What is a Water-based crosslinking agents?

Water-based crosslinking agents are chemical substances used to promote the crosslinking reaction between polymers in the production of water-based paints, adhesives, films, and coatings. Unlike traditional solvent-based crosslinkers, water-based ones are more environmentally friendly, reducing the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and making them suitable for products that comply with environmental regulations.

These agents form chemical crosslinks between polymer molecules, enhancing properties such as durability, water resistance, heat resistance, and mechanical strength. For example, adding a water-based crosslinking agent to a paint improves adhesion, scratch resistance, and long-term durability. They are compatible with various polymers, including polyurethane, epoxy resins, and acrylics, helping create high-performance products.
