Recorded Thursday, August 23 – Presented by EPS

For years, styrene-acrylic emulsions have been used as waterborne solutions for anticorrosive applications. Many of these polymers have been able to reduce VOC content to between 100-200g/L. However, due to increased regulatory pressure, the need to develop polymers with even lower VOC capabilities is necessary. With this push comes the need for binders with lower filming temperature; these often have an adverse effect on a number of DTM performance properties. The most prevalent of these are hardness, block resistance and corrosion resistance. To address the market need in this area, EPS has developed a next generation, 50g/L capable, styrene-acrylic emulsion with the ability to pass extended wet adhesion tests, withstand thin film corrosion testing, and rapidly develop anti-blocking properties. This next generation technology provides a regulatory compliant and low VOC emulsion capable of providing the performance necessary for demanding applications.

  • Regulatory complaint, 50g/L VOC capable
  • High corrosion resistance performance in thin film applications
  • Passes extended wet adhesion tests
  • Provides cost savings on material and labor
