NEO Chemical Seminar 2007 Toine Dinnissen / March 28th 2007 Page * VOC-free Waterborne Epoxy Emulsions and Dispersions for Ambient Cure Coatings Waterborne Epoxy dispersions? Stricter legislation is limiting the use of solvents-Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in paints e.g. European directive 1999/13/EC and amendment 2004/42/EC first stage implemented in 2007 second stage implemented in 2010 U.S.: 3 major organizations driving the reduction of VOC Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, through Clean Air Act) South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Ozone Transportation Commission (OTC) “Green Image” – environmental friendly coatings Low odor, low flammability Easy cleaning of equipment with water Making use of the excellent properties of Epoxy resins (e.g. corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, adhesion,…) with minimal amounts of solvent to fulfill legal and environmental requirements Drivers and alternative approaches Typical solvent borne formulations for Marine and Protective coatings are based on epoxy resin grades with an Epoxy Equivalent Weight of ~500 gr/eq containing solvents like Xylene Typical solvent content of these solid epoxy resin solutions is 25% Major contributor to the overall VOC content of a solvent borne formulation Several approaches exist to minimize or eliminate the VOC content High solids coatings Powder coatings Radiation cured coatings Waterborne coatings Dow’s Technology Approach Dow technology Non ionic surfactant was especially developed for WB epoxy resins Surfactant is epoxy functional so that it will be part of the cured matrix Unique dispersion process which allows mono modular and submicron particle size distributions Submicron particle size distributions allow a good storage stability and film formation Formulator can use solvent of choice No additional solvent, so low VOC formulations can be prepared Grades Emulsion of a Liquid Epoxy Resin – commercial grade Dispersion of an Epoxy Novolac Resin – commer
