A team of coatings industry experts worked together for as many as 10 years on the testing and adoption of this standard. The methodology in this new cycle applies not only to automotive coating systems with steel and plastic substrates, but can also apply to aircraft coatings as well as coatings for other industries.
VeoVa monomer enhances the performance of vinyl acetate- and acrylic-based latices, significantly upgrading key properties such as water and alkali resistance in both polymer systems.
Samples and feed rates needed of each color pigment were sent to the bulk bag discharging system manufacturer for analysis. They took it from there and designed the system to meet these criteria.
The unsurpassed brilliance, pronounced flop effect, gloss and opacity of vacuum metalized aluminum pigments allows coatings formulators to produce dynamic chrome effects.
Independent corrosion tests have shown this is a successful conductive polymer-based anti-corrosion coating technology and the first non-chromate coating that has out-performed hexavalent chromate coatings.
New products are being developed to meet the challenge of delivering low- and zero-VOC offerings, including specialty resins, coalescents/plasticizers, water-based and energy curable colorants, foam control and silicone products.
