Resins for Architectural Coatings
Innovative acrylic resins that push the boundaries of polymer chemistry, offering dirt pickup resistance (DPUR), gloss retention, and durability for interior and exterior applications. We are pioneering next generation high-performance technology of polymers with no intentionally added fluorosurfactants.

Architectural Binder with Excellent Chemical, Cleaner and Abrasion Resistance
The use of low-VOC capable, all-acrylic binders in consumer paints is common; however, they are less frequently used in high-traffic commercial and institutional coatings due to poor chemical and abrasion resistance. Through systematic design principles, design of experiment and six sigma methodologies, an all-acrylic binder has been developed to match or surpass a single-component, pre-catalyzed water-borne epoxy for chemical and cleaner resistance, as well as abrasion resistance and other hardness properties.

Exterior Durability in All-Acrylic Architectural Gloss Coatings
Maximizing the gloss retention and dirt-pickup resistance (DPUR) is a key requirement for many exterior architectural coatings and is a target that many commercial paints struggle to meet. In this study, the exterior durability of a range of resins and paints were evaluated. In particular, for DPUR, an accelerated testing method is compared to exterior exposure data collected from Midwest and West Coast test fence locations.
