Binder and colour solutions in architectural coatings

 
A recent trend in architectural coatings has been to provide additive solutions that are multi-functional. Solvay offers a range of phosphate ester emulsifiers and specialty monomers that deliver multi-functionality. Our phosphate esters emulsifiers and monomers provide particle size control, stability, metal adhesion and flash rust resistance to emulsion producers. Likewise there is a shift in pigment dispersants in the architectural coatings market. A lot of work has been done in the base paints. Now colorant producers are focusing on optimizing their dispersions to maximize efficency while addressing VOC, Ecolabel and REACH regulations. Solvay has introduced a new series of high performance Rhodoline 3000 and Rhodoline 4000 series dispersants and compatabilizers which provide exceptional color strength development and higher pigment loading while delivering improved stabilityc
