As the successor to Zenith, Cerulean™ brings the ‘best of both worlds’ to distributors and OEMs, with a luxurious finish that offers the feel of solvent-based solutions.
Designed for protection in clear wood finishes, the new product is a TEA-free, low-VOC, 50% solids, self-crosslinking waterborne polyurethane dispersion that delivers high abrasion, chemical, and black heel mark resistance.
HGTV Home® by Sherwin-Williams introduced new cabinet and furniture paint, a new acrylic urethane enamel that provides a factory-like finish on cabinets and furniture, can be tinted to any color, and is offered in satin and semi-gloss sheens.
When comparing the performance of polymer emulsions made with substituted styrene versus conventional styrene in direct-to-metal, wood coatings, concrete sealer, and FR/intumescent coating applications, the results demonstrate improved performance properties when the substitute is utilized.
Both the sealer and the semi-transparent stain are formulated for all environments, even those in the harshest areas near open water. They are formulated to penetrate below the surface and create a flexible, breathable barrier that expands and contracts with environmental elements to protect against water damage.
The new range provides a complete spectrum of sheens, from high gloss to dead flat, and draws inspiration from the rich heritage and craftsmanship of trusted, Italian-inspired formulations.
Waterborne coatings have well-known benefits including a far-lower VOC-emissions profile, and lower inherent flammability, which make them generally safer to store and handle. There are still some common misperceptions around waterborne coatings, slowing their use. This article debunks a few of the most common myths.
A coating with low gloss and high transparency is the basis for a matte finish, without affecting the color strength and thus, leading to a very natural wood look even with dark tones. The work presented here outlines the development and application data of an inherently matte, waterborne acrylic polymer.
On Demand This presentation describes how novel SPHERILEX® silica particles can be used to improve wet scrub and burnish resistance of architectural paints and to boost the performance of traditional silica matting agents to achieve deep matte wood coatings that have significantly improved scratch, burnish and mar resistance.
