In this work, mini-emulsion polymerization was used to prepare formulations containing various sizes of ZnO nanoparticles in order to increase photostabilization of exterior clear coatings for wood.
Digital transformation is poised to make its mark on the paint and coatings industry. It's good to see early adopters in our industry embracing cloud technology to accelerate their innovation and service.
Green building is rapidly starting to scale up, bringing to light emerging issues such as the nexus between sustainable building design and fire safety - a challenge addressed by Perstorp's bio-based pentaerythritol for intumescent coatings.
Despite the challenges of reformulating a coating from solvent‐based to waterborne and curing a low-molecularweight EPDM at ambient temperature, formulations have been successfully developed utilizing peroxide, oxidative and UV-curing systems.
The global decorative coatings market was USD 65 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 82 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 5%, between 2018 and 2023.
To enhance safety and environmental protection, the EPA's Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements Final Rule, which became effective federally last year, requires identification including the words "Hazardous Waste," a description of the container's hazards, and the date the accumulation started on each container.
Called Advanced Thermal Optics (ATO), the sensing means behind the system enables for highly accurate film thickness to be measured with a non-contact means on cured or uncured organic powder and powder enamel in a way that is extremely adaptable to the production environment.
Why do we continue to have temperature-based process fluctuations when we have a very tightly controlled ambient environment? It turns out that there is not just one single answer. To understand it, we must start by understanding the hierarchy of the various temperatures involved in the painting process.
