This month’s Formulating with Mike column covers the life cycle assessment of alkyd emulsions and concludes the four-part series on alkyd emulsification.
Company President Marc Jackson assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer, effective June 30, 2023. Jackson succeeds founder and CEO Tom Eckhardt who will remain with the company as chairman of the board.
He brings a wealth of chemical industry operational expertise, including 10 years of manufacturing experience in refineries, cogeneration, and chemical reactors. The company hopes he will continue to contribute to upgrades in supply security.
Polymers are unlike other types of compounds because of their extremely large size, which
has a great impact on their unique properties and how they behave in different phase states. Many applications of polymers and polymer coatings need flexibility at low to ambient temperatures. This article explores the difference between amorphous and crystalline polymers.
The new Ohio facility provides advanced capabilities for the company’s next generation Accelshield™ packaging coatings, connecting innovation and research and development with trials and production.
Bio-based coatings encompass a broad product category. They use natural resources such as essential oils, foods, and forest products to perform comparably to those typically derived from fossil fuels. This article discusses bio-based materials in the coatings market and offers insights about future developments.
Semibatch emulsion polymerizations are predominately run in “starve-fed” mode, but what does that really mean? In this edition of PCI’s Did You Know column, EPCEd discusses the reasons to run in starve-fed mode, and more.
This month’s Formulating with Mike column is the conclusion to a three-part series, and covers the emulsification process as well as test data of alkyd emulsions.
