This new antimicrobial technology provides a safe mechanism for generating an antimicrobial active surface for coatings with unique, long-lasting antimicrobial protection against a wide spectrum of microbes with no risk of microbial resistance.

SMA resins have been effectively used as pigment dispersants and ink transfer aids for many years. This study quantitatively demonstrates that a new SMA copolymer derivative performed exceptionally well as a transfer aid.

Powder formulators enhance the performance of a coating formulation with the addition of a judicious amount of flow modifier and degassing agent. But be careful, a little goes a long way.

This study has shown that DMMOPA has a unique combination of balanced physical properties. These physical properties offered DMMOPA-neutralized paints a multitude of performance advantages in a variety of waterborne paint systems as discussed in this article, such as enhanced hardness and solvent resistance in polyol-MF baking coatings, as well as better gloss, scrub resistance, water resistance and corrosion resistance in latex paints.

The results of this study can offer significant performance gains in formulating high-solids, high-build epoxy coatings. This is particularly important in regions where VOC emissions must be reduced significantly.
