To design an emulsion polymer with improved and balanced performance in the interior paint segment, Arkema has identified both polymer and formulation drivers to improve three performance targets

FEVE powder-based topcoats can provide weatherability, corrosion resistance and environmental benefits when used in exterior architectural coatings applications.

A novel powder coating technology using hydroxyalkylamide is pre¬sented in this article for robust manufacturing and processing efficiency using a single resin system.

By incorporating a specialty amine-functional silane oligomer into existing waterborne silane pretreatments, the need for an elevated curing temperature is effectively eliminated, opening the door to this type of environmentally friendly technology to industries and markets that were previously restricted by this elevated-temperature curing requirement.

Whatever your reasons for varying the monomer feed rates, be aware that there may be unintended effects; in addition to the desired outcome, some product properties may also change.

The focus of this article is to understand and evaluate the use of novel acrylated amine oligomers to address curing deficiencies in UV LED-cured systems.

Why did replacing the ester alcohol with a less volatile ester solvent cause the e-coat tank to now be out of specification? What had been wrong with Lindsey’s recommendation?

Because of the performance capabilities of the new water-based acrylic polymer primers and their applicability to nearly all substrates, paint manufacturers have an opportunity to consolidate their primer inventory and provide their customers with a solution for the most challenging corrosive environments.

WACKER's International Press Workshop focused on the role of the company's construction chemicals in residential buildings and tomorrow's megacities, including energy-efficient building, enhanced protection of cement and concrete, and solutions for sustainable construction techniques.
