The aim of this study was to design hydrophobic or super hydrophobic coatings based on sol-gel chemistry by incorporating hydrophobic moieties and controlling surface morphology.
With 1,024 exhibitors from 42 countries and 28,500 trade visitors representing nearly 110 nationalities, the European Coatings Show closed with new record highs.
By incorporating recycled PET into polyols, the properties familiar to PET, such as toughness, flexibility, hydrolytic stability, and chemical and stain resistance, can be incorporated into many CASE applications.
Both the mechanical impact strength characteristics and resistance to atmospheric effects improve with increasing concentration of silicone elastomer particles.
A novel phenalkamide, based on renewable CNSL material, enables solvent-free epoxy systems for protective and industrial coatings as well as adhesive applications.
