This new antimicrobial technology provides a safe mechanism for generating an antimicrobial active surface for coatings with unique, long-lasting antimicrobial protection against a wide spectrum of microbes with no risk of microbial resistance.

SMA resins have been effectively used as pigment dispersants and ink transfer aids for many years. This study quantitatively demonstrates that a new SMA copolymer derivative performed exceptionally well as a transfer aid.

To overcome the drawbacks of powdered carbon blacks, Orion Engineered Carbons is developing carbon black-based pigment preparations that facilitate, and in many cases eliminate, the dispersion step.

Greater awareness of phenomena that occur on a nanometric scale and subsequent testing (both in application and synthesis of polymers) have led to the development of new materials with better performance characteristics than the traditional ones, with full respect for the environment.

The adhesion/corrosion balance of the previous study yielded significant new insights into resin design. Polymers with good wet adhesion and good corrosion resistance could be isolated, and those properties correlated back to their monomer compositions and particle morphologies.

Waterborne OMU has all the advantages of solventborne OMU including inherent mar resistance, chemical resistance and amber film color, while overcoming the shortcomings of low-VOC solventborne OMU including slow dry and softer film.

Cardura E10P glycidyl ester enables the easy production of high-performance, solvent-free waterborne acrylic polyol dispersions.
