Cobalt carboxylates are commonly used as catalysts for the oxidative crosslinking of alkyd resins, which accelerate the drying of paints, inks, and coatings. Despite their effectiveness, alternatives are increasingly sought after.

The objective of this collaboration was to showcase the performance of sustainable, soy-based coating materials in real-world formulations, comparing them to benchmarks derived from petroleum-based counterparts. Part II of this series focuses on soy-alkyd dispersion paint. 

Two of the more common 2K coatings systems are polyurethane and epoxy. Part two of this series concentrates on urethanes and 100%-solids systems. 

This study comprehensively evaluated novel, ultra-low-VOC 1K and 2K waterborne floor-coating systems designed to provide eco-friendly, lower-VOC alternatives to traditional solvent-based coatings. The materials employed in these innovative systems showed remarkable performance when subjected to industry-standard tests.

Two of the more common 2K coatings systems are polyurethane and epoxy. This and next month’s Formulating with Mike column will concentrate on urethanes, with this issue focusing on polyurethane polymers. 

This month’s Formulating with Mike column covers the life cycle assessment of alkyd emulsions and concludes the four-part series on alkyd emulsification.

This month’s Formulating with Mike column is the conclusion to a three-part series, and covers the emulsification process as well as test data of alkyd emulsions.

This month’s Formulating with Mike column covers how alkyds have changed from high-VOC resins to low-solvent-containing, water-based emulsions.

The new range of colorants is designed for use in a number of products, and targeted primarily at industrial users and paint brands.

This month’s Formulating with Mike column covers the history and evolution of solvent-based alkyds.
