The specific properties of graphene nanotubes that enable them to enhance different types of industrial coatings are explored.

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.

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.

This article reports on the use of a novel curing agent, accompanied with liquid epoxy resin, in a clear-coating formulation.

Learn about the latest antimicrobial/antiviral coatings innovations, how these products are tested and how long they are effective.

Graphene nanotubes introduced into a polyurethane coating facilitate an anti-dust effect on artificial leather car seats while preserving mechanical properties.

In recent years, a relatively new innovation added to the marine coatings technology toolbox has been shaking things up and gaining some serious traction in the maritime industry.

A new label-free additive meets the demand for different gloss values in powder coatings, and is available to manufacturers as well as to coaters, directly on the line.

Over my 33 year career (so far) in organomodified silicones, customers have occasionally asked me for green, natural or sustainable products. The early requests were infrequent, usually for very specific circumstances, and somewhat vague with the askers often uncertain what their choice of terminology meant. 

A main theme at the ACS was sustainability and the circular economy. This article provides a snapshot of just some of the technology that PCI learned about.
