Coatings Durability

Enhancing the Durability of Coatings

Coatings are often exposed to demanding environments, yet they are expected to maintain their performance and appearance properties. Balancing performance, sustainability and cost is a challenge across the industry, and it requires innovative solutions to ensure that requirements are consistently met. 

With decades of experience in coatings, Syensqo offers a diverse portfolio of specialty polymers, monomers, emulsifiers and other additives to support formulators in achieving resistance to corrosion, heat, chemical and weather conditions. Additionally, our solutions provide superior barrier properties for metal adhesion and moisture control to optimize the durability of coatings, and we provide light stabilizers that enable coatings to withstand exposure to UV light.

Syensqo's Solutions for Improved Durability

Our innovative solutions exhibit excellent performance in the most challenging environmental conditions and on a variety of surfaces. For example, Syensqo's Sipomer® PAM series, a monomer used in waterborne formulations, provides enhanced adhesion and corrosion resistance for various metal applications. We also offer Rhodafac®, a phosphate ester emulsifier that delivers corrosion protection and water resistance on metal surfaces. Our portfolio also includes CYASORB CYNERGY SOLUTIONS®, which provide exceptional UV protection for solvent-borne and waterborne coatings systems.

High-Performance Usages for Demanding Environments 

Superior resistance properties are essential to the long-term durability of coatings. Syensqo's broad portfolio includes solutions that deliver a wide range of functional benefits: anti-corrosion protection, weather resistance, high-temperature resistance, chemical resistance, UV protection and more.

High-Temperature-Resistant Coatings

Depending on processing and end-use conditions, industrial environments require coatings capable of withstanding temperatures ranging from 100°C to more than 300°C. Syensqo's solutions are proven to enhance the performance of coatings in high-temperature environments. 

Chemical-Resistant Coatings

Formulators require chemical-resistant coatings that demonstrate continued performance in very high and very low pH environments and can withstand exposure to a diverse range of chemicals. Our brands provide chemical resistance on various surfaces, such as wood or metal. They can be applied in end-use applications such as anti-fouling paints, coil coatings, can coatings, wood coatings and road marking paints. 

Weather-Resistant Coatings

When it comes to weather resistance, Syensqo's portfolio features solutions for every scenario. Our waterborne polymers offer excellent barrier protection against oxygen, water and moisture damage. Additionally, our resins withstand exposure to weathering and UV rays. 

UV Protection Coatings

Syensqo's solutions offer superior UV stability and protection for coatings. Our UV stabilizers are designed for various applications, including OEM clear coats and topcoats, industrial coatings, architectural exterior coatings, marine coatings, wood coatings, protective coatings, and more.
