Opaque polymer for solvent- and waterbased coatings
Tuesday, 14 September 2010
Study on the use of opaque polymer to reduce formulation costs.
An opaque hollow sphere polymer has been synthesized for use in architectural solventborne alkyd paints. It has sufficient resistance to the solvents normally used in these formulation to retain its particle integrity. The use of this opaque polymer can allow a significant reduction in TiO2 usage while maintaining opacity, and can help to reduce formulation costs as Alain Garzon, Dow Coating Materials explains in his article published in the September issue of the
