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.
As the largest Sherwin-Williams Aerospace distributor, one of the best ways that Blend Supply serves industry partners is through custom color matching. Christopher Cummings, Master Color Matcher, is in charge of all color matches, and fields all color application questions. He describes his process in this article.
The new water-based additives and stabilization packages are designed to combine the efficiency of conventional products with the benefits of water miscibility and low to zero volatile organic compound (VOC) generation, as well as easy dosing and handling.
Finding the right collaboration partner, vetting their technology and working to secure a technology solution for your business is a process that requires special expertise.
This article addresses the need for a sustainable culture within the paint and coatings industry that redirects waste and unused items back into the manufacturing and production cycles. We will focus on the importance of contemplating waste creation in different stages of paint manufacturing, and disposal and methods of putting discarded paint waste to use in the development of new products instead of in landfills and through burial.
Eddyfi Technologies' world headquarters building is a model of contemporary architecture, biophilic design and sustainable materials – from the generous application of locally sourced wood and use of large, triple-glazed windows, to the selection of solvent-free PPG Coraflon coatings to protect and embellish its muted aluminum cladding.
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.
This article provides a brief overview of patents, trade secrets, and an in-depth discussion of infrequently used procedural options available at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) that can be leveraged to gather critical information and thereby enable a decision maker to confidently elect to either apply for a patent or maintain a trade secret.
Hydrophobing agents, also known as hydrophobic agents, are prominently used to minimize water absorption and ensure a water-repellent effect on cleaned surfaces. These compounds find use across a wide range of applications, from surface protection of critical infrastructure and automobiles to designing stain-repellant textiles.
