From its dedication in 1909, to last year’s celebration of the 90th anniversary of Route 66, the Santa Monica Pier has been among southern California’s most popular attractions and historical landmarks.]

The near-term outlook for participants in the industrial coatings industry remains bright. On top of broad economic tailwinds such as low interest rates, cash-rich participants and an active M&A market, several industry-specific factors are providing further lift.

In this article we report on the development of a tin-free aqueous silicone gum dispersion from early tin-based compositions.

By combining an advanced polymeric additive structure with macromonomer functionality with functional groups that can covalently bond to an epoxy system, a new type of additive with superior properties could be generated.

Using one hundred percent-reactive methylene malonate monomers, difunctionals, multifunctionals and prepolymers, manufacturers of paints, coatings and other products can dial in a wide range of properties to produce a variety of high-performing polymer products that cure rapidly at low or ambient temperatures.

Valspar’s Fluropon Classic is a high-performance, three-coat system that features a metallic effect, in addition to a clear coat for tremendous shine and protection.
