The silicone-epoxy hybrid resin technology combines the positive effects of an aliphatic epoxy resin, like corrosion protection and chemical resistance, with the UV resistance and low yellowing characteristics of an alkoxy silicone resin.

This new facility is an example of moving forward in sustainability by creating permanent high value for all stakeholders.

Scientists in Korea have developed wearable, graphene-coated fabrics that can detect dangerous gases present in the air, alerting the wearer by turning on an LED light.

The intent of this article is to highlight the vast complexities facing the coatings industry as it continues to respond to consumer and regulatory demands for “more environmentally friendly products.”

The aim of this study was to design hydrophobic or super hydrophobic coatings based on sol-gel chemistry by incorporating hydrophobic moieties and controlling surface morphology.

Many factors are affected by the presence of microbes and their metabolic byproducts, including viscosity, pH, gas production, odor and color development and plant equipment.

This report ranks coatings manufacturers by coatings sales, and includes information about each manufacturer, including products they manufacture and recent mergers and acquisitions.

Both the mechanical impact strength characteristics and resistance to atmospheric effects improve with increasing concentration of silicone elastomer particles.

This article demonstrates the performance of biobased succinic acid in PUD and coating formulations.
