Thanks to its VOC-reduced or VOC-free character,
waterborne coating is a fast developing
technology. In many applications, waterbased
systems have become a standard solution,
replacing their solvent-based counterparts.
This session picks up new binder-based and
additive developments for waterborne coatings
for different applications, such as new self-
crosslinking acrylic resins, new defoamers
design concepts and a new class of pressure
sensitive adhesives.

Smart and functional coatings are often referred
to as structured coatings providing additional
benefits by giving an appropriate response to
outside conditions. Much talked about are self-
healing or superhydrophobic and hydrophilic
coatings, to name a few. More examples will be
given in this session, comprising IR-reflecting
coatings, functionalization on demand and
re-chargeable coatings. Other interesting
developments are core-shell nanostructures
for photovoltaic and easy-to clean coatings.

Raw materials suppliers are in constant search
for innovative products and technologies that
offer new opportunities for the design and
improvement of coatings systems. Examples
presented in this session include novel rheology
additives zero VOC de-aerators for waterborne
coatings, novel methacrylic core-shell polymers
with polymer-fixed activators, a new generation
of barium sulphate and tailor made wetting and
levelling agents.
