Traditional two-pack PUR technology combined with surface-modified nanosilica particles results in increased scratch and abrasion resistance in transparent, high-gloss coatings for plastics.
CABOT CORP. launched EMPEROR® 1600 and EMPEROR® 1200 premium carbon black pigments for coatings applications where exceptional color and superior processability are primary objectives.
Acrolon Ultra is a high-gloss, solvent-based acrylic polyurethane providing long-term UV protection for high-profile structures where high durability is required.
Troysol™ Z372 is a high-performance universal mar and slip additive that improves the wetting of low-surface-energy and contaminated substrates, resulting in uniform film coverage.
In this article, we evaluate how silicone additives can be used beyond the traditional benefits, and demonstrate how these additives can bring added performance in titanium dioxide-based formulations to prevent this age-old problem.
Performance requirements for carbon black pigments are increasingly important in the development of advanced coating, ink and polymer formulations as the need for more eco-friendly products grows.
To comply with VOC regulations, coatings manufacturers have gradually moved away from conventional low-solids, solventborne systems to several emerging technologies, which include high-solids, UV, powder, waterborne and solvent-free systems.1-3
