It is known that the combination of wax and PTFE provides much better wear resistance than either one alone.

This additive maximizes the wetting and dispersion of pigments for various solventborne systems, provides good antisagging properties, eliminates settling and enhances stability.

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.

The article also lists current VOC limits in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, as well as key global emissions regulations.

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.
