High Solid Binders

High solid technology remains one of the most important answers to stricter environmental legislation on organic solvent emissions in paint manufacture and application-while also benefiting from a growing focus on renewable raw materials. Formulators and users are provided with an overview that covers: definitions and principles, system types, application windows, solubility, rheology, crosslinking, property profiles and testing, as well as new insights into silanes, polyurea and ketimines. The Mission: This book highlights the continued relevance of high solid binders in meeting regulatory, environmental, and performance challenges in coatings development. Building on the first edition, it now includes updated content on modern chemistries such as silanes, polyurea, ketimines, as well as new processes for low-molecular-weight acrylics. High solid resins remain a robust and flexible technology - offering low VOC emissions, broad formulation latitude, and increasing compatibility with renewable raw materials. The Audience: A practical reference for advanced formulators, binder chemists, and lab professionals in the coatings industry. Whether you are developing new systems or optimizing existing ones, this book provides concise, hands-on knowledge of high solid technologies, from raw materials to application. The Value: A compact yet comprehensive guide to high solid systems - covering binder types, formulation strategies, and process innovations. This updated edition bridges science and application, offering clear explanations and practical insights for daily lab work and long-term development.
