Colortrend USA LLC has developed Chroma-Chem® 846, a lower-VOC line of non-aqueous colorants for use in solventborne industrial applications.

This article highlights a new cobalt-free catalyst that helps to achieve the necessary cure time as well as improve properties associated with water-based, high solids alkyds and alkyd-modified resins.

This paper will review the current use of silica nanoparticles in UV-curable coatings and introduce effective approaches for delivering silica nanoparticles to UV-curable resin formulations without the drawbacks of current solvent- or monomer-based silica nanoparticle dispersions.

The design of a successful multipurpose solventborne colourant demands a deep knowledge of the wide array of possible raw materials that can be utilized to make them.
