Solutions for lower carbon footprint
Bio-attributed mass balance: reducing carbon footprint without compromising performance
Surfactant leaching resistance + Exterior durability + Low dirt pick up
Give exterior wood coatings a more sustainable edge with Arkema’s new generation of bio-attributed technologies. At the foundation of the formulation, ENCOR® 2787 MB offers a durable, weather-resistant acrylic backbone with excellent wood penetration and flexibility—while delivering a 15% reduction in carbon footprint compared with conventional fossil-based binders.
Enhanced with RHEOTECH™ 4000 MB, a bio-attributed liquid acrylic thickener, woodstain formulations achieve optimized rheology, smooth application, and consistent film build—contributing to a remarkable 140% carbon reduction for rheology additives.
Finally, ECODIS™ P 50 MB dispersant ensures efficient pigment stabilization and color development, supporting vibrant, even wood finishes with the same 140% carbon reduction versus fossil-based alternatives.
The result: high-performance woodstains that stand up to the elements, protect the natural beauty of wood, and help formulators significantly lower their environmental impact—without compromising on quality or durability.
Deliver exceptional hiding power while cutting TiO₂ usage by 10%
Lower carbon footprint + Color strength + Opacity + Washability
Enhance opacity and color performance in interior wall coatings while achieving a 10% reduction in TiO₂ with Arkema’s optimized formulation package. ENCOR® 317 vinyl acrylic binder delivers strong color development and film quality, even at lower pigment levels.
To reinforce hiding power, CELOCOR® AF boosts opacity, enabling efficient TiO₂ savings. COAPUR™ 2501 and COAPUR™ XS71 fine-tune rheology for smooth, controlled application and uniform coverage.
Finally, COADIS™ BR 85 and ECODIS™ P30 dispersants maximize pigment efficiency and color strength, ensuring consistent performance in reduced-TiO₂ systems.
The result: high-quality interior finishes that combine excellent hiding, vibrant color, and smoother application—while lowering TiO₂ usage by 10%.
