VAE and the "green" side of architectural coatings

 
Renewables have been becoming more and more popular in recent years and this trend looks set to continue. The standard binder systems currently used in interior paints have not been readily available in renewable versions. By contrast, the renewable solutions available often have restricted performance and in many cases need to be reformulated. VAE technology has been used extensively in interior paints in Europe over the last decade. WACKER has done a lot of work to tailor VAE technology to renewables. At the European Coatings Technology Forum - Biobased Coatings, WACKER will present two different approaches to this issue, each with its own distinct benefits
