Dow brings higher performance to water-based formulations of industrial coatings

On March 20, 2020, Dow, the world's leading material science company, launched two innovative technologies to simplify the formulation of water-based high temperature resistant industrial coatings "We combine our deep knowledge of organosilicon chemistry with our unique experience in the formulation of waterborne coatings to bring innovative products to the market and help our customers improve the competitiveness of the formulation," said Isabelle riff, market manager of organosilicon coatings "We innovate to respond to strong market trends, driving demand for high-performance, water-based formulas These formulations meet more stringent environmental requirements " DOWSIL8016 waterborne resin is a new generation of silicone resin emulsion for high temperature waterborne coating systems The odor and volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions are very small It has high temperature resistance up to 500-600 ℃, and improves the hardness of the coating to protect the metal substrate When a suitable condensation catalyst is used, it can be air dried Compared with the traditional solvent based formulation, the resin can achieve high coating performance and beautiful results without the use of solvents or coalescers Therefore, it has excellent sustainability and is conducive to environmental protection As the industry continues to work to limit VOC emissions, this innovation enables formulation designers of high temperature resistant coatings to meet increasingly stringent requirements Xavier mollat Du jourdin, technical support and development manager, will present the details of the new water-based coating silicone resin at a special webinar on Wednesday, April 22, 2020, at 10 a.m EDT, and demonstrate its performance characteristics in oven cured coatings Dow also announced a new generation of foam control agent DOWSIL? 107F additive, which has both improved compatibility and the best performance of low-dose waterborne coatings Dow also announced a formula defoamer based on organosilicon polyether and hydrophobic silica, which is designed for use in the fields of architecture, wood and metal coatings （PUWORLD）
