This month’s Formulating with Mike column continues the discussion on resins, with a focus on epoxy curing agents. When it comes to great adhesion, chemical resistance, and corrosion resistance, an epoxy is hard to beat. There are different epoxy curing agents, and each one provides different properties that can be suited for a wide variety of end-use applications.
This month’s Formulating with Mike columncontinues the focus on resins. Mike tests paints with APE-containing and APE-free emulsions for stability, particle size, and final paint quality.

The market for architectural coatings is projected to grow from $85.1 billion in 2023 to $102 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 3.9%. Read about key factors that provide market players with growth opportunities, as well as the potential challenges players could face during the forecast period.
This month’s Formulating with Mike column covers the life cycle assessment of alkyd emulsions and concludes the four-part series on alkyd emulsification.
Hundreds of millions of gallons of solvent are used each year, with the vast majority ultimately converted into greenhouse gases. This is a problem, but one with clear solutions. By implementing reuse strategies, traditional recycling, or most effectively, modern solvent recycling, coatings manufacturers can drastically improve the sustainability of their operations.
This article examines the environmental benefits of long-life coatings, including a comparison study of the carbon footprint of a fluoropolymer powder coating versus a solvent-based coating.
Clariant has utilized its global network of chemists and product experts to drive the development of a better colorant solution for use in industrial coatings.
