CCP and P&G, in a collaborative effort, have developed an innovative technology based on sucrose ester chemistry for low VOC coatings applications. This pioneering work has led to a family of alkyd products based on renewable raw materials, both in solvent and in water, that behave similar to conventional alkyd chemistry at significantly lower VOC’s without compromising performance. Dennis Ryer (CCP) and Bob Enouen (P&G), in a joint presentation, will delve into the history behind this unique chemistry, explain the basis for this unique relationship and discuss the reasons why the collaborative effort has been successful. The resulting high performance alkyd technology based on highly functional sucrose esters was the EPA’s Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge award winner for 2009.
