The new era of hard foul release marine coatings can maintain an optimal CII rating for vessel owners through superior mechanical properties and the ability to maintain low hull roughness and skin-friction drag.
A unique compound based on a new self-matting PU dispersion (PUD) offers excellent physical and chemical performance. This PUD is optimized to meet the latest requirements for anti-soiling and coffee stain resistance for automotive interior finishes.
I have a technical question to ask. I hope you have the answer. I read some non-technical articles mentioning powder coatings used on wood. How is this possible when wood is a non-magnetic material?
This edition of Distributor Dive, a new quarterly column written by the NACD, comments on the potential impacts of a divided Congress on the paint and coatings industry and its supply chain partners, including chemical distributors.
Moving to more environmentally benign monomers is essential for the continuation of a highly beneficial relationship with polymers. This shift creates an opportunity to simultaneously access new property profiles. New polyols synthesized using a high-purity isosorbide illustrate what is possible.
Learn how one company transforms reclaimed materials into highly valuable, non-toxic, sustainable, recyclable, and price-competitive binders for use in paints, coatings, adhesives, and flooring products.
One metals technology company is commercializing innovative titanium mineral-enrichment technologies that upgrade ilmenite minerals into a high-grade TiO2 synthetic rutile product, with fewer carbon emissions than current industry processes.
In an interview with PCI Magazine, Leland Harrs, managing director, head of chemicals, at Houlihan Lokey, offers a brief update on the current M&A market.

Epoxy resins are widely used in coatings thanks to their excellent adhesion to materials and their durability. However, epoxy resins typically contain aromatic groups with strong absorption in the UV range. This makes epoxy structures vulnerable to UV degradation. The performance of one company’s stabilizers in a typical commercial epoxy resin with hardeners are tested and reviewed in this article.
