Extensive testing demonstrates that this dispersion technology enables waterborne alkyds that offer a performance level significantly exceeding currently available waterborne alternatives and equal to – and in some cases better than – solventborne alkyds.
The intent of this article is to highlight the vast complexities facing the coatings industry as it continues to respond to consumer and regulatory demands for “more environmentally friendly products.”
This work has established a place for some novel new polyols with high recycle content combined with high performance for specialty coating applications, where protection of metal surfaces is of prime importance.
BASF's new trend collection is entitled RAW. The 2015-2016 BASF collection features approaches for the display of social trends and translates them into distinctive colors.
The new rheological additive (RA) produces strong initial anti-sag results, even under these very low-energy mixing conditions with no added heat. The stability following accelerated aging is also greatly improved relative to the commercial RAs. The new RA activates quickly and does not require a lengthy heat up period during paint or adhesive manufacturing.
This new generation of liquid organic corrosion inhibitors can be used to enhance the performance of nontoxic anticorrosive pigments in direct-to-metal coatings.
Cost-designed pigment preparations can replace standard lead chromates. Pigment preparations and hybrid pigments formulated with weather-fast organic pigments are not inferior to stabilized lead chromates and can even outperform standard products
In automotive refinishing, this technology offers end users a drop-in solution that can accelerate cycle time, help improve profits and reduce material waste – all while providing an enhanced environmental, health and safety profile.
