    Application Analysis of Colloidal Attapulgite Clay in Refractory Materials

    Hermann Di Jeason Fan Ningsheng Zhou PhD
    September 12, 2023
    No Comments

    In current practical applications, the classification of attapulgite clay is mainly based on its functions and uses. Colloidal attapulgite clay, combined with other soft clays and suitable additives, can be used in thin-layer coatings such as EPC coatings for casting, anti-corrosion coatings at certain high temperatures, insulation coatings, and anti-oxidation coatings.

    The ‘Invisible’ Cellulose Coatings that Mitigate Surface Transmission of Pathogens

    University of Birmingham, Cambridge
    August 9, 2023
    One Comment

    Research has shown that a thin cellulose film can inactivate the SARS-CoV-2 virus within minutes, inhibit the growth of bacteria including E.coli, and mitigate contact transfer of pathogens. The coating is invisible to the naked eye, and is abrasion resistant under dry conditions, making it suitable for use on high-traffic objects such as door handles and handrails.

    A Close Shave

    New PFAS-Free Alternatives to PTFE Surface Lubricating Coatings for Razor Blades Could Mean Great Shaving and a Better
    Qian He Eric Hanson Edward Hughes
    August 7, 2023
    No Comments

    Lubricating coatings on razor blades are thin films that reduce friction between the blade and the skin during shaving and reduce the force required to cut hair. A new class of nanoscale surface treatments are very promising candidates for replacing PTFE on cutting edges, and can provide good cutting performance and durability, while reducing the potential risks to the environment and human health.

    The Effect of Microfibrillated Cellulose

    On Mechanical Properties, Water Absorption, and Adhesion of Acrylic Elastomeric Waterproofing Coatings
    Otto Soidinsalo Harrison Christopher Gallantree-Smith Scott Mouw
    August 2, 2023
    No Comments

    Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC), a bio-based and multi-functional product made of cellulose, is a new alternative to traditional thickeners. Learn how MFC increases the tensile strength of elastomeric acrylic roof coatings without sacrificing the elongation, and how it reduces the water absorption, as well as increases the adhesion of coatings.
