Many factors are affected by the presence of microbes and their metabolic byproducts, including viscosity, pH, gas production, odor and color development and plant equipment.

This report ranks coatings manufacturers by coatings sales, and includes information about each manufacturer, including products they manufacture and recent mergers and acquisitions.

There are many aspects to formulating coatings, but glass flakes can offer significant performance improvements in a number of ways and in a wide variety of materials, including elastomeric compounds.

The knowledge gained from this research will be extended to other epoxy/curing agent pairings as well as into fully formulated epoxy systems.

Constant improvements to the coil-coating process are why prepainted metals are becoming manufacturers’ go-to method.

Results show that FEVE resins provide water-based and high-solids coatings excellent resistance to UV degradation.

With this information, new foam-control additives are envisioned, enabling formulators to create the next generation of compliant coatings.

Both the mechanical impact strength characteristics and resistance to atmospheric effects improve with increasing concentration of silicone elastomer particles.

Easily dispersed pigments bring convenience, consistency and profitability to colorant manufacturing by eliminating the costly and time-consuming pigment grinding step.
