Modern distribution is not just about trucks, tank cars and warehouses, but technical support, regulatory assistance and other services that allow both suppliers and customers to focus on what they are really good at.
Retailer paint can labels are used not only for inventory management with SKU, barcode, product name, order number and a variety of variable data, but also to convey the paint’s exact color formulation.
The commercial success of silicone resins in the field of high-temperature-resistant coatings is based on their special properties. Alongside the classic heat-curing systems, ambient-curing systems are enjoying ever greater success.
While paint and coatings manufacturers continue to compete to formulate products with the lowest volatile organic compound content possible, metal packaging manufacturers are vying for the highest UN-rated steel pails within the metal packaging industry.
Through the use of designed particle morphology and process conditions a latex has been developed that can be formulated into a coating without the use of coalescing solvents that gives excellent corrosion resistance, adhesion to steel, and still is hard enough to give good block resistance and dirt pickup resistance.
The corrosion protection provided by DTM coatings has improved with advances in binder technology; however, when formulating a waterborne DTM every component of the formula contributes to the corrosion performance.
This article highlights Benda-Lutz® COMPAL WS, a new range of nonhazardous, aluminum pigment concentrates designed specifically for long-term stability in waterborne coatings and inks.
Polyaspartics offer specifiers, contractors and facility owners adjustable cure times for faster return to service, thick, high-build finishes, ultralow VOCs and low-odor systems that are not greatly impacted by ambient temperature.
In order to affect true change, we must develop products that touch on several of the change drivers, including regulatory issues, total cost of painting and performance
ED pigments offer paint manufacturers best-in-class performance in both waterborne and solventborne applications while reducing production time, saving money and decreasing energy consumption.
