PCI’s September issue features information on new additive technology for architectural coatings, coloristic performance of carbon black in powder coatings, inventive routes for preparing waterborne acrylic polyols, recycled paint, and much more.
I am new to powder coating technology. I was reading an on-line article on polyester powder coatings, and I see your name is mentioned in the article. My question is: Is TGIC powder coating safe?
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.
Spherical precipitated silica particles can dramatically improve wet scrub resistance, as well as burnish resistance, of interior architectural paints. These unique particles prove useful tools that can be leveraged alone or in combination with one or more other fillers to formulate high quality yet cost effective interior architectural coatings.
As a stabilizer and secondary rheology modifier, colloidal MCC provided minimum viscosity to waterborne coating systems at low use level while significantly improving in-can shelf stability and color-tinting ability.
The effects of different particle sizes, forms, and loading levels of carbon black on colorimetric properties in powder coating resin systems are investigated.
This article introduces two methods to produce high-performance, solvent-free waterborne acrylic polyols using glycidyl neodecanoate or its acrylated adduct.
Best practices when selecting rheological additives are discussed in this article. The article explains that properly prepared technical materials are the basis for a quick and efficient start of tests and drawing conclusions based on repeated case studies in specific paint manufacturer formulations.
PCI recently visited Wacker Chemical Corp’s new Innovation Center and Regional Headquarters in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Read more to learn about the trip and the new facility.
