Advancing Sustainable and High-Performance Alkyd, Latex, and Epoxy Coatings: A Review
Abstract
Pelapis pelindung konvensional banyak menggunakan sistem berbasis pelarut yang melepaskan Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) dalam jumlah tinggi, menimbulkan dampak negatif terhadap lingkungan dan kesehatan. Tren global menuju keberlanjutan mendorong industri pelapis untuk mengembangkan alternatif berbasis air dan bio-based tanpa mengurangi performa. Tinjauan ini membahas inovasi terkini pada tiga sistem resin utama alkid, lateks, dan epoksi berbasis air dengan fokus pada modifikasi kimia, strategi formulasi, dan peningkatan kinerja. Melalui analisis literatur sistematis, studi ini menggambarkan evolusi kimia pelapis dari formulasi berbasis pelarut menuju material berperforma tinggi dan ramah lingkungan. Perkembangan terbaru meliputi alkid high-solid dan berbasis air dengan emisi VOC rendah, polimer lateks tanpa VOC yang dilengkapi fungsi cerdas seperti self-cleaning dan antimikroba, serta epoksi berbasis air yang menawarkan kekuatan mekanik dan ketahanan kimia setara sistem berbasis pelarut. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa keberlanjutan dan performa kini menjadi pendorong inovasi yang saling mendukung, menempatkan pelapis modern sebagai bagian penting dalam upaya global menuju ekonomi sirkular dan manufaktur karbon-netral.References
