Ceramic microspheres and glass bubbles may offer formulators cost-effective options for formulation of high solids coatings, including 2K epoxy systems.
The unique hybrid chemistry of oxidizable phenolic-based urethanes combines the drying property of fast-drying oeloresinous vehicles, the chemical resistance of phenolics and the toughness of urethanes.
The architectural design of a new amine epoxy hardener by molecular engineering has been shown to meet increasingly stringent market demands on legislation compliance, operator and environmental impact, and high productivity while showing excellent cost-performance balance of self-leveling epoxy systems.
New products are being developed to meet the challenge of delivering low- and zero-VOC offerings, including specialty resins, coalescents/plasticizers, water-based and energy curable colorants, foam control and silicone products.
It has been demonstrated that a judicious choice of two HM-NSPs – one being weakly associative and the other being strongly associative – can provide the target rheology for allacrylic and styrene-acrylic-based waterborne coatings.
