This study comprehensively evaluated novel, ultra-low-VOC 1K and 2K waterborne floor-coating systems designed to provide eco-friendly, lower-VOC alternatives to traditional solvent-based coatings. The materials employed in these innovative systems showed remarkable performance when subjected to industry-standard tests.
Two of the more common 2K coatings systems are polyurethane and epoxy. This and next month’s Formulating with Mike column will concentrate on urethanes, with this issue focusing on polyurethane polymers.
This month’s Formulating with Mike column covers the life cycle assessment of alkyd emulsions and concludes the four-part series on alkyd emulsification.
This month’s Formulating with Mike column is the conclusion to a three-part series, and covers the emulsification process as well as test data of alkyd emulsions.
Dispersing agents that are suitable for all types of pigments create opportunities to simplify the process of producing high-performance waterborne pigment preparations without the need for extensive pre-testing phases.
Arkema announced that its SYNAQUA® 4856 alkyd has been approved to carry the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Certified Biobased Product label.
