Abstract
This article is devoted to the analysis of the state, problems and prospective directions of application of water-dispersion paint and varnish materials. Providing reliable and durable protection of coating remains the main task of water-dispersion paint and varnish materials technology. In this connection, modern technical solutions to improve the protective characteristics of paint and varnish compositions based on aqueous film-forming agents and, accordingly, the search for effective components in the direction of modification of paints and coatings acting as universal additives, in particular, dispersants and anticorrosive agents are considered.
