A new thermal additive enhances energy efficiency and fire resistance, reducing heat absorption, improving emissivity, and meeting stringent environmental and building performance standards.
For those looking to replace PFAS in their coatings formulations, this article discusses some experiments and data that show how organosilicones compare to PFAS compounds in critical performance criteria such as low surface tension/surface energy, COF, water repellency, oil repellency, stain resistance, and chemical stability.
Over my 33 year career (so far) in organomodified silicones, customers have occasionally asked me for green, natural or sustainable products. The early requests were infrequent, usually for very specific circumstances, and somewhat vague with the askers often uncertain what their choice of terminology meant.
Elkem recently announced a strategic investment plan to unlock new specialty silicones supply for customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and the Americas.
AB Specialty Silicones, Waukegan, Illinois, has completed a plant expansion in a continuing effort to meet the growing needs of the silicone marketplace.
An innovative silicon nitride coating for ceramic components is now available from Morgan Advanced Materials, across a variety of its oxide and non-oxide ceramic materials.
SiVance LLC, a subsidiary of Milliken & Co., has opened a new 11,000-square-foot research and development (R&D) laboratory on the company’s R&D and manufacturing campus in Gainesville, FL.
