Selection Guides to Best Choose your Coatings Ingredients

Using bioresources for producing products with high added value is becoming more and more important in the context of biotechonomy. It is because of this reason that formulators are researching to create innovative, novel biomaterials with a reduced carbon footprint to reinvent coatings and other materials with a greener approach. Explore here, the latest research activities in lignin, wood hemicellulose-derived sugars, wood extracts... driving the development in biomass derived chemicals. Also, find out the list of potential barriers related to technology, market, and resources towards the development of bio-products.

Coalescing agents/ film formers are used in dispersion paints for optimizing the film formation process of the polymeric binder particles. Coalescing agents typically reduce the minimal formation temperature and as a consequence, optimize film coherence and properties such as scrub resistance, mechanical properties as well as appearance. Understand the process of coalescence and role of coalescing agents in coating film formation along with their major types and property profile.
