Description

Bio-based and water-based coatings are now central to sustainability driven innovation in the coatings industry. Regulatory pressure, VOC reduction targets, and customer expectations are accelerating the shift away from conventional solvent-based systems. However, replacing fossil-based raw materials with renewable inputs and waterborne architectures introduces formulation challenges that cannot be addressed using traditional formulation logic. This advanced online training is designed for experienced coating formulators and R&D professionals who are working with or transitioning toward bio-based and water-based coating systems. The focus moves beyond definitions and sustainability claims to address how formulation decisions at the polymer, dispersion, and additive level directly influence stability, film formation, and long-term performance. Participants will gain practical insight into bio-based binders, renewable monomers, dispersion stability, rheology control, pigment interactions, and defect prevention in water-based coatings. Strong emphasis is placed on understanding structure–property relationships, compatibility risks, and performance trade-offs that arise when sustainability targets are combined with demanding application requirements such as adhesion, gloss, durability, and shelf stability. This training equips advanced formulators with clear formulation strategies, troubleshooting frameworks, and decision-making tools required to design robust bio-based and water-based coatings that meet environmental objectives without compromising performance, scalability, or formulation reliability..

Why you should not miss the training?

Attending this session will strengthen your formulation decision-making and directly improve the reliability and competitiveness of your coating systems;

1. Design Bio-Based Coatings Without Guesswork: Make informed formulation choices when working with renewable binders and water-based systems.
