Abstract:
Increasing concerns about the sustainability of solventborne coatings, combined with a growing awareness of all factors contributing to the carbon footprint related to the coating of furniture, is causing a demand for one-component coating systems curing at low temperature conditions.
One of the industry standards commonly used in furniture coatings are DIN 68861 and the IKEA IOS MATT 0066. For the latter one especially resistance against coffee and 48% ethanol are hard to reach when a one-component waterborne acrylic is used.
In this presentation we will demonstrate how we arrived at a coating composition was developed using a combination of crosslinking chemistries and particle morphology that allowed us to formulate pigmented matt coatings that comply with the IKEA R2 standard.
Furthermore these binders can be made with raw materials that result in concentrations of bio-based carbon above 30% without detracting for the final performance properties.
