NANOBYK®-3630 contains boehmite nanoparticles for solventborne and high-solid architectural coatings. It provides excellent scratch resistance, high gloss and transparency.
Malvern Instruments Ltd., Malvern, UK, has acquired nanoparticle characterization company NanoSight Ltd., Amesbury, UK. The acquisition was completed on September 27, 2013.
The unsurpassed brilliance, pronounced flop effect, gloss and opacity of vacuum metalized aluminum pigments allows coatings formulators to produce dynamic chrome effects.
Independent corrosion tests have shown this is a successful conductive polymer-based anti-corrosion coating technology and the first non-chromate coating that has out-performed hexavalent chromate coatings.
New products are being developed to meet the challenge of delivering low- and zero-VOC offerings, including specialty resins, coalescents/plasticizers, water-based and energy curable colorants, foam control and silicone products.
Iranian researchers from the Institute for Color Science and Technology have produced a new type of coating that exhibits anticorrosion properties by using zinc oxide nanoparticles.
