Hexion to Showcase Latest Application Developments with VersaticT Derivatives Technologies at the American Coatings Show

Hexion, a global leader in waterborne and lower VOC coating solutions, will
highlight the latest application development advances with its VeoVaT Vinyl
Esters and CarduraT Glycidyl Ester technologies at the American Coatings
Show, April 5-7, at the Indiana Convention Center. Manufacturers looking to
improve the performance and sustainability of their industrial or
architectural coatings will be able to explore the most recent developments
in VeoVa Silane technology and Cardura monomer solutions, as well as take a
tour of Hexion’s recently launched VeoVa house (veovahouse.hexion.com).

VeoVa Silane technology, based on Hexion’s VeoVa vinyl ester monomers,
enables the production of high-performance, versatile, and isocyanate-free
resins that are very cost-competitive compared to acrylic- and
epoxy-polysiloxane technologies. Such resins can be used by coating
manufacturers to create more environmentally friendly protective, marine or
wood coatings which deliver similar performance to two-component (2K)
polyurethane coatings.

With Hexion’s Cardura glycidyl ester, it is easier to produce low-viscosity
acrylic polyols (APOs) for lower-VOC solvent and waterborne binders. These
APOs, in turn, enable regulatory compliance while delivering excellent
durability and aesthetics in automotive and industrial coatings.

In addition to having technical experts available to discuss VeoVa and
Cardura technologies and processes, Hexion will also feature its “VeoVa
House” in Booth 2348. VeoVa House (veovahouse.hexion.com) is a new,
easy-to-navigate, digital showroom of VeoVa vinyl ester applications in
residential and commercial construction, including a variety of customer
resources.
