In architectural paint applications, the main challenge for suppliers and paint producers is to meet environmental regulations while producing products with acceptable quality.

The performance properties that can ultimately be obtained from an epoxy resin system depend primarily on the nature of the curing agent.

Feldspathic minerals are much more costly than ground calcium carbonate, yet they are used in interior formulations because they are perceived to have better physical properties such as scrub and burnish resistance.

CERAFLOUR® 1000 is based on renewable raw materials and represents an alternative to natural and synthetic waxes.

Tallicin® 4040 deaerator for polyurea polyaspartic coatings used on concrete, metal, wood and other substrates allows the formulator to minimize surface defects in a 100-percent solids coating system without the use of solvents.

BIOBAN™ 551S is an in-can preservative based on the new antimicrobial active ingredient MBIT (2-methyl-1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one).

Thor AMME™ (Advanced Micro Matrix Embedding) technology has enabled the creation of a new generation of dry-film ACTICIDE® biocides with a wide range of benefits.

Associative thickeners play an important role in defining the rheology of waterborne latex paints.

VINNAPAS® EF8300 is a vinyl acetate-ethylene-based copolymer (VAE) characterized by excellent performance properties, including good block resistance, scrub resistance and wet adhesion.

EVO-100™ is a renewable, bio-based propylene glycol.
