ings based on epoxy acrylic hybrids are
gaining recognition as viable one component greener alternatives to more
traditional epoxy coatings,” said
Morris. “One-component systems
based on these hybrid chemistries are
well suited for exterior applications.
These hybrids contain epoxy functionality that is copolymerized with acrylic
monomers. This process leads to a high
molecular weight copolymer with non-yellowing characteristics. Coatings formulated with these copolymers are
suitable for a wide range of applications including concrete sealers and
garage floor coatings.”
Highlights of the innovative technologies track also included “Basic
