The development of new aliphatic OH-functionalized polyesters enabled the reduction of the curing temperatures of polyallophanate powder coatings. Furthermore, very flexible coating films were obtained.
This paper will summarize the performance of a new zero-VOC, water-soluble, amine curing agent in waterborne epoxy formulations with liquid epoxy resin at less than 50g/L VOC.
There is an increasing market interest in providing dry film antibacterial protection for niche interior market areas such as daycare centers, hospitals, food processing locations, elder care facilities, etc. It is into this market that Troy is introducing a product designed for dry film bacterial protection of coatings.
In this article, two examples are presented that illustrate the development and manufacture of industrial biocides for coatings that reduce negative impact on human health and the environment.
It is the customers’ expectations in the end product that set the standards for the coating producers. But to produce high-end products, high-value pigments are needed, and they come at a price.
DuPont Chemical Solutions Enterprise announced new fluorotelomer products for repellents and surfactants that deliver maximum performance with a minimal environmental footprint.
Since the mid-1990s, composite materials have made substantial inroads across the building products industry in the manufacture of windows, doors, trim and siding. The unprecedented strength and resilience of these materials, and their low maintenance, has made them too good to ignore.
The urbanization and industrialization of China has brought not only economic growth and prosperity but also the problems of any modern nation, including pollution from untreated household and industrial waste.
Sculpting a surface composed of tightly packed nanostructures that resemble tiny nails, University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers and their colleagues from Bell Laboratories have created a material that can repel almost any liquid.
