Hexion Launches Technology for Isocyanate-free Coatings at ECS
03.21.19
Hexion Inc. is highlighting unique technology based on its VeoVa vinyl ester, a Versatic Acids & Derivatives product, and silane monomers at the 2019 European Coatings Show.
Hexion’s technology platform enables the creation of cost-effective, high-performance, and isocyanate-free resins. The use of economic vinyl silane monomers delivers a cost-effective coating solution when compared to acrylic- and epoxy polysiloxanes technology.
The versatility and flexibility of the VeoVa Silane technology allows customers to tailor their products for the desired end uses. These systems are free of isocyanates, and provide customers the ability to balance hardness and flexibility, pot life and cure speed, while creating paths to deliver similar performance as two-component (2K) polyurethane coatings. Ultimately, VeoVa Silane binders can create affordable and high-performance protective solutions for many end markets and applications, such as marine, protective and wood coatings.
“Both Hexion and our partners see this unique technology as a breakthrough in high-performance binders,” said Harold Schweitzer, VP and general manager, Versatic Acids & Derivatives. “The exclusive combination of high-performance, fast-curing development, the absence of isocyanates, and a very friendly cost base explains the enthusiasm of our customers.”
