It was found that samples having a higher percentage of CNSL showed excellent corrosion scratch properties, and successfully passed the humidity and blistering tests. Analyzing the overall performance of the films derived from each sample, it may be said that all the samples showed good mechanical, chemical and corrosion resis¬tance, keeping cost in mind.

Soybean oil is economical and abundantly available from soybeans sustainably grown in the United States. The hydrophobic nature of this bio-based raw material is a dominant performance attribute in a multitude of coatings applications.

This article presents encouraging results from a designed study looking at the combination of recycled and renewable feedstocks, as well as the use of non-metallic corrosion inhibition, resulting in a new product for superb metal substrate protection.

We have been working on morphology control in latex particles for many years and have come to learn that achieving desired structures in composite particles is dependent not only upon the emulsion polymerization recipe, but also strongly upon the reaction process conditions.

In this study, polyurethane-acrylic resins with UV functionality have been evaluated according to industry specifications for both interior and exterior industrial wood applications.

Even though the coating properties of the new alkyd formulation matched perfectly the properties of the old formulation, what had been the unforeseen consequence of changing one oil for another in the formulation?

This article presents a new family of polymers, which combine vinyl (neo)ester and vinyl alkoxysilane monomers. Variation of process parameters, monomer composition and alkoxysilane levels yielded a series of polymers with solids content between 70 and 100%, and exhibiting a wide range of attractive properties.

It is up to the creative minds of the industry to make use of polysulfide polymer self-healing properties to create uncontested market environments for polysulfide-based sealants, adhesives and coatings, and priceless added value to their customers.

This article provides further insight in how PLA polyols expand the formulator'’s toolbox for the development of coatings with improved key properties such as hardness, adhesion, solvent resistance and fracture toughness.
