Best practices when selecting rheological additives are discussed in this article. The article explains that properly prepared technical materials are the basis for a quick and efficient start of tests and drawing conclusions based on repeated case studies in specific paint manufacturer formulations.
This article introduces two methods to produce high-performance, solvent-free waterborne acrylic polyols using glycidyl neodecanoate or its acrylated adduct.
The effects of different particle sizes, forms, and loading levels of carbon black on colorimetric properties in powder coating resin systems are investigated.
As a stabilizer and secondary rheology modifier, colloidal MCC provided minimum viscosity to waterborne coating systems at low use level while significantly improving in-can shelf stability and color-tinting ability.
Spherical precipitated silica particles can dramatically improve wet scrub resistance, as well as burnish resistance, of interior architectural paints. These unique particles prove useful tools that can be leveraged alone or in combination with one or more other fillers to formulate high quality yet cost effective interior architectural coatings.
Pilot Chemical, a privately owned global specialty chemical company, provides high quality products to the Paints & Coatings and Adhesives & Sealants industries.
What caused the hexagonal pattern to form on the surface of a modified formulation with more solvent? Read Moody’s Coatings Conundrums to learn more about this formulating challenge.
The CM-26dG portable sphere spectrophotometer comes with an integrated 60° gloss sensor, allowing for distinct color and appearance measurements within one instrument.
