Bioderived polymers, such as polymers based on vegetable oil, have versatility in structure and properties. In addition, their performance can be modified depending on requirements. This type of biopolymer is, therefore, more useful as a binder for surface coatings and paints. Polyesters are the most popular in waterborne binders for paints and coatings. | Bioderived polymers, such as polymers based on vegetable oil, have versatility in structure and properties. In addition, their performance can be modified depending on requirements. This type of biopolymer is, therefore, more useful as a binder for surface coatings and paints. Polyesters are the most popular in waterborne binders for paints and coatings, and are commercially applied as biobased films for food packaging. PLA is of particular interest in food packaging, due to its excellent transparency and relatively good water resistance. | ||
