In the previous chapter we discussed thermoset resins, petro‐based as well as agro‐based, as used for polymer coatings. In this chapter we deal with the basic formulations of coating compositions that aim at improved sustainability and more environmentally friendly processes. First, we discuss coating compositions in general, followed by a discussion on solventborne and high solids solventborne coatings. We continue with the options for waterborne coatings. In particular, waterborne systems can result in the use of significantly lower amounts of organic solvents. We end with a discussion on solventless compositions, such as radiation curing formulations and powder coating formulations.
