Two new adhesive and sealant products for the industrial assembly and maintenance market address manufacturing needs for materials with greater performance and efficiency, as well as delivering on enhanced design options and cost-in-use savings.

Highly sensitive tactile sensors also allow designers to quantify spray pressure data even in applications where extremely low pressures are involved.

Designed for bonding a wide range of metals, toughened epoxy and acrylic structural adhesives can provide the strength and durability needed to replace welds, spot welds and mechanical fasteners in a wide variety of industrial applications.

There are several production systems available for companies that require flexibility with tinted paint or tinted products on a daily basis. Among the different tinting production methods is the “in-can” production system - an efficient and economical solution.

The flow point is an important parameter for quality control, as well as for research and development of coatings.

The combination of a high-Tg, hydrophobic, high-MW alkyd with the proper surfactants and levels can produce a highly corrosion-resistant DTM alkyd emulsion when formulated with select pigment dispersants.

The high-quality carbon blacks that this innovative technology harvests from end-of-life tires can replace traditional furnace-grade product and can be reused in the production of new tires, rubber, plastics, ink and paints.

Depending on the nature of the application, different levels of the release effect are desired, and demands regarding durability of the release effect vary substantially. Therefore, it makes sense to take a closer look at the specialty additives that create this effect.

This article discusses the major changes in the product development process, many of which have been enabled by the computer revolution.

This study utilized multiple hardness and tack testing procedures in order to fully understand the hardness profile of architectural paints.
