Synthomer has developed a novel styrene acrylic binder with excellent water resistance, scrub resistance and hiding power, and that potentially enables the paint and coatings industry to optimize binder and pigment dosage, resulting in paint property, carbon footprint and cost improvements.
This article provides an overview of the classes of self-healing technologies that have been developed, and their ongoing and/or potential uses in the design of coating systems.
Anti-microbial (anti-viral and bactericidal) NANOVA HYGIENE+™ reduces the risk of microbial contamination virtually for all surfaces, including metal, glass, wood, fabrics and plastics by the principle of repelling microbes, offering a non-stick surface to pathogens and self-sanitizing for 90 days.
In order to reduce the structure-borne noise of the rail carriages and create the quietest-possible environment inside, many rolling stock manufacturers use sound deadening. The metal sheets used in the interior construction of carriages – for cladding for example – are covered in sound-deadening materials to dampen the noise caused by the metal sheets.
Unexpected failures may appear after paint application, drying and aging. Surfactant leaching is one such failure, and is discussed in detail in this article.
As the TiO2 market strengthens post-pan demic, TiO2 consumers in North America will continue to be faced with the dilemma of how best to find reductions in TiO2 costs.
Customers can now order less than a single box (in quantities as little as 0.9 kg) of selected Interpon Ready-to-Ship powders (there are nearly 500 to choose from) and have them shipped within three business days or faster.
When the Florida Roofing & Sheet Metal Contractors Association (FRSA) designed its new headquarters, they knew it needed to be built with materials that were energy-efficient, code-compliant and long lasting. To ensure a long-lasting exterior, they turned to coatings and component finishes made with Kynar 500 and Kynar Aquatec PVDF resin.
