The new rheological additive (RA) produces strong initial anti-sag results, even under these very low-energy mixing conditions with no added heat. The stability following accelerated aging is also greatly improved relative to the commercial RAs. The new RA activates quickly and does not require a lengthy heat up period during paint or adhesive manufacturing.
This new generation of liquid organic corrosion inhibitors can be used to enhance the performance of nontoxic anticorrosive pigments in direct-to-metal coatings.
Many factors are affected by the presence of microbes and their metabolic byproducts, including viscosity, pH, gas production, odor and color development and plant equipment.
With stringent regulations in Europe and the green movement in the United States, Canada and other regions, introducing an alternative to APE in coatings formulations has become highly important.
There are many aspects to formulating coatings, but glass flakes can offer significant performance improvements in a number of ways and in a wide variety of materials, including elastomeric compounds.
Ceramic microspheres may offer formulators alternatives in waterborne UV-curable coatings to serve as both a matting agent and functional performance filler.
These suppliers share their perspectives on the current market, industry drivers, steps they take when developing new products and challenges that formulators face.
The knowledge of the role of APE-free surfactant system on the number of particles through nucleation and growth stages was shown to be important for developing latexes with high solid contents.
