Traditional two-pack PUR technology combined with surface-modified nanosilica particles results in increased scratch and abrasion resistance in transparent, high-gloss coatings for plastics.
The architectural design of a new amine epoxy hardener by molecular engineering has been shown to meet increasingly stringent market demands on legislation compliance, operator and environmental impact, and high productivity while showing excellent cost-performance balance of self-leveling epoxy systems.
VeoVa monomer enhances the performance of vinyl acetate- and acrylic-based latices, significantly upgrading key properties such as water and alkali resistance in both polymer systems.
New products are being developed to meet the challenge of delivering low- and zero-VOC offerings, including specialty resins, coalescents/plasticizers, water-based and energy curable colorants, foam control and silicone products.
The impact of coalescent type, coalescent concentration and latex type variables on film formation were investigated through the application of key statistical tools.
It has been demonstrated that a judicious choice of two HM-NSPs – one being weakly associative and the other being strongly associative – can provide the target rheology for allacrylic and styrene-acrylic-based waterborne coatings.
