Solventborne Coatings

RSS

Driers as paint additives are commonly used to promote curing of alkyd solventborne and waterborne coatings.

This paper describes the controlled release of IPBC (3-iodo-2-propynyl butylcarbamate) through encapsulation.

This article discusses the three types of OPVs and emphasizes the use of cellulose esters as additives to improve flow and leveling, and in many cases adhesion.

Predispersed nanoparticles can be very beneficial to the life cycle of coatings.

Colortrend USA LLC has developed Chroma-Chem® 846, a lower-VOC line of non-aqueous colorants for use in solventborne industrial applications.

This article highlights a new cobalt-free catalyst that helps to achieve the necessary cure time as well as improve properties associated with water-based, high solids alkyds and alkyd-modified resins.

This paper will review the current use of silica nanoparticles in UV-curable coatings and introduce effective approaches for delivering silica nanoparticles to UV-curable resin formulations without the drawbacks of current solvent- or monomer-based silica nanoparticle dispersions.

The design of a successful multipurpose solventborne colourant demands a deep knowledge of the wide array of possible raw materials that can be utilized to make them.
