generate a new class of high-performance polymeric pigment dispersants.
