This month’s Formulating with Mike columncontinues the focus on resins and discusses acrylic emulsion polymerization, in particular, surfactant design and how it affects the polymerization of a vinyl-acrylic emulsion.
This month’s Formulating with Mike column covers the life cycle assessment of alkyd emulsions and concludes the four-part series on alkyd emulsification.
Abrasion is one of the most important defects that deteriorates the durability of coatings. The goal of the research presented in this article was to achieve a good understanding of the effects of coating additives on the abrasion resistance of waterborne coatings.
Semibatch emulsion polymerizations are predominately run in “starve-fed” mode, but what does that really mean? In this edition of PCI’s Did You Know column, EPCEd discusses the reasons to run in starve-fed mode, and more.
This month’s Formulating with Mike column is the conclusion to a three-part series, and covers the emulsification process as well as test data of alkyd emulsions.
Dunn-Edwards discovered how to optimize its eco-efficient paint-manufacturing operation by upgrading to AODD pumps, resulting in reduced downtime and an optimized paint-manufacturing operation.
Since its formation in 2013, the company has been building a portfolio of solutions to serve the apparel, textiles, packaging, paper, coatings, and adhesives and sealants markets.
With a unique polymer architecture and innovative crosslinking capabilities, JONCRYL 541 is an acrylic polymer emulsion used in ultra-low-VOC coating formulations to provide high gloss retention and early hardness development while minimizing costs.
