Honeywell announced that it has purchased Evonik Industries’ portfolio of manufacturing technology, including patents, for the production of polyethylene waxes used in a variety of applications, from paint and coatings to adhesives and inks.
The growth today in waterborne and radiation-cured coatings and inks far exceeds that of its solventborne equivalents. The need for lower VOCs, “greener” materials, improved food safety and reduced economics
This article presents three separate types of polymeric dispersants that enable the formulator to create dispersions that utilize the properties of pigments to their upper limit.
LUXAN effect pigments belong to the group of pearlescent effect pigments that are composed of low refractive transparent substrates coated with high refractive metal oxides, e.g., titanium dioxide or iron oxide.
Newer ultrafine nepheline syenite sizes have refractive index and physical properties that are particularly well suited for use as a performance additive in radiation-curable coatings, inks and adhesives.
This article highlights a new cobalt-free catalyst that helps to achieve the necessary cure time as well as improve properties associated with water-based, high solids alkyds and alkyd-modified resins.
