Developments in the area of information and communication technology are creating considerable potential and acting as a catalyst for innovations in automation, machinery and application systems.
In this two-part series, we explore how this carefully crafted design of experiments (DOE) isolated and contrasted the impact and interaction of three key process variables: film build; atomization, and coating viscosity (as determined by temperature).
In this research, newly designed multifunctional polyol systems based on a polycarbonate structure and advanced polyisocyanate systems as crosslinkers were investigated in order to improve chemical resistance of coatings.
This study has shown that DMMOPA has a unique combination of balanced physical properties. These physical properties offered DMMOPA-neutralized paints a multitude of performance advantages in a variety of waterborne paint systems as discussed in this article, such as enhanced hardness and solvent resistance in polyol-MF baking coatings, as well as better gloss, scrub resistance, water resistance and corrosion resistance in latex paints.
Sirrus Inc., a developer of next-generation crosslinking platforms for coatings and adhesives, has entered into a joint development agreement with BASF's Coatings Division.
After 15 years of development and countless hours of collaboration across a number of experts, this group of researchers was finally able to crack the code on structural color to develop "omnidirectional" structural color that does not change when viewed from different angles.
