PCI’s “Did You Know” column has published a wealth of information about redox chemistries for use in emulsion polymerizations. This edition focuses on its use in aqueous-based polymer dispersions.
BASF’s Chattanooga facilities produce a wide range of polymer dispersions with safety, sustainability, and innovation as top priorities. With operations in Chattanooga and Sparta, BASF employs approximately 300 people in Tennessee and invests nearly $23 million in the state through annual payroll, purchases, taxes, and charitable contributions.
A new study by Transparency Market Research reports that the global market for polymer dispersions was valued at $7.6 billion in 2018 and is anticipated to expand at a compound annual growth rate of of approximately 5% during the forecast period.
Following a construction phase lasting 20 months, Wacker Chemie AG has brought a new spray dryer for the production of dispersible polymer powders on stream in Ulsan, South Korea.
Specialty Polymers Inc. has launched a new website that presents users with an improved product finding experience, a news and events page, and a video commemorating the company's 50 years of innovation and family ownership.
Covestro is one of two industrial cooperation partners involved in a new research project at the Faculty of Applied Natural Sciences in the Technical University of Cologne that is investigating how the properties of aqueous polymer dispersions can be further improved.
Effective March 26, 2018, or as existing contracts allow, BASF will increase its prices in EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa) for polymer dispersions.
Designed for metal coating formulators, ProHere L-range solutions are waterborne polymer dispersions and emulsions specifically developed for use in metal coatings.
The metal packaging industry demands a high-performing coating with a food safety profile desirable to consumers, which not only avoids BPA, but also other materials of concern such as epoxy, styrene or phenolic crosslinkers.
