There are many commercial applications where both floors and walls must be sealed and protected from moisture. Many of those are in restaurants and food processing plants where walls are scrubbed down every day. The right coating can ensure these spaces last longer. 

The EAB course will be held January 22-26 at the ChemQuest Technology Institute (CQTI) facilities in South Boston, Va. Beginning April 22, the more advanced EAS course will blend remote and in-person learning to provide participants with a combined virtual and hands-on opportunity.

Primers are key to an effective coating system, and good primers serve several important functions including strong adhesion.

DAREX WBC 711 was designed specifically for irregular ends of tinplate or aluminum cans lined by shower head or die lining application.

EPS^® (Engineered Polymer Solutions) has launched EPS 2133, an all-acrylic polymer made without APEO surfactants that can be formulated for permanent and removable pressure-sensitive adhesive applications.

Mastin will join the NAM Board to bolster the association’s leadership in policy advocacy, legal action, workforce solutions, operational excellence, and news and insights.

Plasma pre-treatment is a crucial step for improving the quality and durability of automotive assemblies and components. It enhances the adhesion and compatibility of different materials that are used for encapsulation, printing, or painting processes. By applying plasma to the surface of low-energy materials, it removes contaminants and creates functional groups that increase the surface energy and reactivity.

In current practical applications, the classification of attapulgite clay is mainly based on its functions and uses. Colloidal attapulgite clay, combined with other soft clays and suitable additives, can be used in thin-layer coatings such as EPC coatings for casting, anti-corrosion coatings at certain high temperatures, insulation coatings, and anti-oxidation coatings. 

Opportunities created by rising infrastructure initiatives, the booming super and hypercar sectors, and consumer electronics sales are likely to fuel the pressure-sensitive adhesive market size over 2023-2032. 

The new office plans to offer local expertise in the growing composite, adhesive, and functional polymer markets in Turkey and Central Asia.
