Abstract
Several aspects of coatings and printing inks have been reviewed with special emphasis on the recent developments of coating technology. The role of film forming materials and the progress in developing these products suitable for water-based technology have been discussed. The resins used in the coating and printing industries have been highlighted. Water-borne resins such as water-soluble and water-dispersible and their role in terms of end-use properties for desired applications have been described. The advantages and disadvantages as perceived by users of water-based coatings and printing formulations have been emphasized. It is likely that the present criteria of 80/20 (water/solvent) containing water-based systems will not last in the coming years due to strict environmental reasons, and development must be focused on formulating products with less than 5% volatile organic compounds (VOC). Several developments are made to achieve almost no VOC in the coating and printing systems to meet expected environmental regulations as well as to satisfy the customer demand for almost equal performance to solvent-based systems.
