Coatings to Improve Mechanical Performance

Improving Coatings with Mechanical Performance Optimization

The coatings industry continually seeks to make more durable products for customers. The demand for enhanced properties like strength and structural integrity has made mechanical performance a top priority when considering coatings materials. 

Syensqo's coatings solutions address the industry’s biggest challenges when it comes to optimizing mechanical performance. Our versatile brands offer the coatings industry enhanced friction and wear technologies and substantial long-term performance enhancements. From effective anionic surfactants to abrasion-resistant polymers and high melting-point fluoropolymers, Syensqo delivers technological improvements for coatings that enable continual high performance in the harshest of conditions. 

Polymer-Based Solutions for Mechanical Performance

For architectural and industrial paints, Syensqo's specialty polymers deliver outstanding mechanical performance enhancements. For instance, Halar® ECTFE  provides outstanding wear and friction resistance for various applications and provides  the hardest coating surface among partially fluorinated polymers. Additionally, KetaSpire® PEEK’s properties are the ideal solution to avoid friction and wear damage.

Usages for Mechanical Performance in Coatings

Consumer demands for durable solutions in the coatings industry have shifted the market’s attention to producing wear-resistant materials. Syensqo's broad portfolio addresses various mechanical performance challenges to mitigate wear-related part failure. Additionally, our solutions can be applied to multiple surfaces and systems without failure, for use in direct-to-metal applications and tank linings for industrial and architectural paints and coatings.

Friction & Wear Solutions

Friction and wear protection is a vital aspect of mechanical performance. Syensqo's COF-reducing polymers, abrasion-resistant polymers and additives are ideal solutions for coatings applications as these solutions can improve friction- and wear-resistance properties. 

High-Temperature Mechanical Strength Solutions

Coatings exposed to high temperatures must withstand demanding environments. Syensqo's specialty polymers are formulated to expand the range of use for coatings exposed to high-temperature environments. From high-melting-point fluoropolymers to high-strength polymers, Syensqo's portfolio adapts to any climate or temperature.
