Pigment Dispersants for Improving Color Development in Waterborne Acrylic and Styrene/Acrylic Paints
In order to achieve high-quality coatings, a pigment dispersion must be liquid, have an optimal particle size and be stable over long periods of time. Surfactants can offer dispersion and stabilization of the pigment particles. During the grinding process, dispersing agents distribute and stabilize....Monthly Highlight
WATERBORNE EPOXY COATING SYSTEMS WITH FREEZE/ THAW STABILITY AND IMPROVED PROPERTIES
Waterborne Epoxy Coating Systems
Waterborne two component epoxy/amine formulations can be an attractive alternative to solvent-based systems despite their higher cost and – in some respects – slightly reduced performance. The most important applications for water-based epoxy systems today are coatings on concrete, primers for metal, and epoxy cement concrete (ECC). However, one of the problems with low-VOC waterborne epoxy and hardener dispersions is that the freeze/thaw stability of these dispersions is often poor since common anti-freeze solvents are VOCs. We have found a surfactant system that imparts good freeze/thaw stability to epoxy dispersions. In addition, and perhaps more importantly, the stability and pot life of the dispersions are improved, often with improved cure times. Gloss and water resistance of the cured coatings were checked and are good. Formulations with good combinations of pot life, cure time, and freeze/thaw stability will be shared along with the presumed mechanisms for the excellent performance observed.Upcoming Conferences/Tradeshows
