Troysol™ Z372 is a high-performance universal mar and slip additive that improves the wetting of low-surface-energy and contaminated substrates, resulting in uniform film coverage.

In this article, we evaluate how silicone additives can be used beyond the traditional benefits, and demonstrate how these additives can bring added performance in titanium dioxide-based formulations to prevent this age-old problem.

Performance requirements for carbon black pigments are increasingly important in the development of advanced coating, ink and polymer formulations as the need for more eco-friendly products grows.

Coating additives belong to a broad and diffuse category of key components in a coating formulation.

To comply with VOC regulations, coatings manufacturers have gradually moved away from conventional low-solids, solventborne systems to several emerging technologies, which include high-solids, UV, powder, waterborne and solvent-free systems.1-3

An interview with Richard Jenkins, Global Group President for Arkema Coating Resins.

Driers as paint additives are commonly used to promote curing of alkyd solventborne and waterborne coatings.

This paper describes the controlled release of IPBC (3-iodo-2-propynyl butylcarbamate) through encapsulation.

This article discusses the three types of OPVs and emphasizes the use of cellulose esters as additives to improve flow and leveling, and in many cases adhesion.

Predispersed nanoparticles can be very beneficial to the life cycle of coatings.
