This article introduces two methods to produce high-performance, solvent-free waterborne acrylic polyols using glycidyl neodecanoate or its acrylated adduct.
Arkema finalized the acquisition of Polimeros Especiales, strengthening the Group’s offering in solvent-free solutions and its position in this fast-growing region.
Engineered Polymer Solutions (EPS) launched a new all-acrylic polymer for high-performance gloss interior and exterior architectural DIY or professional paints.
This technology showed a large effect on the dirt-pickup resistance, even at Tgs as low as -26 °C, requiring no formulation modification compared to an unmodified formula.
Decovery SP-8310 is a 37% bio-based, breathable, multi-purpose acrylic resin that enables exterior coatings with improved outdoor durability and enhanced bio-based content.
Sustainable low-Mw and high-Mw polymers can be made without generating any waste during polymer synthesis, using reactive solvents and water as a reaction media.
This study reveals the degradation mechanism of a typical acrylic melamine automotive clearcoat caused by bird droppings. It was found that natural bird droppings and pancreatin are able to catalyze the hydrolytic cleavage of etheric and esteric linkages of acrylic melamine clearcoats, leaving etched areas and local defects as well as a decreased appearance on the clearcoat surface.
Al Kidd's first sign of a problem was the strong, acrid smell that burned his nose. What was the material in the drum that caused the smoke? What had caused the material to react so violently?
Synthomer has developed a novel styrene acrylic binder with excellent water resistance, scrub resistance and hiding power, and that potentially enables the paint and coatings industry to optimize binder and pigment dosage, resulting in paint property, carbon footprint and cost improvements.
