Waterborne Coatings for Heavy Duty Applications in M&PC Market

Coatings designed for heavy duty applications in the Marine & Protective Coatings market are exposed to aggressive environments such as strong chemical solvents, marine atmospheres, UV light, abrasion, among others. Nowadays, the major part of the commercially available products that target this industry are solvent borne.

Coatings designed for heavy duty applications in the Marine & Protective Coatings market are exposed to aggressive environments such as strong chemical solvents, marine atmospheres, UV light, abrasion, among others. Nowadays, the major part of the commercially available products that target this industry are solvent borne. The reduction of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and the need for more environmentally friendly technologies have been the driver for new developments on waterborne industrial coatings in several segments of the marketplace. Aligned with these global trends and to comply with heavy duty industry requirements, a combination of different chemistries for waterborne coatings was studied, for instance epoxy, polyurethane and acrylics. Particular attention has been paid to understand the waterborne epoxy system behavior compared to solvent borne reference products available in the market. This paper will demonstrate that waterborne epoxy systems can perform as well as solvent borne systems in harsh environments.
