Bio-based powder coatings are evolving through R&D and commercial launches, offering sustainable alternatives without sacrificing performance or durability.
To add to the pursuit of a climate-neutral Europe and a truly circular economy, one company’s project develops and validates a new generation of industrial wood and decorative coatings with significantly more than 25% bio-based components.
This article discusses a unique, biobased solution designed for thermoplastic road marking formulations. The new technology improves two critical performance characteristics in a rosin ester - initial light color and oxidative stability.
Fibrillated cellulose is a 100%-natural, biodegradable and sustainable material. It performs as a multi-functional stabilizer with low impact on viscosity in a wide range of coatings applications, as well as supporting a more sustainable lifecycle.
Scientists and artists alike have been invested in isolating pigments from nature and developing novel pigment technologies for coatings and other industries.
Following the results from this study, biobased preventative is an excellent and environmentally acceptable alternative to petroleum-based products in temporary corrosion protection.
Battelle is developing a biobased resin that delivers high performance in a product that cures at temperatures low enough to be used on wood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and many types of plastics.
Waterborne OMU has all the advantages of solventborne OMU including inherent mar resistance, chemical resistance and amber film color, while overcoming the shortcomings of low-VOC solventborne OMU including slow dry and softer film.
