The objective of our work was to develop a one-pack, practically solvent-free cationic primer for wood that was fast drying and had good barrier properties on tannin-rich woods.
A new interior wall paint has been introduced recently that not only has the properties we are used to (i.e., surface protection and a nice colour), but also has very specific properties in the thermal infrared as well.
Today, Hollow Sphere synthetic Pigments (HSPs) have become standard, common, value-added ingredients in both the paper and architectural coatings markets, with worldwide acceptance.
This article will look at the issues associated with fluid particle analysis, discuss some of the historical methods used and introduce a new technology, the continuous-imaging fluid particle analyzer, which offers an automated method for particle analysis that can be used over a broad range of material types/sizes, both in the laboratory and in the field.
This article is meant to inform chemists and formulators about some specific issues and phenomena pertinent to formulating and optimizing IR-reflective coatings.
