Form classic coatings to biobased systems: Principles, potentials and optimisation

 
With an increasing demand of bio-based coatings the question of how to formulate them and which raw materials to use gains importance. But where to start and how to overcome the challenges in switching from a petrochemical formulation to a bio-based one? What is already possible today? What could future formulation look like? Through modification of fatty acids from vegetable oil we at HOBUM Oleochemicals produce biobased binders since 60 years. Together with you, we are going to answer these questions and share examples from our daily work.
