Over my 33 year career (so far) in organomodified silicones, customers have occasionally asked me for green, natural or sustainable products. The early requests were infrequent, usually for very specific circumstances, and somewhat vague with the askers often uncertain what their choice of terminology meant.
A main theme at the ACS was sustainability and the circular economy. This article provides a snapshot of just some of the technology that PCI learned about.
Minimizing the colonization of bacteria, mold and mildew in vehicles not only prevents stains and odors, but it also keeps vehicles cleaner, helping to provide peace of mind to the occupants.
This new technology allows the chemist the freedom to better tailor the formulation to the needs of the final application while optimizing the time, cost and performance achieved with various production methods of irradiation curing.
This article demonstrates how to maximize the performance of waterborne acrylic metal coatings using amino alcohols as highly efficient dispersants for pigments.
Polyester-based adhesion promoters (PEAPs) are a series of modified UP resins that can partially replace the main binders in coatings formulations to improve their adhesion to difficult substrates.
This study examines the effect that white fused alumina, nepheline syenite and silicon carbide have on the abrasion resistance of a powder coating system.
This study aims to quantify the impact of enzymatically produced alpha-1,3 polyglucose of different morphologies on the performance of water-based PUDs.
A significant development in the coatings industry is not the latest resin, solvent or additive, it's the way these ingredients can now be bought and sold.
