Co-solvent choice is a significant challenge faced by waterborne coatings formulators, and its influence on early hardness development and early water resistance is often overlooked.
The award recognizes an individual who, during the course of his or her career, has made outstanding contributions to the coatings industry. Nominations are reviewed by PCI’s Publisher and Editors, and the winner is announced at the annual Coatings Trends & Technologies Summit in Lombard, IL.
Linetec’s fluoropolymer coating technology provides a resilient finish, ensuring precise color matching and long-term performance for the National Aquarium’s skylight upgrade.
The anti-corrosion coating was used to coat the internal lining of three tanks, protecting them against aggressive, acidic substances. The tanks play an important role in the process of turning large amounts of shellfish byproduct into the bio-polymer chitosan.
Being able to reduce the amount of petroleum-based solvents in a product and replace them with gentler bio-based material such as canola oil is a great option. Learn about new bio-based rust preventatives.
Although it might seem inconvenient to update coatings systems that have not yet failed, now may be an ideal time for manufacturers to reassess their protective technologies and consider newer, more effective solutions in this strained energy sector.
