The adhesion/corrosion balance of the previous study yielded significant new insights into resin design. Polymers with good wet adhesion and good corrosion resistance could be isolated, and those properties correlated back to their monomer compositions and particle morphologies.
BURNOCK AC 2530 acrylic polyol resin for air-dry curing systems and chemistries brings the same performance properties widely desired from a stoving system to an air-dry system.
UCECRYL B 3033 is crafted to allow coatings producers to formulate next-generation 1K concrete sealers that meet or exceed national VOC standards, allowing formulators to achieve a <100 g/L product.
Copolymerization of the hydrophobic vinyl esters of branched neo-carboxylic acids with acrylic monomers significantly improves the performance of acrylic binders.
Dow recently hosted a two-day media event at their Spring House Paint Farm and Collegeville, PA, sites where we toured the exposure farm and testing station, and had exclusive access to the R&D facilities where coatings research projects are underway.
Through clever collaborations and a commitment to her personal passions, Keefe’s work has demonstrated that sound science can lead to truly novel solutions - often in the most unexpected of places.
