Date: Now On Demand Through August 24, 2016
Learn how encapsulation technology can be tailored to your needs and benefit your products. Via this technology, Battelle experts are finding ways to advance a wide range of products, including coatings.
Encapsulation allows the development of shelf-stable formulations using ingredients that are normally incompatible, keeping one ingredient safely enclosed in a polymer capsule that can be designed to respond to a variety of different release triggers (like pH, temperature, pressure or dilution).
As a specific example, the Battelle Smart Corrosion Detector® bead is a smart coating that prevents corrosion for pipeline integrity by detecting and mitigating corrosion as soon as it starts, enabling the protection of valuable infrastructure and equipment. Unlike other technologies, this bead includes both corrosion detection and self-healing chemicals in a single bead for maximum protection. The beads are mixed into paints and coatings.
Combine formerly incompatible ingredients into one shelf-stable product that activates with a trigger of your choice.
Learn about encapsulation for:
• Self-healing coatings
• Single component resin/curing agent systems
• Blended formulations
