Moody’s Coating Conundrums
%{topic} RSS FeedCreate Account

“Moody’s Coatings Conundrums” reflects the style of NPR’s classic weekly auto mechanic radio talk show, “Car Talk”, with hosts Click and Clack. While the subject of “Car Talk” was automobiles and auto repair, “Moody’s Coatings Conundrums” targets coatings science, and the many problems that formulators face. This is meant to be an interactive column, so please leave your feedback in the comment section on how to solve these issues!

Silanes Innovations in Polyaspartic Coatings Modification

In this webinar, we will demonstrate how silane and silicone technologies can modify polyaspartic chemistries to increase performance characteristics of traditional metal coating finishes. In particular, we will highlight technical capabilities of glycolic silane technology that can enable coating system formulations to be virtually free of latent alcohol or other VOC emissions.

Alternatives to Fluorosurfactants in Paints and Coatings

This webinar will discuss the different chemistries of fluorosurfactants and other additives and how this affects their performance in coatings. Fluorosurfactants are multifunctional and direct one-for-one replacement is rarely possible, but careful selection of additive combinations can achieve comparable performance in different coatings formulations.
