High-solids, two-component acrylic polyurethane coating formulations were prepared using a new low-viscosity, reactive diluent that incorporates directly into the final polymer network. The resulting acrylic coatings were found to increase the solids content of formulations without compromising mechanical performance. Acrylic polyurethane coating samples containing the diluent were evaluated for weatherability performance via QUV and environmental chamber studies.

A series of novel isocyanates based on low-free monomer TDI prepolymer technology has been developed for spray polyurea applications. Coatings formulated using these new raw materials have shown significantly higher tensile strength, modulus, abrasion resistance and tear strength compared to conventional MDI-based isocyanates.
There is a new family of 100% renewably sourced and high performance poly (trimethylene ether) polyols which is being manufactured in a sustainable process using an ingredient derived from agricultural feedstock. Owing to its unique structure, these polyether diols have many useful properties such as low viscosity, low melting point, slow crystallization rates, high flexibility, resistance to heat and acidic environments. These attributes are ideal for coating applications.
Tensile pull-off adhesion testing is becoming a more frequent specification requirement for in situ quality assurance testing to confirm proper surface preparation and adhesion of high performance protective linings applied to concrete. It is also becoming a widely used test for forensic analysis of protective linings in existing installations. There have been numerous investigations leading to the development of different devices and test pull-off adhesion methods used to assess bond strengths of mortars and overlay materials
Design of waterborne acrylic and styrenated acrylic resins for metal protection requires balancing a multitude of often competing properties. One classic example is attempting to maintain hardness and block resistance while simultaneously reducing the volatile organic content (VOC) demand of waterborne paints. During a recent new product development project, another recurring tradeoff emerged – attempting to deliver a robust adhesion profile while maximizing corrosion resistance.
The use of traditional corrosion inhibitors in paints and coatings continues to be challenged from both an environmental and performance aspect. End users are demanding better corrosion performance, and in many cases, this cannot be achieved with traditional zinc or chromate type inhibitors. The use of VCIs (vapor corrosion inhibitors) in coating formulations has shown that in many systems, they can replace the older technology or significantly improve the performance of the system by working in synergy with the existing inhibitors.
A newly developed two-component zero VOC water based epoxy topcoat, based on a solid epoxy resin dispersion cured with modified amine, offers comparable performance to solvent based and high VOC water based epoxies and exhibits good corrosion and chemical resistance. The performance properties of the new innovative zero VOC water based epoxy topcoat are reviewed and compared to solvent based and high VOC water based epoxies used in industrial maintenance applications.
