Session 5: Architectural Coatings I
Speaker(s):
Karen Wallace;
Dan Stark, Arkema Coating Resins
Deck restoration products comprise a relatively new segment for the architectural coatings market. Coatings marketed for this application are typically higher volume solids than a traditional wall paint and are applied at dry film thicknesses between 20 and 40 mils. Final formulation plays a significant role in the final properties achieved in the field. Arkema Coating Resins is currently developing the next generation APEO Free base latex for this application and has investigated the impact of coalescent on coating performance. Coalescent choice and level can impact the coatings ability to maintain flexibility and adhesion to the substrate. Proper coalescent selection has also been shown to significantly impact the durability and scratch resistance of a cast film. An experimental method to predict film flexibility and durability in the field is proposed.
