Biosurfactants Restore Coatings Performance Formulation Constraints
Phase-Outs Kept Coming.
The Performance Bar Didn't Move.
The LOCUS ADVANTAGE
Improve wetting across substrates for better surface coverage
Enhance dispersion stability for more consistent formulations
Optimize film formation for uniform, defect-free coatings
Coatings formulators are navigating VOC limits, ingredient phase-outs, and tighter regulatory constraints. Locus biosurfactants for coatings improve wetting, dispersion, and film formation—maintaining coating performance under real-world formulation conditions.
The Challenge
Performance expectations didn’t drop. The toolkit did.
As traditional surfactants are removed or restricted, formulators must maintain performance with fewer viable ingredients. Surface variability, pigment instability, and application conditions expose the limits of conventional systems—leading to inconsistent wetting, poor dispersion, and film defects.
The trifecta driving coatings performance
Beyond the formulation bench
Performance must align with regulatory, supply, and long-term formulation requirements.
