ROSS offers a line of dual shaft mixers that can be used to batch dispersions, suspensions, and emulsions with viscosities up to several hundred-thousand centipoise – like the custom-built ROSS FDA-3500. This multi-agitator system is equipped with independently controlled drives, and is efficient at producing good turnover and imparting shear to a viscous batch.

The five-gallon mixer is ideal for use in product development labs or production environments, across a wide range of applications, including viscous printing inks or dispersions, drywall mud, and lower viscosity materials like paint.

The tester can be used in automotive materials, building and construction, paint and coatings, plastics and polymers, and composites applications. As a screening tool, the tester can generate five years of UV exposure in 10 days, which would both save money on R&D, and cut time to market for new products.

Spherical silica EXP 0002-1 is characterized by a particularly small particle size, and is suitable for architectural paints, as well as waterborne, deep-matte, and silk-gloss wood coatings. The silica helps extend the durability of a coating by improving its scratch and abrasion resistance. At the same time, the silica provides a matte or silk-gloss appearance to meet customers' aesthetic requirements.

The first two products in the new Ti-Pure™ Sustainability series include Ti-Pure TS-6300 and Ti-Pure TS-6200. Both are existing grades specifically designed to empower coatings formulators to create high-quality, long-lasting products that reduce material consumption and CO2 emissions.

With five different versions of the EcoPump2 VP covering a pressure range from 22 to 306 bar, the pump is suitable for applying paints, high-viscosity materials, and adhesives to furniture, steel constructions, and others. It can also handle acidic hardeners commonly used in the 2K process in the North American market without difficulty.

Used as part of a digital workflow, the Ci7830 and Ci7630 can deliver the measurement precision required to communicate, share, and coordinate color-critical values and specifications across the supply chain. Both instruments bring a level of reliability, traceability, and accuracy to the digital color workflow.

Konica Minolta’s CM-M6 is a portable, multi-angle spectrophotometer for measuring metallic, pearlescent, and other complex automotive paints that uses a patented double-path illumination system, with directed 45° illumination, and six-angle observation, from two sides, to accurately measure painted parts on the automotive production floor.

The benefits of replacing paint lines with paint film systems have been recognized earlier, but difficult to implement due to the infrastructure for traditional paint already in place. Now, with new plants being built to manufacture electric vehicles and greater emphasis on sustainability, paint film systems are becoming more realistic alternatives to paint lines.

TEGO^® Powder Aid D01 makes the formulation easier to disperse during extrusion by promoting pigment wetting, and effectively reducing melt viscosity. The lower melt viscosity also leads to better degassing, which aids flow and leveling as the formulation cures and prevents pinholes in the coating.
