Hollow Glass Microspheres Offer Previously Unattainable Properties

The objective of this study is to show the performance of alumina nanoparticles with respect to scratch and abrasion resistance.

Forklift and Narrower Aisles Add Up to Increased Facility Utilization for Coatings Manufacturer

Waterborne polyurethane dispersions (PUDs) are a maturing technology, with several suppliers offering a diversity of commercial products for a wide spectrum of applications

Generally, the goal for environmental compliance is reduction of VOCs, either through the use of higher-solids systems, compliant solvents or water.

In this paper we detail our efforts to quantitatively characterize TiO2 pigment dispersion in paint films.

Organic-inorganic hybrid coatings have recently shown new and promising properties.

Hard work can quickly go to waste if formulators neglect to add the key ingredient that secures a lasting shelf life - biocides.

The critical challenge faced by waterborne coating formulators in this application is finding a balance between these properties and maintaining adhesion to various types of plastic.

The NCCA, along with the help of PPG Industries, Inc., and the North American Zinc-Aluminum Coaters Association (NamZAC), worked together to compare the corrosion resistance of pre-painted metal louvers on air conditioning units to those coated with three types of post-paint.
