If these specifications are followed, replicable measurements of deep-black coatings are possible and information about the blackness/jetness MY and undertone dM can be obtained.
This new technology allows the chemist the freedom to better tailor the formulation to the needs of the final application while optimizing the time, cost and performance achieved with various production methods of irradiation curing.
This technology showed a large effect on the dirt-pickup resistance, even at Tgs as low as -26 °C, requiring no formulation modification compared to an unmodified formula.
By keeping all the components of your UV curing system clean, cool and maintained, you can expect uniform and consistent cures, fewer issues, reduced scrap and happy customers.
This article demonstrates how to maximize the performance of waterborne acrylic metal coatings using amino alcohols as highly efficient dispersants for pigments.
While society remains years away from fully autonomous or self-driving cars, the paint and coatings industry is stepping up to best prepare customers for mobility's future.
Salt ions affect the thickness of the "double layer" around the particles. As the double layer shrinks, the latex particles can move around more easily, and the result is a lower viscosity latex.
We are convinced that only companies that act responsibly will create value for society. On COATINO, you can now find our products with a clearly positive sustainability profile. These are our Next Generation Solutions.
