PCI recently traveled to the Powder Coating Summit in Lombard, Illinois, where low-temperature-cure powder coatings were a hot topic. PCI asked Dr. Robert Duan, ChemQuest president, and his colleague, Kevin Biller, to provide some background on the new trends, developments, and drivers pushing this topic to the forefront of the powder coatings industry.
These epoxy curing agents can achieve zero-VOC floor coatings, excellent adhesion to poorly prepared concrete, good water resistance and fast return-to-service.
A new binder for water-based wood trim paints is based on a heterogeneous acrylic polymer structure. It combines excellent flexibility and high blocking resistance, while maintaining low VOC content.
The low-VOC coatings market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.0% by 2024. Water¬borne, powder and radiation cure technologies are the major low-VOC coating technologies, and are thus gaining in popularity.
Functional binders, when incorporated in low-VOC architectural coatings, offer a wide range of benefits in construction applications in terms of texture as well as durability.
The adhesion/corrosion balance of the previous study yielded significant new insights into resin design. Polymers with good wet adhesion and good corrosion resistance could be isolated, and those properties correlated back to their monomer compositions and particle morphologies.
The present study shows that the reactive diluent Tolonate X FLO 100, used in blend with conventional HDI-based polyisocyanates, can bring significant advantages to 2K polyaspartic systems.
Architectural low-VOC coatings can be formulated with dibenzoate glycol esters to have increased hardness, block resistance, gloss and scrub resistance.
In order to affect true change, we must develop products that touch on several of the change drivers, including regulatory issues, total cost of painting and performance
