Methylene chloride is one of the 10 chemicals that EPA has evaluated and determined to pose an unreasonable risk to human health for certain conditions of use.
New high-barrier, mono-material packaging offers the same packaging and process performance as the multi-material structure commonly used for dry pet food, but is also fully recyclable.
This article demonstrates two separate methods for achieving burnish-resistant coatings: amine functional silica, which fits easily into existing manufacturing processes; and polysiloxane/silica dispersion, which requires a more complicated process to manufacture.
The textile coatings market is witnessing substantial growth. Technological advancements are driving the demand for textile coatings in various end-use industries such as transportation, building and construction, protective clothing, industrial, medical, and other industries.
Read about a full turn-key solution to combat corrosion under insulation on an ammonium-sulphate feed tank. Within the space of 24 hours, the tank was repaired and protected against future corrosion with an industrial composite wrap system.
Participants in the can coating market must leverage innovation, embrace sustainability, and foster collaboration to capitalize on emerging opportunities and surmount challenges. Advanced coating technologies have emerged as pivotal drivers of innovation within the sector, re-shaping packaging requirements and standards.
A new fast-cure, high UV-resistant curing agent that addresses both performance and EHS gaps in the current market enables a rapid return to service and delivers coatings with exceptional aesthetics at ambient and low temperatures, outstanding carbmation and UV resistance, and extended working times.
Products containing thermochromic pigments change color—sometimes permanently—due to heat exposure. Could these pigments raise awareness of the dangers caused by above-average temperatures? Knowing the basics of how they work could help you decide whether or not to use them.
This article discusses new developments in water-based UV-curable polyurethanes that offer much-improved 50 °C paint stability in clear, as well as pigmented coatings. It also discusses how these resins address the desired attributes of the coating applicator in increasing line speed through fast water release, improved block resistance, and solvent resistance off the line.
