Independent of industry, the protective nanocoatings marketplace growth potential is considerable, as protecting electronics becomes increasingly challenging as devices shrink.
When it comes to tackling reinforcement surface prep and ongoing protection, this rust primer stands out among competitor materials with clear performance and application advantages to mitigate rebar corrosion.
Although often not appreciated, it is important to recognize is that how you conduct your process has a profound impact on where the acid groups reside and therefore on your final product properties.
This article studies the effects of weathering on the topcoats and focuses on a commonly used acrylic topcoat that offers a balance of properties such as chemical resistance, condensation resistance, gloss retention and other mechanical properties.
The post-addition of different grades of fibrillated HDPE fiber has shown to positively affect film formation, tensile properties and wet track abrasion resistance of a commercially available asphalt emulsion driveway sealer/coating.
Scientists and artists alike have been invested in isolating pigments from nature and developing novel pigment technologies for coatings and other industries.
Synthomer has developed a novel styrene acrylic binder with excellent water resistance, scrub resistance and hiding power, and that potentially enables the paint and coatings industry to optimize binder and pigment dosage, resulting in paint property, carbon footprint and cost improvements.
This article provides an overview of the classes of self-healing technologies that have been developed, and their ongoing and/or potential uses in the design of coating systems.
Anti-microbial (anti-viral and bactericidal) NANOVA HYGIENE+™ reduces the risk of microbial contamination virtually for all surfaces, including metal, glass, wood, fabrics and plastics by the principle of repelling microbes, offering a non-stick surface to pathogens and self-sanitizing for 90 days.
