Defoamers that contain a molecular defoaming component as part of their composition show an ability to defoam more efficiently than their non-molecular defoaming-containing counterparts.
The laboratory will support the formulation needs for pigments, resins, performance and formulation additives that are used in transportation, industrial, furniture and floor coatings, and plastics applications.
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.
