A Novel Amine Neutralizer for Waterborne Industrial and Automotive Coatings

Dr. Chunzhao Li
March 9, 2018
2 Comments

This study has shown that DMMOPA has a unique combination of balanced physical properties. These physical properties offered DMMOPA-neutralized paints a multitude of performance advantages in a variety of waterborne paint systems as discussed in this article, such as enhanced hardness and solvent resistance in polyol-MF baking coatings, as well as better gloss, scrub resistance, water resistance and corrosion resistance in latex paints.

Current Trends of Cationic Coating Formulations, Production Methods and Apparatus Upon Formable Sheet Metal

Bruce Bachman
February 6, 2018
No Comments

UV cationic coatings present a viable and attractive option to OEMs, sheet metal mills and formable sheet metal fabricators for precoated deep draw steels to present-day conventional sheet metal forming, bending, stamping and/or fabrication operations that require secondary conventional industrial conformal coatings processing, as well as an effective delivery transport mechanism for new pathogen inhibition and biocidal efficacy technologies.

The Impact of Film Properties on Corrosion Resistance

in Waterborne Acrylics and Next-Generation Low-VOC Resin Development
Allen S. Bulick Chris R. LeFever Glenn R. Frazee Matt L. Mellott Kailong Jin
February 5, 2018
No Comments

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.
