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.
Formulators in the United States will continue to use AMP as one of the most effective products in next-generation coatings with an improved environmental profile.
When this new diacid is used as the system crosslinker in GMA powder powder coatings, the resultant coating has twice the impact resistance as that of the incumbent diacid.
Ceramic microspheres and glass bubbles may offer formulators cost-effective options for formulation of high solids coatings, including 2K epoxy systems.
Excellent clarity through control of the particle size and balance of flow and leveling through thixotropic behavior can be achieved with these rheology control agents.
For yellow pigments, CTAC chemistries have been found to be most effective at the lowest doses (0.1% or less) because they don’t work solely on formaldehyde-based killing.
