In the realm of wood coatings, achieving a "natural look" has become a hallmark of modern design. To accomplish this, not only is low gloss required but also high transparency to preserve the vibrant colors of the wood.

The new resin is made without the use of intentionally added fluorosurfactants and ideal for flat through semi-gloss coatings. 

EPS^® (Engineered Polymer Solutions) has launched EPS 2133, an all-acrylic polymer made without APEO surfactants that can be formulated for permanent and removable pressure-sensitive adhesive applications.

These binders offer the same quality and performance of our existing ACRONAL products, with the added benefit of a reduced CO² footprint for a more sustainable can of paint.

According to the announcement, this €130 million investment in a new purification process will lead to more energy-efficient and lower carbon-intensive operations, optimized resources, and waste management.

The market for architectural coatings is projected to grow from $85.1 billion in 2023 to $102 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 3.9%. Read about key factors that provide market players with growth opportunities, as well as the potential challenges players could face during the forecast period.

Sustainability dominated every conversation at the 2023 European Coatings Show. Learn about some of the innovative technologies that were introduced to help the industry formulate, manufacture, and apply the coatings of tomorrow.

SAFIC-ALCAN will distribute Scott Bader’s acrylic polymers and inverse emulsions for paints, coatings, inks, adhesives, construction, and other industrial formulations except textiles.

Engineered Polymer Solutions launched EPS^® 2585, a high-solids waterborne acrylic emulsion that provides the capability to formulate direct-to metal applications at <100g/L VOC.

Through this integration, EPS has broadened its product portfolio and technological expertise, further diversifying its position in the polymer and pigment dispersion industry. SPI products will continue to be sold by EPS under their current product names.
