PU: waterbased systems dominate parquet flooring

Polyurethane-based coatings have been used for manual parquet flooring for some time now. Dr. Christof Irle, 2K waterborne coatings expert at Bayer MaterialScience, comments on the dominance ofwaterbased systems and mentions new raw materials and formulations for this area. R&D activities are currently focusing solutions to eliminate or reduce solvents emissions.

Toughening of epoxy coating systems with novel biobased materials

The market is looking for possibilities to reduce weight by reduction of the thickness of metal sheets and maintain the protective properties. To meet these needs, there is a demand for moreflexible, but tough systems without compromising on the other properties. Erwin Honcoop, Croda explains how this can be achieved.
