Water-based DTM coatings present unique formulation challenges, requiring innovative resin and additive combinations to enhance adhesion, corrosion resistance and durability.

BASF Coatings announced increased polyester and polyurethane resin capacity at its Caojing plant and plans further enhancements beginning in 2026.

This study evaluates waterborne polyurethane and polyacrylate resins with water-dispersible polyisocyanates to enhance corrosion resistance, durability and coating performance on metal substrates.

A cutting-edge anticorrosion additive endured 6,000 hours of real-world coastal testing—revealing surprising results, including the standout performance of waterborne acrylic coatings in marine environments.

Two of the more common 2K coatings systems are polyurethane and epoxy. Part two of this series concentrates on urethanes and 100%-solids systems. 

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.

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.

Two of the more common 2K coatings systems are polyurethane and epoxy. This and next month’s Formulating with Mike column will concentrate on urethanes, with this issue focusing on polyurethane polymers. 

This article examines the physical properties of polyurethanes and polyureas, their differences, and a technology review with benefits and drawbacks of sub-coating classes.
