A unique acrylic/polyurethane technology has been described that offers a new mechanism for the faster release of coalescent from industrial wood coatings.
World demand for emulsion polymers is forecast to rise 5.2 percent per year to 12.8 million metric tons in 2014. Gains will be driven by rising global demand for latex
To reduce the VOCs used in PU-based coatings, Yantai Wanhua Polyurethanes Co. Ltd. developed waterborne technologies including PUD, PUA and waterborne 2K.
LUXAN effect pigments belong to the group of pearlescent effect pigments that are composed of low refractive transparent substrates coated with high refractive metal oxides, e.g., titanium dioxide or iron oxide.
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 study demonstrates that 2K waterborne polyurethane clearcoats can be a technology of choice in automotive clearcoat applications in order to combine high-demanding requirements and sustainability development concerns.
The Spraytec laser diffraction particle size analyzer from Malvern Instruments helps optimize the application of water-based furniture coatings using airless spraying.
ADDITOL XW 6544 represents a new class of defoamer/deaerator technology that allows for improved appearance as well as effective defoaming characteristics, especially in low-VOC, high-viscosity coatings applied by airless application.
