After an inauspicious introduction more than a half-century ago, vinyl acetate-ethylene technology finally appears poised to go mainstream in the coatings market.

RHOPLEX EC-3100 is an all-acrylic polymer designed primarily for use in pigmented elastomeric basecoats to provide adhesion to weathered TPO roofing membranes.

This article highlights a new cobalt-free catalyst that helps to achieve the necessary cure time as well as improve properties associated with water-based, high solids alkyds and alkyd-modified resins.

The commercial availability of LALS detectors allows GPC practitioners to measure the molecular weight of a sample with certainty, avoiding any issues of data extrapolation or data fitting. 

This study demonstrates that 2K waterborne polyurethane clearcoats can be a technology of choice in automotive clearcoat applications in order to combine high-demanding requirements and sustainability development concerns. 

This paper will review the current use of silica nanoparticles in UV-curable coatings and introduce effective approaches for delivering silica nanoparticles to UV-curable resin formulations without the drawbacks of current solvent- or monomer-based silica nanoparticle dispersions.

A series of new acrylate monomers and oligomers with high renewable carbon content and differentiated physical properties has been developed.
