Ceramic microspheres may offer formulators alternatives in waterborne UV-curable coatings to serve as both a matting agent and functional performance filler.

The knowledge gained from this research will be extended to other epoxy/curing agent pairings as well as into fully formulated epoxy systems.

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.

With 1,024 exhibitors from 42 countries and 28,500 trade visitors representing nearly 110 nationalities, the European Coatings Show closed with new record highs.

With this information, new foam-control additives are envisioned, enabling formulators to create the next generation of compliant coatings.

A novel phenalkamide, based on renewable CNSL material, enables solvent-free epoxy systems for protective and industrial coatings as well as adhesive applications.

The coatings industry has made a good start but has further to go on its path of sustainable development. The opportunity for significant progress in the future lies beyond business-as-usual.

The VESTANAT EP-M range is a family of silane/urethane- hybrid crosslinkers that generates multifunctional, scratch-resistant coatings applicable on a variety of substrates.
