LUXAN effect pigments belong to the group of pearlescent effect pigments that are composed of low refractive transparent substrates coated with high refractive metal oxides, e.g., titanium dioxide or iron oxide.

Newer ultrafine nepheline syenite sizes have refractive index and physical properties that are particularly well suited for use as a performance additive in radiation-curable coatings, inks and adhesives.

RHOPLEX EC-3100 is an all-acrylic polymer designed primarily for use in pigmented elastomeric basecoats to provide adhesion to weathered TPO roofing membranes.

This article highlights a new cobalt-free catalyst that helps to achieve the necessary cure time as well as improve properties associated with water-based, high solids alkyds and alkyd-modified resins.

This article focuses on matting agents based on SiO2 from precipitated and gel processes, which are marketed specifically for the UV coatings segment.

The rheology of the coating plays a critical role in the actual process of applying the coating to the substrate. 

The commercial availability of LALS detectors allows GPC practitioners to measure the molecular weight of a sample with certainty, avoiding any issues of data extrapolation or data fitting. 

This article focuses on two marine coating applications.
