Ceramic microspheres and glass bubbles may offer formulators cost-effective options for formulation of high solids coatings, including 2K epoxy systems.
As part of a five-year project, the task of protecting the existing Blackfriars rail bridge and the new station that runs along its length presented a specific challenge in that a common protective coating system for old and new steelwork was preferred.
Globalization and short product life cycles are increasing the pressure on companies to open up their innovation processes. However, currently German industrial managers rate the use of external knowledge as least relevant for successful innovation.
A collaborative approach involving many different parties will be essential if we all are to overcome the many technical, financial, legal and humanitarian issues often associated with access to fresh water.
By using carefully selected renewable building block monomers, we can design polyester biopolyols with 100% renewable carbon content that can be used to produce high-performance UV-PUDs suitable for use in many coatings applications.
Excellent clarity through control of the particle size and balance of flow and leveling through thixotropic behavior can be achieved with these rheology control agents.
The improvement in coating performance comes in part from the presence of the hardwearing nanodiamond particles integrated into the polymers, but there is also a change in the overall structure of the coating.
