Paint and Coatings Additives

The characteristics and performance of Eco-Sil harvested from rice hulls indicate that it is a cost-effective and environmentally acceptable replacement for fumed silica.

The alternative matting agents discussed in this article offer a first step to developing new ways of controlling the light scattering properties of radiation-curable coatings.

A novel water-dispersible blend combining a high-performance UV absorber with a non-reacting HALS was designed to fulfill the requirements for long-term weather resistance in exterior deco, decking and joinery markets.

This revolutionary, “green” vapor-phase corrosion inhibitor (VpCI®) is aimed for protection of metal parts in a non-ventilating space.

The obligations placed on suppliers and importers of treated articles have increased significantly, and now industries with no previous biocide concerns need to consider what steps are needed to ensure compliance.

This additive maximizes the wetting and dispersion of pigments for various solventborne systems, provides good antisagging properties, eliminates settling and enhances stability.

Due to the low concentration needed, this biocide does not compromise the paint’s chemical structure, color or other cooperative biocides involved. Instead it opens up new formulation possibilities for the active ingredients used in controlling antifouling performance.
