Product Description
Pigment Binder is a key component in paint, coating, and ink formulations that serves to bind pigment particles together and adhere them to the substrate. It provides mechanical strength, durability, and resistance to environmental factors such as moisture, UV radiation, and chemicals. Pigment binders influence the finish, gloss, flexibility, and adhesion properties of the final product, making them essential for high-performance coatings in various industries.
