CROSSLINKING

Crosslinking can improve the properties of most polymers, reducing solvent attack, increasing tensile strength and improving resistance properties. Some reactions might require heat or another energy input, some reaction go at low temperature.
Most high performance industrial coatings require crosslinking to achieve the combination of hardness, flexibility and chemical resistance required for excellent durability. For low VOC high solids or solvent based crosslinking is essential to MW and properties. The processes involved during crosslinking are discussed in the paper on Polymer Fundamentals and in the paper on High Solids Coatings. Some of the latest developments in catalysis is given in the paper on New Catalyst Developments.
