Research talk: Coatings with Improved Eco-Footprint through the use of Polymer Pigment Composites
Time: 12:05pm - 12:55 pm
Location: MoSE 1201A

Abstract:  In the United States, approximately 700 million gallons of house paint are produced each year. Practical adsorbing latex polymer technology is a new innovation in the coatings industry which offers the ability to improve the sustainability while lowering the cost of paint. This is accomplished by reducing dependence on TiO2, a key raw material with a large impact on the environmental footprint of white and pastel paint bases.  This novel technology replaces the conventional paint binder with a smarter material which does everything the conventional binderdoes while additionally improving pigment efficiency.  These polymeric pre-composite binder particles have been designed to interact with coatings grade TiO2particles.  By employing pre-composite binders during the standard paint making process, pigment / polymer composites self assemble which result in a more ordered distribution of TiO2 in the paint film, improving not only hiding but barrier properties as well.  

Pre-composite polymers offer a powerful advantage by combining improvements in sustainability, performance,and economics.  This innovative technology provides cost-efficient improvements in key sustainability metrics as demonstrated by third-party validated life cycle assessment.  Production of this technology is measured by millions of pounds and was recently awarded a US EPA Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award.
