With increasing environmental regulations, the floor paint industry is moving towards eco-friendly solutions. Water-based epoxy resins offer excellent performance, corrosion resistance, and low VOC emissions, making them a popular choice. Their adaptability, safety, and ease of use present a promising future for environmentally conscious consumers and manufacturers alike.

With the introduction of environmental protection regulations and the awakening of people's awareness of environmental protection, floor paint, as a solvent-based paint with serious pollution, its VOC emissions have been restricted by domestic and foreign regulations. In order to meet the needs of a more environmentally friendly and healthy life, the road to environmental protection in the floor paint industry is imperative. And this "spring breeze" of the floor paint industry reform has also swept into the floor paint field, and the popularity of environmental protection products such as floor water paint has become the mainstream development direction of the industry.

Waterborne Epoxy Resin

With its outstanding performance advantages, water-based epoxy resin makes the prepared water-based epoxy resin coating also have excellent performance, so it is more and more important in the family of water-based products. Experts believe that water-based epoxy resin is in the environmental protection today. , the prospects are very broad.

Waterborne Epoxy Resin

The advantages of water-based epoxy paint

First, it has strong adaptability and has extremely high adhesion to many substrates. The cured coating film has excellent corrosion resistance and chemical resistance, and the coating film has small shrinkage, high hardness, good wear resistance and excellent electrical insulation performance. Wait;

Second, the environmental protection performance is good, and it also has no organic solvent or low volatile organic compound content, which will not cause air pollution, thus meeting the current environmental protection requirements;

The third is truly water-based, using water as the dispersion medium, which is odorless and non-flammable, and the safety during storage, transportation and use is also greatly improved;

Waterborne Epoxy Resin

Fourth, the operability is good. The construction and operation performance of the water-based epoxy resin coating is good. The construction tools can be washed directly with water, and it can be cured at room temperature and in a humid environment. It has a reasonable curing time and ensures a high cross-linking density. This is unmatched by the usual water-based acrylic coatings and water-based polyurethane coatings.

Reasonable selection of epoxy resin substrate, curing agent and various modifiers and additives can prepare waterborne epoxy resin coatings with different properties. Compared with solvent-based or solvent-free epoxy resin coatings, waterborne epoxy resin coatings have a wider range of application prospects due to their many performance characteristics.
