Architectural Coatings

Because Duranar coatings’ molecular structure is invulnerable to the effects of ultraviolet (UV) light, salt spray, acid rain, corrosive chemicals and other environmental stresses on color and gloss, they offered a perfect solution for this unique building.

Without the existence of specialized rods and cones inside the human eye, the world around us would be a much duller place. Without color, a key component of our visible experience would be lost and entire industries would be flushed away or dramatically altered, including interior and graphic design, clothing retail, advertising and especially the manufacturing of paints and coatings.

Fluropon is field-proven and provides outstanding resistance to ultraviolet rays, chalking and chemical degradation, plus exceptional color and gloss retention.

This study utilized multiple hardness and tack testing procedures in order to fully understand the hardness profile of architectural paints.

Tomorrow’s paints and coatings can be much more than a pretty surface. Many of them will be smart, functional materials that respond to, and change, the environments around them.

AgriEsters (methyl soyate, palm and coconut esters) are a new, low-cost alternative that can help emulsify old solvent-based resins (bead acrylics, oil-based alkyds and polyterpenes), giving formulators new alternatives.

In this study a higher number of cells were recovered from a diluted, low-nutrient medium than from the undiluted, nutrient-rich medium.

IR pigments allow paint formulators and coatings chemists to develop differentiated and functional coatings.

The design elements’ dichotomy creates an iconic exterior that honors the contrast between city life and nature, and would not have been possible without the fierce color matching process provided by Valspar.

It seems as if the coatings industry may benefit more by exploring the ideas of those outside the industry.
