It is essential to use an anti-foaming agent that allows optimal control of foam formation during production stages and keeps its properties during storage.
In this article, we discuss the design of self-healing functionality into silicone-based protective materials to improve their ability to maintain adhesion after damage.
By employing a bottom-up approach that includes the appropriate choice of wax chemistry (and therefore target physical properties), consideration of the migration ability of the wax (usually related to particle density), and proper testing to prove important surface properties such as scratch resistance, one can indeed successfully use waxes for cost efficiency and targeted performance in coatings.
Saul Vance's boss was telling him that the formulation that Saul had developed and tested was being pulled from the market, and Saul can't understand why. Find out was the formulation pulled from the market, and why a change in solvent make the formulation no longer sellable, even though the properties were so similar.
