Interior Wall Coatings 

Interior wall coatings present unique challenges, and formulators are continually looking to improve features such as air quality, scrub resistance, tint strength, stain resistance and much more. Arkema produces a wide range of waterborne products for these applications, designed to provide the ideal balance of performance, formulation latitude and cost efficiency. We offer multiple chemistries to help meet your needs, including all acrylics, vinyl acrylics, styrene-acrylics, waterborne alkyds and opacifiers. Whether you are looking to improve performance, reduce reliance on TiO2, incorporate biobased content or meet other formulation needs in interior wall coatings, we can help.
