The epoxy resin market size was estimated at USD 11.85 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 12.65 billion in 2024. At a CAGR of 6.76%, it is expected to reach USD 18.74 billion by 2030. The development of the epoxy resin market faces several limitations and challenges, such as volatility of raw material prices, stringent environmental regulations, and sensitivity to external conditions.
A new wetting agent enhances wetting behavior, particularly in wood coatings. The innovative approach is based on a comparative evaluation of silicone-free and silicone-based surfactants, focusing on surface tension and contact angle.
There are many commercial applications where both floors and walls must be sealed and protected from moisture. Many of those are in restaurants and food processing plants where walls are scrubbed down every day. The right coating can ensure these spaces last longer.
This study comprehensively evaluated novel, ultra-low-VOC 1K and 2K waterborne floor-coating systems designed to provide eco-friendly, lower-VOC alternatives to traditional solvent-based coatings. The materials employed in these innovative systems showed remarkable performance when subjected to industry-standard tests.
For 2023, AmCoat’s Floor Shield brand has added 14 new dealers, helping the polyaspartic floor coating company post positive results over 2022 – a 33% increase.
Amidst a global push for sustainability, the paint and coatings industry now provides natural, sustainable options that can enhance physical and mechanical properties of coating formulations. The source material of some of these innovations even include a circular raw material: the olive pit.
The expanded range comprises integrated systems of primers, base and topcoats for environments that require electrostatic protection, for equipment mechanical rooms and for applications where a combination of high performance and ultra-fast return to service is essential.
A Resuflor™ topcoat system has been used to ensure a reliable and robust floor surface for the L-159E aircraft that are being used to conduct combat training.
