In general, the primary function of coatings is to help protect surfaces by forming a nonporous barrier that can alleviate chemical corrosion, mechanical abrasion, dirt pick up and other sources of damage.
The OMEGA® Economic Dispersionizer achieves energy efficiency through utilization of turbulence, cavitation and shear forces, providing real energy and time-saving potential.
Dow Corning® 100F Additive utilizes the low surface tension of fluorosilicone technology to give excellent foam control in solvent-based and radiation-cured coating formulations, including challenging high-solids systems.
History is replete with examples where technological advancement has always been at the cost of nature, and that at every step of the way nature has fought back to get its due.
To comply with VOC regulations, coatings manufacturers have gradually moved away from conventional low-solids, solventborne systems to several emerging technologies, which include high-solids, UV, powder, waterborne and solvent-free systems.1-3
