Trends in development of bio-based coating

From bio-based resin to robust performance

Bio-based coatings are gaining momentum in industry, but performance remains decisive: mechanical durability, stability, water repellence and antimicrobial properties must be proven. 

In this online training, Sirris shares research insights and translates them into practical formulation choices. You will get a clear overview of bio-based acrylate, epoxy and polyurethane coatings, and how bio-based additives can boost functionality. We also cover the characterisation tools needed to monitor curing and thermomechanical properties in parallel.

For whom?

This webinar is intended for professionals who develop, improve or assess bio-based coatings for industrial applications, including:

• R&D and innovation managers in coatings and materials
• Product developers and process engineers
• Quality and test engineers evaluating performance and stability
• Companies active in materials engineering, surface engineering, chemicals and manufacturing supply chains
   

Key takeaways

You will leave with a practical framework to formulate and validate bio-based coatings for technological innovation in industry.

• Key trends and performance targets: durability, stability, water repellence, antimicrobial functionality
• How to select and formulate bio-based acrylate, epoxy and polyurethane systems
• How bio-based additives can deliver augmented functionality
• How parallel characterisation supports faster, more reliable formulation decisions
• Practical pointers to monitor curing and thermomechanical behaviour and interpret results

Programme

The webinar starts with an overview of trends and performance requirements for bio-based coatings, focusing on mechanical durability, antimicrobial properties, stability and water repellence. Next, we discuss selection and formulation of bio-based acrylate, epoxy and polyurethane coatings, including how bio-based additives impact functionality. We conclude with a practical view on characterisation tools to monitor curing and thermomechanical properties, followed by a live Q&A.
