Paint and Coatings Additives

RSS

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.

A new water-based additive can provide low-gloss matte paint with the needed performance properties without dust mitigation or worker PPE.

These diamide rheology modifiers allow proper activation over a wide range of application temperatures to allow formulators robust and predictable processing under real-life conditions.

This is the fourth article in our series on additives, and covers dispersants and surfactants used to stabilize pigments in coatings.

Case studies show that the selection of an appropriate coalescent for applications in latex paints must be supported by appropriate, extensive laboratory tests.

These epoxy curing agents can achieve zero-VOC floor coatings, excellent adhesion to poorly prepared concrete, good water resistance and fast return-to-service.
