Additional Information

What are paint & coating resins?

Resins are organic compounds that are used in the manufacture of coatings and paint products. These resins are used to produce paint and coatings for a variety of applications, including interior and exterior applications. Vinyl and acrylic monomers, the building blocks of polymers, are used to produce some paint and coatings resins. Solution, emulsion, and dispersant polymers are a few types of polymers used in paint and coatings industries. Diols and polyols are also used to make resins for coatings and paint products.

What can they be used for?

Paint and coatings resins can be used for a wide range of applications, from producing marine paints to manufacturing architectural coatings. Other applications for paint and coatings resins include automotive refinish coatings, industrial maintenance, special purpose coatings, and traffic marking paints. Depending on application and industry, resins can provide specific qualities or properties, such as a high degree of resistance to severe weather conditions, UV exposure, or water exposure.

Epoxy resin coatings are often used in industrial settings due to their ability to handle moderately corrosive environments. Acrylic paint and coatings are typically used in the architectural industry. These resins offer superior gloss and color retention, making them suitable for exterior and interior applications. Solvent-based acrylic resins usually have better chemical resistance and weather resistance compared to water-based acrylic resins. Alkyd resins are also used for architectural paint and coatings due to their high gloss. These resins have high durability as well. Urethanes are versatile resins that can be used for several types of applications.
