The article covers how to select the correct intumescent coating systems to use in different areas of the building and why you rarely will have a “one size fits all” solution.

The coating technology discussed in this article is a 100%-waterborne, high-ratio zinc silicate. When used as a single-coat system – or when complemented with a topcoat for aesthetics – the product delivers superior and complete corrosion-prevention benefits that are unmatched when compared to other "IOZ" systems used in the marine environment.

This article examines the environmental benefits of long-life coatings, including a comparison study of the carbon footprint of a fluoropolymer powder coating versus a solvent-based coating.

Clariant has utilized its global network of chemists and product experts to drive the development of a better colorant solution for use in industrial coatings.

This study reveals the degradation mechanism of a typical acrylic melamine automotive clearcoat caused by bird droppings. It was found that natural bird droppings and pancreatin are able to catalyze the hydrolytic cleavage of etheric and esteric linkages of acrylic melamine clearcoats, leaving etched areas and local defects as well as a decreased appearance on the clearcoat surface.

Much research has been focusing on developing antiviral coatings due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Antiviral coatings are known to be a subset of antimicrobial coatings. Some of these antimicrobial coatings possess the capability to kill viruses, bacteria and other microorganisms like fungi and mold, whereas others do not destroy viruses.

There are important advantages related to the latex properties that can be achieved with a semi-batch process, and more specifically a starve-fed process, which is simply a semi-batch process where the monomer concentration inside the polymer particles is kept very low by keeping the monomer feed rate to the reactor low.

Since its formation in the 1970s Falcon Cranes have painted a myriad of products for its customers, primarily cranes, generators and site containers, however their latest project took the company on a prehistoric adventure.

Nanomaterials can provide paints and coatings with unique characteristics — like antimicrobial, anticorrosive and dust-repellent properties — that can offer benefits to a wide range of industries.

New water jetting process uses ultra-high-frequency, pulsating medium-pressure water jet instead of solid abrasive media.
