How environmental weathering generates microplastics and nanoplastics, their human exposure and toxicokinetics and the regulatory responses shaping sustainability.
Microplastics and nanoplastics arise from polymer degradation and product use, influencing human exposure, toxicology and emerging regulations tied to sustainability goals.
A study by the University of Missouri reveals how plastic-coated fertilizers release microplastics into soil, raising concerns about long-term environmental and health risks.
Paint and coatings contribute to global health in many unseen ways, like reducing the risk of infection, keeping our food supply chain safer, giving us more time to escape a fire, and eliminating exposure to dangerous materials. Get the details in this installment of our new Innovation Insights column.
Under the partnership agreement, KRAHN Italia becomes the exclusive distributor for SONGWON's BU Coatings range of SONGNOX® CS anti-oxidants, UV absorbers, and HALS products in Italy as of July 1, 2023.
The group reported a strong first six months before overall demand began weakening in the third quarter as product availability grew and customers’ destocking activities increased in response to declining raw material costs.
Formulations are sometimes adjusted by fine-tuning various additives, including antioxidants and light stabilizers, which provide different thermal and light stabilization properties. It is very important to find the best combination of additives to achieve the necessary performance, especially if the final substrate or area to be powder coated requires specific durability or heat resistance.
