This article discusses relating the colloidal stability of latexes to the ionic strength of the aqueous phase via the “critical coagulation concentration.
What caused the hexagonal pattern to form on the surface of a modified formulation with more solvent? Read Moody’s Coatings Conundrums to learn more about this formulating challenge.
This article discusses some of the terms and calculations related to pigments used in coatings, including oil absorption/surface area; pigment volume concentration; and pigment to binder ratio.
PVF technology is the basis of the next generation of protective metal coatings, meeting the needs of demanding environments with best-in-class aesthetic and protective functionality.
When a global producer of industrial coating resins and additives sought to upgrade its aging Distributed Control System (DCS), the solution involved utilizing a flexible, reliable, modern DCS that could be quickly integrated with existing production.
Using recycled paint donated by GDB and Amazon, PSI partnered directly with local governments, the state government and local nonprofits to establish demonstration sites in Missouri that showcased the high quality, low cost and sustainability of recycled paint.
High-speed planting methods have fueled demand for seed-flow lubricants. These formulations improve seed planting by reducing static electricity and/or moisture that causes the seeds to 'bridge'.
