Perstorp has launched its Neptem™ range for alkyds, a portfolio of emulsifier solutions enabling the next generation of high-performance, low-VOC waterborne alkyds.
According to the company, key features of Neptem™ include the delivery of high-performance emulsification, ensuring waterborne alkyds match or exceed the quality of traditional solvent-based systems. Perstorp says that its Neptem™ emulsifiers expand the potential of waterborne alkyd resins, accommodating a broader range of alkyds with different oil lengths than ever before, making it possible to formulate beyond the traditional applications.
“Our new range of Neptem™ products redefines what’s possible for waterborne alkyds,” said Helene Dérand, vice president of Innovation. “It is well known that waterborne alkyds have a significantly lower climate footprint than solvent based. By enabling a smooth transition away from solvent-based resins, we’re helping our customers future-proof their business and lead the industry toward a more sustainable future.”
