Each year, over 30 of PPG’s global color experts from 11 different countries come together to share emerging trends from their regions and business unit sectors. These insights are gleaned through attending local design shows and keeping a finger on the pulse of runway and architecture trends, as well as lifestyle directions, demographic changes, societal, and other macroeconomic influences rising to prominence on a regional level.
As a stabilizer and secondary rheology modifier, colloidal MCC provided minimum viscosity to waterborne coating systems at low use level while significantly improving in-can shelf stability and color-tinting ability.
Spherical precipitated silica particles can dramatically improve wet scrub resistance, as well as burnish resistance, of interior architectural paints. These unique particles prove useful tools that can be leveraged alone or in combination with one or more other fillers to formulate high quality yet cost effective interior architectural coatings.
Applied Graphene Materials (AGM) has published data to demonstrate that its graphene nanoplatelet dispersions can enable high-performance paints and coatings to effectively protect a substrate against harsh chemicals in highly aggressive environments.
Humidity is one of the greatest impediments to achieving high-performance and consistent paint and coating applications. Here's a look at how humidity impacts surface preparation and coating quality and what you can do to alleviate that impact.
A new range of ecological anti-foams has been developed as an alternative to mineral oil based anti-foams, showing an equal or better anti-foaming performance for applications in architectural paint formulations.
As the pandemic continues, so does the fight against the spread of viruses in all industries. Institutions, like the College of Marshall Islands (CMI), have acquired and begun applying anti-microbial surface coatings throughout their campuses.
