Researchers working at NanoQAM, the nanotechnology research centre of the University of Quebec (Montreal, Canada), are successfully innovating novel polymer coatings on the basis of data measured using a Viscotek high-temperature gel permeation chromatography (HT-GPC) system from Malvern Instruments.

This new water-based barrier coating product line  provides a significant advance in the performance of water-based high barrier nanocomposite coatings.

A revolutionary new resin that offers notably higher pigment binding efficiency, higher pigment loadings and a reduction of TiO2 pigments without sacrificing dry time performance or properties such as hiding, visibility, durability, sprayability or stability.

To create these aged looks, prepainted steel or aluminum is formed into panels or tiles coated with realistic colors and prints.

Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), Taiwan’s largest and one of the world’s leading high-tech research and development institutions, has introduced Reddex, a non-toxic, fire-resistant composite material technology that simultaneously offers

Dow Coating Materials (DCM), a global business unit of The Dow Chemical Company, announces a new addition to its product line of APEO-free surfactants.

Pull-off adhesion testing was carried out to determine the adhesion of a solvent-free, two-component epoxy coating to a substrate when applied by plural airless spray and by hand.

One way to anticipate and address emerging market trends is through open innovation, and selecting the right partners for this innovation is crucial to one’s success.
