To design an emulsion polymer with improved and balanced performance in the interior paint segment, Arkema has identified both polymer and formulation drivers to improve three performance targets
WACKER's International Press Workshop focused on the role of the company's construction chemicals in residential buildings and tomorrow's megacities, including energy-efficient building, enhanced protection of cement and concrete, and solutions for sustainable construction techniques.
Lindsay Doyle's lube emulsion and her customer's acrylic dispersion both crashed and separated like curdled milk. What had caused both systems to crash, and how were the causes related?
Polly Mertz's first scale-up of a new emulsion polymer had resulted in the contents boiling out of a 500-gallon reactor. What had gone wrong in the acrylic emulsion production batch?
Polly sat in the lab trying to determine what had botched her reaction. Something in the scale-up had gone terribly wrong, and she needed to find the problem before trying the scale-up again.
