A sea-urchin-like bismuth sulfide pigment combines ultra-low visible reflectance, near-zero gloss and selective near-infrared reflectance in thin coatings.

This study evaluates how open time extending additives influence open time, wet edge, viscosity, gloss and blocking across architectural and wood coatings.

This article explores surface testing methods to ensure color consistency, gloss and appearance in modern automotive interior coatings.

The Aesthetix tool offers a comprehensive analysis of surface characteristics, including gloss, texture and color.

Custom test methods, tailored to field conditions, address limitations of standardized tests, improving coating performance with practical solutions for real-world applications.

This study comprehensively evaluated novel, ultra-low-VOC 1K and 2K waterborne floor-coating systems designed to provide eco-friendly, lower-VOC alternatives to traditional solvent-based coatings. The materials employed in these innovative systems showed remarkable performance when subjected to industry-standard tests.

Abrasion is one of the most important defects that deteriorates the durability of coatings. The goal of the research presented in this article was to achieve a good understanding of the effects of coating additives on the abrasion resistance of waterborne coatings.

The new product includes an integrated 60-degree gloss sensor that simultaneously measures color and true gloss. 

The Rhopoint IQ-S can achieve maximum accuracy and resolution for gloss measurements.
