A leading tube producer transitioned to UV coatings, eliminating VOCs while achieving faster production speeds, reduced remediation costs and enhanced environmental compliance.
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.
This article offers a comprehensive guide to the impact that 100%-VOC coalescents that are still present in the paint industry (such as glycol ethers and glycol ether acetates) have on the properties of coatings with different PVC based on various dispersions and for various applications.
Polycaprolactone (PCL) polyols can be used to enhance coatings that feature other polymer chemistries in both 1K and 2K coatings. This article explores the performance benefits achieved when low-molecular-weight PCL tri- and tetra-functional polyols are blended with other hydroxyl-functional polymers in 2K coatings.
The new agent offers excellent leveling for solventborne clear coats, excellent anti-popping properties, and is very easy to process due to low viscosity.
Effective April 15, 2014, or as contracts allow, Arkema Coating Resins will increase pricing on solventborne polyesters and alkyds sold in North America.
