Materials for Waterborne Coating Formulation
Gaia’s materials aim to support our customers to keep abreast with the current advances in coating systems. In recent years, strict environmental and health standards and heightened consumer awareness have pushed adaptation of waterborne coating systems over their traditional solvent borne counterparts in many applications. The biggest challenge for paint companies has been how to shift to waterborne from solvent borne systems, without significant loss of good film durability and desirable application features such as processing options, free-flowing properties, consistency and gloss control, surface appearance and drying time etc. Our selected series of binders and additives, ranging from waterborne epoxy resins and curing agents (hardeners), to polyurethane dispersions (PUD), flash rust inhibitors, specialty additives etc., allow paint formulators to achieve environmental and health criteria compliances, while maintaining great performance. Whether you are formulating a waterborne epoxy primer, or a waterborne epoxy / PUD topcoat, we can supply all the materials you will need. With our in-depth industrial experience in this field, we can provide you with expert formulation guidance and problem solving technical assistance, ensuring your success.
