Sustainable binders
SharkDispersions™ are a range of high performance, sustainable binders with a proven track record in architectural coatings (both interior wall paints and façade coatings). The dispersions can also be used in the formulation of various other types of coatings. We can deliver binders that meet today’s environmental standards and beyond.
Optimize your coatings
When used in coating formulations, our dispersions can boost toughness, color fastness, flexibility, and elongation by forming a soft yet strong film.
Wide applications range
SharkDispersions™ can be used as standalone binders in your (indoor) paint formulations; but can also be used as co-binder replacing only a certain part of your existing binder. In most cases, you can eliminate part (or even all) of the film forming agents (coalescing agents or solvents) from the formulation when SharkDispersions™ are used, which allows for very low VOC and SVOC content. We provide starting point formulations to get you started with your new sustainable paint formulation.
SharkDispersions™ can also be used for primers on gypsum board, fabrics, concrete and both interior and exterior masonry. They can be used to create washable, greaseproof coatings for products like packaging, wallpaper, and window blinds to increase durability.
SharkDispersions™ can be mixed with a variety of emulsions and water dispersible resins due to excellent compatibility. Examples are:
- Pure Acrylic emulsions
- Styrene-Acrylic emulsions
- VA-Acrylic emulsions
- VA-Ethylene emulsions
- VA (homo-polymer) emulsions
- Alkyd emulsions
- Grafted Alkyd emulsions
- PU dispersions
- Water Borne Epoxies
