A leading paint company discusses how they identify color trends and translate them into relevant color palettes and products that meet customers’ needs.
Each year, over 30 of PPG’s global color experts from 11 different countries come together to share emerging trends from their regions and business unit sectors. These insights are gleaned through attending local design shows and keeping a finger on the pulse of runway and architecture trends, as well as lifestyle directions, demographic changes, societal, and other macroeconomic influences rising to prominence on a regional level.
Best practices when selecting rheological additives are discussed in this article. The article explains that properly prepared technical materials are the basis for a quick and efficient start of tests and drawing conclusions based on repeated case studies in specific paint manufacturer formulations.
As a stabilizer and secondary rheology modifier, colloidal MCC provided minimum viscosity to waterborne coating systems at low use level while significantly improving in-can shelf stability and color-tinting ability.
Spherical precipitated silica particles can dramatically improve wet scrub resistance, as well as burnish resistance, of interior architectural paints. These unique particles prove useful tools that can be leveraged alone or in combination with one or more other fillers to formulate high quality yet cost effective interior architectural coatings.
Applied Graphene Materials (AGM) has published data to demonstrate that its graphene nanoplatelet dispersions can enable high-performance paints and coatings to effectively protect a substrate against harsh chemicals in highly aggressive environments.
Humidity is one of the greatest impediments to achieving high-performance and consistent paint and coating applications. Here's a look at how humidity impacts surface preparation and coating quality and what you can do to alleviate that impact.
