PCI's March issue includes a special feature on paint recycling. Other articles cover biobased polymer coatings, using hard minerals to enhance powder coating performance, antimicrobial coatings, and an outlook on the chemical industry.
This study examines the effect that white fused alumina, nepheline syenite and silicon carbide have on the abrasion resistance of a powder coating system.
This study aims to quantify the impact of enzymatically produced alpha-1,3 polyglucose of different morphologies on the performance of water-based PUDs.
This two-part series examines the challenges experienced in the coatings and adhesives industries since the onset of COVID-19, and offers a look to the future.
Reactsurf® 0092 is an alkylphenol ethoxylate (APE)-free and non-ionic reactive water-based emulsifier for solid epoxy resins mainly for use in industrial coatings or binders.
GemaConnect® provides users with full visibility of the current status and key performance indicators (KPIs) of their powder coating equipment, regardless of location or time.
Resins and additives provider, allnex, has expanded its sustainable product portfolio, ECOWISE™ CHOICE, with products for packaging and ink applications.
VersaMix Model VM-600 is a 600-gal capacity, dual-shaft mixer designed for deep vacuum levels. The VM-600 creates a powerful suction that draws solids sub-surface, directly into the high-shear zone, minimizing agglomeration, floating powders and dusting.
The NatureShield® line of bio-based surface modifiers includes various environmentally friendly emulsions, dispersions and natural oil blends designed to improve the weatherability of exterior surface coatings by providing water resistance and water bead to wood and concrete.
CERAFLOUR 1001 and CERAFLOUR 1002 offer outstanding matting and surface protection in aqueous, solventborne and solvent-free UV coatings and printing inks, while maintaining high transparency.
A recent visit to a paint recycling company gave PCI an in-depth view into the scale and importance of the planet-saving benefits that paint recycling brings.
