Conference Program Focused on Decarbonize The Built Environment

Arkema researchers presented technical papers dedicated to sustainability at this year’s conference, titled “The Latest Innovations to Reduce TiO2 Consumption with ENCOR® 317 and CELOCOR® AF”. Vinyl acrylic binders provide reliable performance like good touch-up properties and cross-sheen performance at lower formulation cost points, yet there is a need for more sustainable offerings with improved TiO2 efficiency since TiO2 is CO2 intensive. The company resented the characteristics and key benefits of its new vinyl acrylic binder and how it will support formulation development to optimize TiO2 usage.
