THE DEMAND FOR WATERBORNE COATINGS FOR PLASTICS IS BEING DRIVEN BY THE NEED TO IMPROVE THE AUTOMOTIVE FINISHES AND TO REDUCE VOC. WATERBORNE BASECOATS ARE SMOOTHER OVERALL AND ALLOW BETTER ALUMINUM ORIENTATION IN METALLIC COLORS WHICH ALLOWS ASSEMBLY PLANTS TO PRODUCE CARS WITH HIGHER GLOSS AND DOI.
