A new water-based additive can provide low-gloss matte paint with the needed performance properties without dust mitigation or worker PPE.

Sustainable low-Mw and high-Mw polymers can be made without generating any waste during polymer synthesis, using reactive solvents and water as a reaction media.

Fibrillated cellulose is a 100%-natural, biodegradable and sustainable material. It performs as a multi-functional stabilizer with low impact on viscosity in a wide range of coatings applications, as well as supporting a more sustainable lifecycle.

The coating technology discussed in this article is a 100%-waterborne, high-ratio zinc silicate. When used as a single-coat system – or when complemented with a topcoat for aesthetics – the product delivers superior and complete corrosion-prevention benefits that are unmatched when compared to other "IOZ" systems used in the marine environment.

OH-functional acrylic emulsions can be designed with a wide range of hydroxyl values and performance characteristics to address the needs of many different applications in plastic, wood, automotive, and construction coatings.

The article also addresses a specific limitation (tint viscosity retention) that occurs with NISATs, and how next generation tint viscosity stabilizers help alleviate this concern.

A modular chemistry platform has been successfully leveraged to generate a new class of high-performance polymeric pigment dispersants.

A new difunctional water-based crosslinker is used to crosslink acid or carboxyl functional coatings, inks and adhesives to increase adhesion, physical and chemical properties.

Recent research conducted at Iowa State University has developed an innovative coating additive made from amphiphilic Janus particles that can alter the surface properties of a waterborne coating system.

Water-based epoxy resin and curing agents have been developed that can used together as a system to provide corrosion protection coatings with low VOC content, less than 100 grams per liter.
