Responding to the surging consumer trend for healthier homes and spaces, ECOS Paints, a leading manufacturer of eco-friendly, VOC-free paints, stains and varnishes, has introduced Lisa Tharp Colors, a collaboration with award-winning designer, colorist and wellness expert Lisa Tharp.
A new binder for water-based wood trim paints is based on a heterogeneous acrylic polymer structure. It combines excellent flexibility and high blocking resistance, while maintaining low VOC content.
Unlike many current assisted-care facilities, paint color palettes for senior living developments will become more sophisticated over the coming decade, with infusions of modern architecture, colors and nature-inspired elements.
Synthomer has developed a novel styrene acrylic binder with excellent water resistance, scrub resistance and hiding power, and that potentially enables the paint and coatings industry to optimize binder and pigment dosage, resulting in paint property, carbon footprint and cost improvements.
Anti-microbial (anti-viral and bactericidal) NANOVA HYGIENE+™ reduces the risk of microbial contamination virtually for all surfaces, including metal, glass, wood, fabrics and plastics by the principle of repelling microbes, offering a non-stick surface to pathogens and self-sanitizing for 90 days.
Unexpected failures may appear after paint application, drying and aging. Surfactant leaching is one such failure, and is discussed in detail in this article.
When the Florida Roofing & Sheet Metal Contractors Association (FRSA) designed its new headquarters, they knew it needed to be built with materials that were energy-efficient, code-compliant and long lasting. To ensure a long-lasting exterior, they turned to coatings and component finishes made with Kynar 500 and Kynar Aquatec PVDF resin.
The average molecular weight of a latex can be influenced by a number of factors, but it is often not realized that the number of particles in the latex (which is directly related to particle size) is important in determining molecular weight.
