Graphite is familiar to most people as the "active ingredient" in lead pencils. However, its use in writing instruments is far outweighed by a myriad of other industrial applications.
Due to its specific curing profile and exceptional film properties, the polyurea spray coating technique has been introduced into many areas, including corrosion protection, containment, membranes, linings and caulks.
Hydrophobic components in the formulation, as well as the use of hydrophobic binders, will give the best combination for improving the water resistance of waterborne coatings.
This report shows that the copolymerization of small quantities of functional monomers in a normal core/shell formulation can improve certain properties of binders and coatings.
In the field of radiation curing, photoinitiated crosslinking of epoxides is a relatively new activity, which is currently applied in photocurable coatings, paints, adhesives and chemically modified photoresists.
