Increasingly demanding environmental regulations for industrial maintenance coatings have put pressure on manufacturers and users of both solventborne and waterborne coating systems. The lowering of volatile organic compound (VOC) levels to below 100 g/L is being considered for industrial maintenance coatings in many regions of the U.S. This article discusses the development of materborne acrylic latex polymers for use in high performance, VOC-compliant coatings applied to steel and concrete structures. Formulation and coating properties of these polymers are described, with an emphasis on comparisons of performance to traditional, higher VOC waterborne and solventborne coatings.
