New pigment technology using ultra-thin aluminum substrates can be used to produce highly opaque, chromatic effect coatings. With the individual effect pigments it is possible to realize color shades that were previously only known from (semi-) precious metals.

Based on novel PUR-silane hybrid systems, this next generation of high-performance scratch- and stain-resistant coatings delivering the optimal balance between performance, price and convenience, is now increasingly more accessible to the DIY sector.

This article addresses some of the key challenges associated with formulating resins at high solids levels and outlines the potential for Michael addition chemistry to raise coatings solids levels to new heights.

Investing in a painting robot is not a guarantee of future success. The five use cases in this article highlight why people are increasingly interested in these purposeful machines.

New solution for long-time customer also helps improve finish quality, on-time delivery.

Formulations are sometimes adjusted by fine-tuning various additives, including antioxidants and light stabilizers, which provide different thermal and light stabilization properties. It is very important to find the best combination of additives to achieve the necessary performance, especially if the final substrate or area to be powder coated requires specific durability or heat resistance.

This innovative new series of poly-Mannich epoxy curing agents is formulated to offer a reduced hazard rating and variable reactivity inclusive of slow, medium and outstanding speed of cure.

Fibrillated cellulose is a 100%-natural, biodegradable and sustainable material. It performs as a multi-functional stabilizer with low impact on viscosity in a wide range of coatings applications, as well as supporting a more sustainable lifecycle.

A good primer is an excellent key to a successful coatings system - especially when corrosion protection of metals is at stake. This high performance, water-based epoxy primer maximizes durability and corrosion inhibition.

Automotive technology makes cars safer, more capable and increasingly enjoyable to drive. However, the impact of high-tech coatings often gets overlooked as an instrumental part of helping make such advancements happen. Here's a look at some of the coating innovations you should know about that push automotive progress forward.
