Substituting Functionalize Glass into Paints and Coatings
FY 2024-25 · 2024-10-15
Summary
Develop new means to incorporate alternate materials including recycled materials in water-based paints and coatings. Some recycled materials have desirable properties compared to other natural solids used in latex paint formulations. The one limitation can be surface charge leading to paint viscosity issues. This project seeks to solve this limitation, leading to a greener paint formulation for architectural paints and coatings.

Description
Develop new means to incorporate alternate materials including recycled materials in water-based paints and coatings.

This project seeks to solve this limitation, leading to a greener paint formulation for architectural paints and coatings.
Description (French)
Développer de nouveaux moyens d’incorporer des matériaux alternatifs, y compris des matériaux recyclés, dans les peintures et les revêtements à base d’eau. Certains matériaux recyclés ont des propriétés intéressantes par rapport à d’autres solides naturels utilisés dans les formulations de peinture au latex. La seule limite peut être la charge de surface qui pose des problèmes de viscosité de la peinture. Ce projet vise à résoudre ce problème, dans la perspective d’une formulation plus écologique pour les peintures et les revêtements architecturaux.
