Today, many coatings producers are increasingly focusing their production towards water-based coatings and are moving away from solvent-based formulations. This is to reduce the VOC content of their formulations, not only to make it friendlier for the end-user, but also to improve the sustainability impact on the environment by reducing their CO₂ footprint. 

This study has shown that low-VOC waterborne fluorourethane paints can be formulated that are equal to the performance of solventborne fluorourethane paints when used on metal.

Ceramic microspheres may offer formulators alternatives in waterborne UV-curable coatings to serve as both a matting agent and functional performance filler.

Results show that FEVE resins provide water-based and high-solids coatings excellent resistance to UV degradation.
