ON DEMAND Viscosity and film thickness are crucial factors in any coating system. Ensuring that these variables are within spec ensures that the coating will perform properly and look good, while preventing cost overruns. The Paul N. Gardner Company is the leading expert in providing equipment for measuring viscosity and film thickness.

On Demand Black is more than a fascinating color. It is a fashion statement, a cultural symbol, a design element... Just as diverse is the appearance of black: black is not just black! To measure the degree of blackness and its bluish or brownish undertone pushes the technical performance of a handheld spectrophotometer to its extreme limits. As the amount of reflected light becomes smaller and smaller the measuring accuracy becomes essential for meaningful results.

On Demand The new Tolonate™ X F 450 has been specifically designed by Vencorex to provide elasticity to your coatings while maintaining high hardness. It is especially suitable for fast drying formulations like aliphatic polyureas and polyaspartics, where it will overcome their brittleness and provide extended pot-life.

On Demand The starting point in developing a paint formulation that will appeal to dynamic consumer demands is critical for eventual commercial viability of new products. Join Clariant’s coating team of Matt Crotty and Marc Chan as they review step by step the pathways taken to recommend formulation guidelines in low and high PVC systems. Marc and Matt will showcase their commercial and technical perspectives in bringing innovation, performance, and sustainability to the market “Beyond Color”.

On Demand Optimal pigment wetting and dispersions go beyond selection criteria. Often, external factors impede the performance of the coating leading to the need to troubleshoot the problem. Understanding the variables that are within the control of the formulator and what small tweaks have the greatest impact without sacrificing color, gloss, transparency, or hide are the real challenges.

On Demand Learn about new innovations in production dispersing and milling technologies to help with the challenges of the production environment.

On Demand During this webinar, we’ll demonstrate the capabilities of micro-furnace pyrolysis-GC/MS and its versatility for reverse engineering, product development, and failure mechanisms of various polymers.
