International. Arkema Coatings Resins received the European Coatings 2013 award for the development of an innovative water-based binder system that protects the metal with a single layer.
Generally, effective corrosion protection requires two or more coats of paint, each with different properties.
The optimized binder system incorporates electronegative functional monomers to improve adhesion. Clear varnishes and white paint without anticorrosive pigment gave good results on a variety of metal substrates.
Grégory Delmas, Group Director of Applications at Arkema Coating Resins, France, received the award.
