The requirements that are normally in balance in a DTM can be achieved using Inhibispheres (IS) due to their size, shape, refractive index and the sustained release of their unique corrosion inhibitors.

SLIPS Foul Protect N1x has successfully demonstrated the pathway to reducing marine fouling with a non-toxic, environmentally friendly approach combining the smooth and slippery liquid-based surface (Physical module) and highly branched amphiphilic SAPs (Chemical module).

Due to their tailored system compatibility, the new sili¬cone surfactants are suitable for use in both aqueous one-component systems as well as in aqueous two-com¬ponent polyurethane and radiation-curable systems.

Laboratory tests prove that the new generation of ketamines are unique - not only are they REACH compliant, but technically they also outperform their conventional counterparts both during and after cure, as well as offering both long pot-life and reduced hazard, making them the ideal curing agents for the paint and coatings industry.

This article describes an alkali copper aluminoborophosphosilicate glass ceramic material that acts as a sustainable delivery system for Cu+1 ions with high antimicrobial efficacy.

With RHEOBYK-7610, BYK has succeeded in developing a rheology additive which, in addition to the familiar properties, generates a specific viscosity profile.

The use of barites is a proven method for accurate control of gloss in the high- to medium-gloss range. ATH is the product of choice for gloss control when the relatively high density of barite is undesired, or in applications where improved resistance to water spotting is an issue.

Specialty chemicals are used throughout many industries, including coatings. PCI recently asked Jonathan Craig, Vice President Specialty Chemicals at Ascend Performance Materials, to discuss these performance products and the current state of the market.

These new dispersion additives provide excellent outdoor protection for all water-based polymeric binders used in exterior applications such as coatings, grouts and plasters.

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.
