The safe use of a sustainable, ecological  yet flammable  construction material while retaining its elegance and beauty paves the way for one perfect combination  classic design and the highest safety standards.

The new plasticizer is based on azelaic acid, which is derived from a reliable and proven process of ozonolysis of oleic acid.

Architectural low-VOC coatings can be formulated with dibenzoate glycol esters to have increased hardness, block resistance, gloss and scrub resistance.

This article presents results comparing thermal initiation of main polymerization to redox initiation at lower temperatures.

This company has taken an innovative approach to functionalizing polymer surfaces with its responsive monomers to defend against microbes.

Despite microbial control solutions being a small addition in a lengthy production process, their contribution is critical and will continue to play a central role in human development.

In this article we report on the development of a tin-free aqueous silicone gum dispersion from early tin-based compositions.

By combining an advanced polymeric additive structure with macromonomer functionality with functional groups that can covalently bond to an epoxy system, a new type of additive with superior properties could be generated.

By understanding how additive performance can be affected by formulation change, formulators can identify potential problems and work with their suppliers to find answers faster.

The low-VOC coalescents investigated in this work presented high affinity for vinyl-acrylic and acrylic latexes and ability to decrease their MFFT.
