There is no “best” waterborne resin in an absolute sense. The key question is whether it is suitable for the target application. Different resins have different strengths in water resistance, weatherability, hardness, flexibility, adhesion, chemical resistance, application properties, cost, ...
Waterborne resin is the core source of performance in waterborne coatings, but the final coating film performance is not determined by the resin alone. The same waterborne resin may show completely different storage stability, application performance, film-forming behavior, and dry-film ...
Among natural resins, dammar resin, mastic resin, and copal resin have long been used in transparent varnishes, artistic protective coatings, traditional decorative coatings for woodware, and oil-painting media. Their main value lies in forming transparent, glossy films with a color-enriching ...
A waterborne resin is a film-forming resin system that uses water as the primary dispersion medium or dilution medium. It can be used in architectural coatings, wood coatings, industrial coatings, anticorrosive coatings, flooring coatings, packaging coatings, inks, adhesives, and other fields.
Cashew Nut Shell Liquid, abbreviated as CNSL, is a dark, viscous liquid extracted from cashew nut shells. It is derived from a non-edible by-product generated during cashew processing. Rich in phenolic compounds, it can be used as a raw material for coating resins, adhesives, friction materials, ...
Natural lacquer generally refers to a coating material formed from lacquer sap collected from lacquer-tree species after refining and application. Traditional East Asian lacquer is mainly obtained from the lacquer tree, and its sap contains urushiol, water, plant gums, nitrogen-containing ...
Shellac is a natural resin of animal origin prepared from lac resin secreted by lac insects. The resin is collected, washed, melted, filtered, and then processed into sheets or crushed forms. Lac insects live on the branches of specific host trees, and their secretions can be processed into ...
Rosin, commonly referred to in English as rosin or colophony, is a natural resin derived from resin resources of pine and other coniferous trees, with resin acids as its main components. Based on source and production route, industrial rosin is commonly classified into three types.
In coating formulations, resins typically serve functions such as film formation, binding, adhesion, protection, and decoration. In its description of “resin,” the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) notes that the term “resin” was originally used because of ...
