Block resistance is one of the many performance requirements demanded of paint consumers today. This article discusses the role of latex in delivering on this goal. By utilizing a variety of polymer optimizations, removal of fluorosurfactant additives from formulations is possible without sacrificing other key properties.
Designed for use in protective coating applications for infrastructure and high-value assets, this fluoropolymer resin has a unique polymer structure with higher fluorine content
This study has shown that low-VOC waterborne fluorourethane paints can be formulated that are equal to the performance of solventborne fluorourethane paints when used on metal.
Fluoropolymer coatings provider Whitford has launched a Quality Approved Coater program in the United States that recognizes a limited number of coating applicators that meet strict criteria set by the coatings provider.
Although silicone-modified polyester (SMP) and super-polyester coatings are well-suited for specific applications, they cannot provide the same proven long-term performance as 70% polyvinylidene (PVDF) coatings due to the latter’s superior chemistry.
Hydro PLIOLITE® 010 is a very suitable emulsion for anti-carbonation paints, giving the coating a penetrative adhesion to the substrate, a secure film formation, excellent ageing characteristics and a long-term barrier against carbon dioxide, water and oxygen.
