OCCA Weekly Webinar - Eco-friendly crosslinking technology for water borne coating systems with reduced emissions
Venue: Webinar
Date: Wednesday 16th October 2024
Time: 14:30 – 15:30
OCCA Weekly Webinars Series 14 continues with "Eco-friendly crosslinking technology for water borne coating systems with reduced emissions" presented by Andreas Hermes of allnex Germany GmbH. The webinar will take place via Zoom on Wednesday 16 October at 2:30pm.
Abstract:
The coating industry has long relied on various crosslinking technologies, such as amino or phenol formaldehyde and isocyanates, known for their functionality and performance. However, increasing regulatory hurdles and critical labelling of resins necessitate enhanced protection for employees handling these hazardous substances.
ALLNEX has pioneered the development of a formaldehyde- and isocyanate-free technology that matches the exceptional properties of traditional melamine-formaldehyde resins, including superior UV stability, high chemical resistance and excellent surface finish. Historically, such advances products were only available for solvent based systems. ALLNEX has now successfully adapted this technology for aqueous coating systems. Our innovative product, CYMEL° NF 2264/87 WA is a formaldehyde-free melamine resin with high solids, low solvent content and balanced properties suitable for a wide range of applications.
