Solution Overview

Problem

Current protective coatings for building materials and automobiles face challenges with inferior water resistance and adhesion, particularly in high humidity conditions, and lack effective rust preventive properties without using environmentally harmful pigments.

Innovation Solution

A protective coating composition is developed, incorporating a mixture of acetylene glycol surfactants and polyoxy(ethylene-propylene) block polymers with specific molecular weight ranges, blended with synthetic resins and fillers, to enhance adhesion and water resistance for building materials and provide excellent rust preventive performance for automobiles.
