The Importance of Waterborne Coatings
The coating industry is evolving fast. In waterborne systems, dispersion stability and rheology control are critical to achieving all three. Poor pigment dispersion leads to instability and performance loss. Inconsistent viscosity affects film build and application quality.
Arkema’s rheology and specialty additives portfolio offers a comprehensive solution. With COADIS™ 123K for excellent dispersion performance, ECODIS™ P30 as a cost-efficient dispersant, and COAPUR® 3025 as a solvent-free polyurethane thickener, formulators can achieve sustainable performance in waterborne systems.
Sustainable Performance Built on Three Complementary Pillars
High-performing waterborne coatings depend on two critical controls: dispersion stability and rheology balance. Arkema combines complementary polymer technologies to optimize both.
Together, these technologies can be used independently or in combination to balance cost, performance, and sustainability within one optimized formulation.
From Sustainable Formulation to Competitive Advantage
When dispersion, extender efficiency, and rheology are optimized together, the result is more than technical performance. It becomes operational and commercial value. As a paint manufacturer you gain:
- More stable production with fewer viscosity corrections
- Reduced risk of settling, rework, and batch inconsistency
- Better film durability and water resistance, improving product reputation
- Lower VOC and safer formulations aligned with regulatory expectations
- Improved contractor satisfaction through smoother application and reduced spatter
By integrating COADIS™ 123K, ECODIS™ P30, and COAPUR® 3025 into one formulation strategy, you can move beyond compliance. You can build sustainable products that perform better, cost less to optimize, and strengthen brand credibility in competitive architectural and industrial markets.
