ATO-based antistatic coatings outperform PEDOT and fluorinated additives, offering PFAS-free protection and superior stability, especially in PSAs for LCD polarizers to prevent static discharge.
Advancements in low-temperature-cure powder coatings explore challenges in formulation, manufacturing limitations, and innovative solutions for improved efficiency and performance.
Flat roofs face aging and weathering challenges from solar radiation, moisture and pollutants. This study explores polymer dispersions' impact on elastomeric roof coatings' durability, flexibility and chalking resistance.
Self-leveling coatings offer high-build, durable solutions for concrete floors, addressing issues like uneven surfaces, water pooling and abrasion resistance.
Researchers have developed a formula to predict when cracks will form in drying clay, a breakthrough that could enhance the durability of paint and coatings.
A cutting-edge anticorrosion additive endured 6,000 hours of real-world coastal testing—revealing surprising results, including the standout performance of waterborne acrylic coatings in marine environments.
This article discusses the basic characteristics of phyllosilicate thickeners, and provides an introduction to understanding their performance in formulations in order to use them to build the rheological properties of latex paints.
Elementis has introduced three new products to its RHEOLATE® IF (Isothiazoline Free) series. The series was developed primarily to remove rheological thickeners
Elastomeric roof coatings must show excellent adhesion to the substrate since they can be applied to several types of roofs such as metal, concrete, bitumen, and others. Fibrillated cellulose is a renewable material that delivers multiple functionalities such as rheology to stability and surface properties, as well as supporting a more sustainable lifecycle.
New powder NiSAT grades realize up to 80% CO2 reduction on transportation, and require up to six times less storage space. These products also realize higher effectivity, improved rheology, and extra dry film properties.
