A novel alkyd dispersion has been developed that offers performance similar to traditional solvent-based alkyds at VOC levels near zero.

Manchester, England-based HMG Paints Ltd. supplied paint for the refurbishment of the city’s iconic Central Library.

The present study will demonstrate the utility of aqueous dispersions of functionalized low-molecular-weight hydrocarbon polymers as a formulating tool to develop improved surface treatments for rubber-to-substrate adhesion.

 This luminous metal effect pigment line utilize the strengths and advantages of pearlescent pigment technology combined with the highly desired properties of aluminum substrate, which is made possible by a patented passivation process. 

Mixture design is a type of DOE that takes advantage of the fact that the proportions of the ingredients of a mixture must add up to 100% to reduce the number of experimental runs required to evaluate the design space.

Current work is focused on controlling the interfacial barrier to produce systems in which reactive species can be isolated in the same solution and then mixed upon application.

A new generation of hybrid waterborne alkyd dispersions has been specifically designed and developed to provide the best protection on horizontal and some vertical wood surfaces.

This article describes a designed set of experiments that compared the coatings properties of two-component waterborne polyurethane coatings and two-component solventborne polyurethane coatings.

The Dow Chemical Company anticipates US EPA registration of a new active ingredient N-methyl-1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one (MBIT in 2014.)

 Two new additives have been developed with patented applications for improving performance in solvent free, coatings.
