Tolonate X FLO 100 can be advantageously used in the design of polyurethane dispersions.

This study has confirmed benefits from use of liquid polybutadiene polymers in solvent-based coatings with additional enhancements seen from a new liquid polybutadiene.

It is therefore important to evaluate different crosslinkers and understand their benefits and drawbacks in a given system to enable the formulation of a high-performance wood coating.

The real-time insight generated by ACOMP enables polymer manufacturers to immediately respond to process anomalies, adhere to tighter polymer quality control specifications, and optimize polymer production for continuous, batch and semibatch runs.

UV-cure cationic coatings present viable and attractive options to OEMs, polymer coaters, extruders, contract coaters and/or thermoformers to improve functional and/or physical properties for formed polymer film/sheet as well as an effective delivery transport mechanism for new pathogen inhibition and biocidal efficacy technologies.

New amphiphilic silicon epoxy hybrid binders were developed for biocide-free foul-release coatings.

This study reviewed analysis of several formulations based on an FEVE emulsion and an FEVE dispersion.

This article demonstrates the equivalence of a simple calculation for crosslink density to more sophisticated methods developed by others. By virtue of the method's simplicity it has been easily extended to more complicated UV-curing systems and serves to easily determine the effects of prepolymer architecture on the crosslink density in the cured film.
