At the European Coatings Show, this company debuted a new epoxy resin dispersion that can reportedly close the cost vs. performance gap between waterborne and solvent-borne technologies. EPI-REZ™ resin 7520-WD-52 has reportedly been shown in product testing to deliver corrosion resistance and substrate adhesion comparable to solventborne epoxy coatings used in transportation and industrial applications.
“This next-generation product provides a new value-engineered option for our industrial epoxy coatings customers who are looking for a more environmentally preferred, high-performance, waterborne resin platform,” said Callum Scott, EMEA regional segment leader. “For current waterborne epoxy resin users, EPI-REZ resin 7520-WD-52 reduces the need to blend epoxy dispersions to achieve the desired balance of price and performance.”
