SMA resins have been effectively used as pigment dispersants and ink transfer aids for many years. This study quantitatively demonstrates that a new SMA copolymer derivative performed exceptionally well as a transfer aid.
These post-addable additives can be effectively utilized as post-addible solutions to alter smooth or glossy stocked powder coatings into matted or textured finishes while circumventing the high research and development, and production costs normally associated with small, quick turnaround orders and reducing manufacturing complexities.
Powder formulators enhance the performance of a coating formulation with the addition of a judicious amount of flow modifier and degassing agent. But be careful, a little goes a long way.
Developments in the area of information and communication technology are creating considerable potential and acting as a catalyst for innovations in automation, machinery and application systems.
The improved adhesion, good corrosion resistance and good QUV gloss retention show that the hydrophobic resin in the hybrid polymer can be used to reduce the effects of high acid on corrosion and of styrene on QUV gloss retention.
Following the results from this study, biobased preventative is an excellent and environmentally acceptable alternative to petroleum-based products in temporary corrosion protection.
In this two-part series, we explore how this carefully crafted design of experiments (DOE) isolated and contrasted the impact and interaction of three key process variables: film build; atomization, and coating viscosity (as determined by temperature).
One of the appropriate markets for recycling condensation polymers (polyester, polycarbonate, polyamide) is the coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers market (CASE), where many of the useful components for high performance already rely on varying levels of condensation polymers.
UV LED cure is becoming more and more prevalent in several converting areas. UV-curable inkjet has used UV LED cure for pinning for many years. Acrylated amines can be used to either increase UV LED cure speed at existing PI concentrations, or maintain UV LED cure speed at reduced PI concentrations.
The Multi-Shot Pyrolyzer provides many advantages and immediate quality improvements in a coatings laboratory. Virtually any material (liquid or solid) can be chemically characterized using this technique.
