Alongside performance and costs, sustainability aspects are progressively more decisive for the market success of a coating. As water-borne systems become mainstream, technology companies are increasingly looking to take the next step in sustainability. This means looking for ways to use monomers derived from biological sources as building blocks for binders and hardeners, and thereby reducing the use of fossil resources. In addition, the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) of the coating raw materials - and thus that of the resulting coatings - is reduced. There is a particularly high demand for biobased systems in ...
