An optimal rheology package should provide the at-rest viscosity necessary to keep pigments from settling, resulting in a more homogeneous coating with good appearance.
Effect pigments are platelets with diameters mostly in between 5 and 50 microns. They reflect incident light and cause angle-dependant lightness effects.
The present paper illustrates the study of the role of HMMM on coating properties of these new urethane oils synthesized using chemoenzymatically modified castor oil.
The International Coatings Expo, a coatings industry tradition since 1932, encompasses the spectrum of formulation, manufacturing, testing and application for the coatings and related industries.
Implementing new software has proven over the years to be a very challenging task for many companies. This is a story about two companies that recently went through this process and got it right.
