Ultrasonic acoustically assisted inline drying provides energy cost savings, increased throughput and reduced footprint.

Waterborne self-crosslinking acrylic emulsions are a suitable alternative to SB finishes for industrial wood coatings.

The characteristics and performance of Eco-Sil harvested from rice hulls indicate that it is a cost-effective and environmentally acceptable replacement for fumed silica.

Reducing energy and waste across the value chain, together with limiting raw material usage in coating formulas will become increasingly important aspects of product formulation strategies as materials become scarcer.

The alternative matting agents discussed in this article offer a first step to developing new ways of controlling the light scattering properties of radiation-curable coatings.
