PFAS regulation is becoming clearer but more fragmented, creating new reporting, product-use and compliance challenges for coatings and adhesives manufacturers.
Block resistance is one of the many performance requirements demanded of paint consumers today. This article discusses the role of latex in delivering on this goal. By utilizing a variety of polymer optimizations, removal of fluorosurfactant additives from formulations is possible without sacrificing other key properties.
Designed for use in protective coating applications for infrastructure and high-value assets, this fluoropolymer resin has a unique polymer structure with higher fluorine content
This study has shown that low-VOC waterborne fluorourethane paints can be formulated that are equal to the performance of solventborne fluorourethane paints when used on metal.
Fluoropolymer coatings provider Whitford has launched a Quality Approved Coater program in the United States that recognizes a limited number of coating applicators that meet strict criteria set by the coatings provider.
