Concrete coatings present unique challenges due to the substrate's variability, requiring precise preparation and coatings with specific performance properties for durability and aesthetics.
In an attempt to improve the quality and performance of a matt paint without detriment to wet hide, a TiO2/PCC composite pigment with optimally spaced TiO2 can increase the scatter per unit TiO2, as well as the dry opactiy.
Co-solvent choice is a significant challenge faced by waterborne coatings formulators, and its influence on early hardness development and early water resistance is often overlooked.
PCI’s “Did You Know” column has published a wealth of information about redox chemistries for use in emulsion polymerizations. This edition, the third in a series, focuses on its use in aqueous-based polymer dispersions.
This article, the fourth in a series, covers work done to improve the water resistance of water-based emulsions by replacing conventional emulsion surfactants with surfactants that will react into the polymer matrix.
