Water-Based Coatings Based on Mixtures of Acrylic Dispersions and Alkyd Emulsions

In this work acrylic dispersions were mixed with alkyd emulsions to obtain coatings that lower the amount of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in surface coatings. The advantage of this approach is that the fast drying of the acrylic is combined with the good film properties of the alkyd. Films produ...

Description
Summary:In this work acrylic dispersions were mixed with alkyd emulsions to obtain coatings that lower the amount of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in surface coatings. The advantage of this approach is that the fast drying of the acrylic is combined with the good film properties of the alkyd. Films produced with an alkyd and a soft acrylic (AA1) did not exhibit good film properties. Whereas, films produced with a hard acrylic (SA1 and AA2) and a soft alkyd gave films with good appearance, appropriate drying times, superior pendulum hardness and promising values of gloss. VOC was calculated below 25 g/L. The novel mixtures may be applied as high gloss enamels for architectural coatings.
