The global water-based coatings market is projected to experience a steady compound annual growth rate in the coming decade. The evolution of resin, additive, and pigment technologies further propels the adoption of water-based paint and coatings, globally. Read about some of the insights into the projected rise of waterborne coatings.
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.
A new technology in advanced light scattering and TiO2 optimization generates a novel universal coatings system for multiple substrates and market segments. This self-build technology maximizes efficiency to the core utility of paint and coatings (opacity) under which all sub-utilities and benefits reside.
PCI’s “Did You Know” column has published a wealth of information about redox chemistries for use in emulsion polymerizations. This edition focuses on its use in aqueous-based polymer dispersions.
A new-to-market molecule brings a unique combination of balanced properties that deliver several performance advantages in waterborne automotive and industrial coatings and inks.
Going water-based gives manufacturers a route for improving a coating’s environmental impact, and for reducing the carbon footprint. What existing support is available to overcome obstacles for formulators and facilitate the wider adoption of water-based solutions?
In addition to good adhesion and rust prevention, a metal coating must be equipped to meet force-dry, high-slip, or high-temp requirements in certain applications. To address these needs, one company offers two specialty versions of a high-performing, water-based, anti-corrosion coating for industrial applications.
The company will supply its full water-based Sikkens range, including basecoats, primer and clearcoats, to provide Porsche China with a complete water-based solution for its refinishing needs.
Bio-based coatings encompass a broad product category. They use natural resources such as essential oils, foods, and forest products to perform comparably to those typically derived from fossil fuels. This article discusses bio-based materials in the coatings market and offers insights about future developments.
On Demand Exilva’s unique rheological properties allow for increased stability as well as an easier application of paint. The superior mud crack resistance allows applying thick layers without any fear of cracking.
