Baril Coatings adopted the Decovery plant-based resin for a new generation of sustainable paints, Royal DSM said.
The Decovery family contains anywhere from 30 to 50 percent plant-based content such as seeds, tree bark, corn and castor beans. It delivers a potential 34 percent carbon footprint reduction with zero-to-low VOCs and all with no compromise on the performance of the paint compared to conventional crude oil-based acrylic equivalent resins.
Baril Coatings is using the Decovery resin to produce new plant-based products under the Copperant Altra umbrella, starting with the introduction of the wall paint and spackspray on the Schilder, Glas & Afbouw Vakdagen (S.G.A. Vakdagen) in Gorinchem.
Copperant Altra Wall Paint is a multi-use matt wall paint suitable for both indoor and outdoor use on stone surfaces like concrete, masonry, plaster, sheet material, and glass fabric; Copperant Altra Spackspray is a 100 percent titanium white-free, matt spack spray paint suitable for indoor use on stone surfaces like concrete, masonry, (fresh) plaster and pre-treated sheet material.
“By creating paint made from plants we no longer have to worry about the availability of sustainable raw materials – but most importantly we can make a positive impact on global Co2 levels,” Baril Coatings Managing Director Geert Duijghuisen said.
“Our partnership with Baril Coatings is yet another example of how we are seeing a growing momentum shift across the coatings value chain – increasingly led by consumers themselves – towards lovingly crafted products that respect the planet and our environment while delivering performance,” said Tineke Woort, project director for Decovery. “…[W]hile we still have a long road ahead before we reach our goal of 100 percent plant-based coatings, together with our partners we are proving that it really is possible to do well by doing good.”
