ULTRA LOW EMISSION COATINGS

However, reducing or eliminating the raw materials that would produce VOCs, like solvents and plasticisers in coatings, presents major technical challenges (Figure 1) [1]. Requirements for application properties for low VOC coatings, including low mix viscosity, short drying times and long pot life, all in a wide range of climatic conditions, must be achieved without compromising anticorrosive and mechanical properties. This major challenge is driving innovative formulation and new technological developments in curing agent chemistry, such as ours targeting a new class of amine curing agent, allowing epoxy coating formulators to design ultra-low VOC coatings that meet the challenging environmental ...
