Over the past couple of decades, there has been a lot of discussion, R&D, marketing and sales efforts aimed at converting as many products that are based upon fossil fuel-derived specialty chemicals to “green” (biosourced) analogs, as possible.
Silanes have been shown to improve film properties of resin systems when they are reacted into the resin or incorporated into a resin solution as additives. The improved properties result from their unique functionality, which allows for inter-polymer crosslinking and chemical bond¬ing to many substrates.
The use of ambient-curing silicone resins shows a good alternate option to formulate high heat-resistant coatings compared to the traditional oven-curing or ambient-drying silicone resins.
MFG Chemical's new President and CEO discusses his background and his first several months on the job, as well as the new protocols and changes MFG rolled out since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
To design an emulsion polymer with improved and balanced performance in the interior paint segment, Arkema has identified both polymer and formulation drivers to improve three performance targets
FEVE powder-based topcoats can provide weatherability, corrosion resistance and environmental benefits when used in exterior architectural coatings applications.
A novel powder coating technology using hydroxyalkylamide is pre¬sented in this article for robust manufacturing and processing efficiency using a single resin system.
By incorporating a specialty amine-functional silane oligomer into existing waterborne silane pretreatments, the need for an elevated curing temperature is effectively eliminated, opening the door to this type of environmentally friendly technology to industries and markets that were previously restricted by this elevated-temperature curing requirement.
Whatever your reasons for varying the monomer feed rates, be aware that there may be unintended effects; in addition to the desired outcome, some product properties may also change.
