The line includes various environmentally friendly emulsions, dispersions, and natural oil blends designed to improve the weatherability of exterior surface coatings.
NatureShield® is Michelman’s line of bio-based surface modifiers that reportedly allow formulators to develop coatings with an increased amount of bio-sourced materials without jeopardizing their quality. The line includes various environmentally friendly emulsions, dispersions, and natural oil blends designed to improve the weatherability of exterior surface coatings by providing water resistance and water bead to wood and concrete.
When used as an alternative to synthetic surface modifiers in high-quality coatings, Michelman’s bio-based technology demonstrates comparable or enhanced abrasion resistance, improved scratch resistance, and superior matting. In addition, these surface modifiers comprise significant levels of sustainable materials, providing performance properties that meet or exceed the standard set by synthetic products in the marketplace.
