The current and potential applications of microencapsulation most likely mark just the beginning of possibilities in the coatings industry.

This paper describes the controlled release of IPBC (3-iodo-2-propynyl butylcarbamate) through encapsulation.

This article discusses the three types of OPVs and emphasizes the use of cellulose esters as additives to improve flow and leveling, and in many cases adhesion.

Predispersed nanoparticles can be very beneficial to the life cycle of coatings.

Troy Corp.’s multifunctional Troysol™ LAC provides excellent wetting of low-energy and contaminated surfaces, resulting in strong adhesive bonding.

The choice of wetting agents used in architectural coatings can have a significant impact when formulating low- to zero-VOC paints.

Newer ultrafine nepheline syenite sizes have refractive index and physical properties that are particularly well suited for use as a performance additive in radiation-curable coatings, inks and adhesives.

RHOPLEX EC-3100 is an all-acrylic polymer designed primarily for use in pigmented elastomeric basecoats to provide adhesion to weathered TPO roofing membranes.
