This paper will focus on the advancement of waterborne acrylic coatings that features self-stratifying technology which significantly advances performance of color and gloss retention. Various analytical methods were used to verify stratification. Magnified cross sections of the coating film will show the layered effect and discussion of how these multiple micro-paint layers outperform standard acrylics. An overview of performance testing will be presented to demonstrate the value of this technology and how it contributes to longer lifecycle costs and lower overall project costs.
Protective coatings based on waterborne acrylic technology have been used in the design, construction and maintenance of commercial and industrial structures for over four decades, and the types of applications where they are used, their formulation, and performance have evolved during that time period. Driven by the ability to meet environmental regulations, their ease of use, and improvements in performance, the utilization of waterborne acrylics has also grown over the years.
The evaluation of clear waterborne acrylic coatings as topcoats in field-applied protective coating systems will be described. Clear coatings were evaluated over both waterborne and solventborne systems. The results of the effects of waterborne systems on properties such as corrosion resistance, gloss, and accelerated weathering will be discussed.
