This study demonstrates that a waterborne acrylic coating system designed for finishing wood products can perform well compared to traditional solventborne finishes.
A series of modified siloxane defoamers has been developed that offers a controlled range of defoaming strength and compatibility relative to each other.
ASHLAND SPECIALTY INGREDIENTS launched Natrosol™ Performax hydroxyethylcellulose, a paint-thickening technology that accelerates production and increases quality of waterborne architectural coatings.
Today’s coatings market expects more from its white pigments than brightness and opacity. White pigments, such as titanium dioxide (TiO2), barium sulfate (BaSO4) and zinc sulphide, are just examples of many ingredients possible in a complex coatings formulation.
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.
Scottish scientists Dr. David Hepworth and Dr. Eric Whale invented Curran®, an innovative additive for coatings. Curran® was developed with a special, patented process by Scottish company CelluComp Ltd.
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.
