If you are looking for a protective surface coating for wood that can withstand water, weather, and UV exposure, look no further than VeoVa™ vinyl ester. VeoVa vinyl esters ensure your wood coatings will stand the test of time, offering superior resistance to these elements. This versatile ingredient can be used to create emulsion polymers with outstanding adhesion, hardness, and flexibility.

  • Superior Water Resistance: VeoVa-based polymers provide excellent water repellency, significantly reducing water uptake and protecting wood from moisture damage.
  • UV Stability: The unique structure of VeoVa monomers resists degradation by UV light, ensuring long-lasting protection and appearance retention.

Designed with your sustainability goals in mind, our monomer building blocks support low-VOC formulations and minimize the leaching of biocides and additives into the environment*.

  • Smart technology: VeoVa/acrylic core-shell polymers can form high-quality films at low temperatures with minimal co-solvent levels. These core-shell polymers are free of added formaldehyde and have a low residual monomer content of < 500 ppm.
  • Sustainable Sourcing: Our monomers are also available as a bio-attributed version, certified under the International ISCC+ mass balance framework. This certification supports sustainable sourcing practices, giving you the confidence you are making a responsible choice for the planet.
*These statements are compared to similar (experimental) acrylic polymers without VeoVa vinyl ester.

VeoVa-based emulsion polymers are ideal for high-performance exterior wood coatings that can protect wood from the elements and maintain its appearance. Highlight the beauty of your wood products with an impeccable, long-lasting finish.

  • Aesthetic Excellence: VeoVa-based wood stains show high gloss retention and minimal color change, even after extended exposure to weathering conditions.
  • Enhanced Durability: The combination of a hard core and a soft shell in VeoVa/acrylic polymers provides a good balance between hardness and flexibility, ensuring the coating adapts to the wood's dimensional changes without cracking or peeling.
