With the vigorous development of coating technology, green and environmentally friendly coating products have become the focus of attention in the market. As an advanced material supplier, Huntsman has made significant achievements in the field of green waterborne coatings.
The new generation of waterborne epoxy system exhibited by Huntsman is suitable for two-component zinc-rich primers, and the VOC content is greatly reduced while retaining the conventional formula design concept. The system is easy to process, exhibits excellent corrosion resistance and stable performance, and is more safe and environmentally friendly.
Huntsman has developed ARALDITE® waterborne epoxy solutions-ARALDITE® waterborne epoxy emulsions and ARADUR® waterborne epoxy curing agents in response to the current high demand for coating application performance in the field of transportation and construction machinery. ARALDITE® water-based epoxy resin emulsions can be used for metal protection, and coatings formulated based on this emulsion have advantages at room temperature or when cured at bake. The low-viscosity emulsion is easy to process, and the formulated coatings provide fast surface drying while retaining excellent adhesion, flexibility and corrosion resistance. ARADUR® Waterborne Epoxy Curing Agent is VOC-free and is used to formulate environmentally friendly waterborne epoxy coatings with excellent corrosion resistance. Coatings formulated based on different products have extremely fast drying and curing speeds and excellent flexibility, and the service life can be up to 6 hours.
