In architectural paint applications, the main challenge for suppliers and paint producers is to meet environmental regulations while producing products with acceptable quality.
Feldspathic minerals are much more costly than ground calcium carbonate, yet they are used in interior formulations because they are perceived to have better physical properties such as scrub and burnish resistance.
Tallicin® 4040 deaerator for polyurea polyaspartic coatings used on concrete, metal, wood and other substrates allows the formulator to minimize surface defects in a 100-percent solids coating system without the use of solvents.
Thor AMME™ (Advanced Micro Matrix Embedding) technology has enabled the creation of a new generation of dry-film ACTICIDE® biocides with a wide range of benefits.
