Abstract

Easy to apply waterborne coatings, with an improved eco-profile over their solvent-borne
counterparts, are used in many applications such as paper and leather coatings, as well as
construction, automotive, architectural and traffic paints. In contrast to solvent-borne coatings,
waterborne coatings display several advantages, for example, lower VOC emissions.
Additionally, replacing solvent-borne with waterborne technology facilitates the syntheses of a
wide range of polymers with non-linear morphology (hard and soft composites, hollow spheres,
etc.) thereby providing distinct coatings performance platforms. High performance waterborne,
industrial coatings are designed to resist harsh conditions and must display good chemical
resistance, hardness and scratch resistance, toughness and flexibility, and block resistance. In
addition, excellent moisture and UV resistance, as well as durability are important properties for
high performance coatings. Resins and by extension coatings that possess these attributes
provide the longest possible lifespan for substrates, for example, wood and metal (Figure 1).
The literature describes several approaches for the preparation of coatings with an improved 
eco-profile and good barrier properties. Now described are the recent efforts aimed at preparing
high performance coatings with enhanced water resistance and improved anti-corrosion
properties.
