PAINT PERFORMANCE WITH ECO-EFFICIENCY
The present work focuses on the evaluation of a newly developed, bio-based, zero-VOC coalescent for improving waterbased emulsion film formation and paint performance. The performance of the coalescent was evaluated in terms of film formation quality and impact on final paint properties, compared to a commercially available petrochemical coalescent. Results demonstrated that it is possible to achieve better properties in terms of paint film quality with an optimised environmental profile using the newly developed bio-based coalescent.

EVALUATION OF NON-STICK FLUORINATED COATINGS
Fully fluorinated coatings, particularly those using polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE), are favoured in cookware applications for their release properties. Although the low abrasion resistance of these coatings improves when using hardening additives, hardeners negatively impact release. An experimental design was performed to investigate the impact of two different hardening additives and deliver the most desirable results.
