Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) is a multi-functional additive for coatings, adhesives and sealants, with a pronounced effect in improving rheology, stabilization and surface properties.
Companies and suppliers can do their bit to avert a climate catastrophe and also ensure that they have a financially sustainable business in the future by voluntarily adopting science-based targets.
A new pre-dispersion process has been developed that creates a homogenous slurry suitable for micro-bead milling, reliably bringing the promised cost savings and efficiency to an industrialized color suspension process for the first time.
The requirements that are normally in balance in a DTM can be achieved using Inhibispheres (IS) due to their size, shape, refractive index and the sustained release of their unique corrosion inhibitors.
This article presents encouraging results from a designed study looking at the combination of recycled and renewable feedstocks, as well as the use of non-metallic corrosion inhibition, resulting in a new product for superb metal substrate protection.
SLIPS Foul Protect N1x has successfully demonstrated the pathway to reducing marine fouling with a non-toxic, environmentally friendly approach combining the smooth and slippery liquid-based surface (Physical module) and highly branched amphiphilic SAPs (Chemical module).
PPG announced that its interior and exterior coatings are enhancing protection, safety and sustainability for the new Beijing Daxing International Airport terminal building.
Within the universe of wear-resistant thin films, diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings have emerged as the ideal solution for demanding physical applications where components are under high loads or subject to extreme friction, wear and contact with other parts.
Recent energy-curable resin developments respond to the increasing demand for suitable oligomers for coatings on plastics in different segments such as consumer electronics, cosmetic packaging and automotive interiors for different specifications and aesthetic requirements.
Due to their tailored system compatibility, the new sili¬cone surfactants are suitable for use in both aqueous one-component systems as well as in aqueous two-com¬ponent polyurethane and radiation-curable systems.
