The effects of different particle sizes, forms, and loading levels of carbon black on colorimetric properties in powder coating resin systems are investigated.
As a stabilizer and secondary rheology modifier, colloidal MCC provided minimum viscosity to waterborne coating systems at low use level while significantly improving in-can shelf stability and color-tinting ability.
This article discusses some of the terms and calculations related to pigments used in coatings, including oil absorption/surface area; pigment volume concentration; and pigment to binder ratio.
Each pigment manufacturer optimizes particle size for the specific properties for that pigment grade. Hiding, tint strength, photo stability, viscosity and surfactant/resin demand are all affected differently by particle size.
The TiO2 industry continues to change through unusual global economic conditions. The uncommon response of global producers is changing the short- and long-term dynamics of the industry.
A main theme at the ACS was sustainability and the circular economy. This article provides a snapshot of just some of the technology that PCI learned about.
If these specifications are followed, replicable measurements of deep-black coatings are possible and information about the blackness/jetness MY and undertone dM can be obtained.
Because of its high, abrasive nature, TiO2 can put traditional two-piece diaphragms under extreme stress, leading to costly leak points, failure and downtime.
Recent advances have found that besides color, CICPs have properties that give them the ability to address regulatory requirements that give not only color, but functional properties.
