Given the overall lack of commitment to smart coatings as a class of materials, we see investment in or acquisitions of innovative smaller firms that are specifically smart coatings focused as an entry point for companies looking the pursue these markets.
Defoamers that contain a molecular defoaming component as part of their composition show an ability to defoam more efficiently than their non-molecular defoaming-containing counterparts.
The laboratory will support the formulation needs for pigments, resins, performance and formulation additives that are used in transportation, industrial, furniture and floor coatings, and plastics applications.
The new rheological additive (RA) produces strong initial anti-sag results, even under these very low-energy mixing conditions with no added heat. The stability following accelerated aging is also greatly improved relative to the commercial RAs. The new RA activates quickly and does not require a lengthy heat up period during paint or adhesive manufacturing.
This new generation of liquid organic corrosion inhibitors can be used to enhance the performance of nontoxic anticorrosive pigments in direct-to-metal coatings.
