New solution for long-time customer also helps improve finish quality, on-time delivery.

Formulations are sometimes adjusted by fine-tuning various additives, including antioxidants and light stabilizers, which provide different thermal and light stabilization properties. It is very important to find the best combination of additives to achieve the necessary performance, especially if the final substrate or area to be powder coated requires specific durability or heat resistance.

This innovative new series of poly-Mannich epoxy curing agents is formulated to offer a reduced hazard rating and variable reactivity inclusive of slow, medium and outstanding speed of cure.

Fibrillated cellulose is a 100%-natural, biodegradable and sustainable material. It performs as a multi-functional stabilizer with low impact on viscosity in a wide range of coatings applications, as well as supporting a more sustainable lifecycle.

A good primer is an excellent key to a successful coatings system - especially when corrosion protection of metals is at stake. This high performance, water-based epoxy primer maximizes durability and corrosion inhibition.

Automotive technology makes cars safer, more capable and increasingly enjoyable to drive. However, the impact of high-tech coatings often gets overlooked as an instrumental part of helping make such advancements happen. Here's a look at some of the coating innovations you should know about that push automotive progress forward.

The article covers how to select the correct intumescent coating systems to use in different areas of the building and why you rarely will have a “one size fits all” solution.

The coating technology discussed in this article is a 100%-waterborne, high-ratio zinc silicate. When used as a single-coat system – or when complemented with a topcoat for aesthetics – the product delivers superior and complete corrosion-prevention benefits that are unmatched when compared to other "IOZ" systems used in the marine environment.

This article examines the environmental benefits of long-life coatings, including a comparison study of the carbon footprint of a fluoropolymer powder coating versus a solvent-based coating.

Clariant has utilized its global network of chemists and product experts to drive the development of a better colorant solution for use in industrial coatings.
