Resins suppliers are offering a variety of technologies to cater to customers looking to formulate "greener" products.
To help formulators address global sustainability trends, Dow offers EVOQUE Pre-Composite Polymer, which allows formulators to develop paint using fewer raw materials like titanium dioxide while increasing hiding and life cycle.
“A third party Life Cycle Analysis showed paints formulated with EVOQUE Technology yielded the lowest environmental impact compared to similar technologies while demonstrating heightened stain resistance and durability,” said Sylvia Insogna, North American marketing director, Dow Coating Materials. “EVOQUE Technology enhances resistance to household stains and dirt pickup while blocking tannin stains and resisting corrosion. In 2013, Dow was named a winner of the 2013 U.S. EPA Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award for EVOQUE Technology. Dow is also introducing FORMASHIELD 12 Acrylic Binder, which improves indoor air quality by abating formaldehyde that is naturally emitted through common household items.”
