By combining an advanced polymeric additive structure with macromonomer functionality with functional groups that can covalently bond to an epoxy system, a new type of additive with superior properties could be generated.
By understanding how additive performance can be affected by formulation change, formulators can identify potential problems and work with their suppliers to find answers faster.
Working closely with industry partners, CPCA has developed expert knowledge of the Canadian regulatory process with an advanced “early warning” system of what is coming down the pipe that could potentially impact raw material supply.
Using liquid fillers and other types of liquid packaging equipment in your facilities can give you everything you need to maintain efficiency and cost effectiveness in the packaging process.
Powder coating is efficient and durable. However, there are situations where the airborne powder can be combustible. Because of this, NFPA rules do apply to these applications. Proper airflow and filtration is essential.
Today’s paint and coatings companies may not be paint and coatings companies tomorrow; businesses will integrate toward a servicing-brand image and away from simply being paint suppliers.
Using one hundred percent-reactive methylene malonate monomers, difunctionals, multifunctionals and prepolymers, manufacturers of paints, coatings and other products can dial in a wide range of properties to produce a variety of high-performing polymer products that cure rapidly at low or ambient temperatures.
In response to the demand for high performance and biobased polyols for coatings systems, Emery Oleochemicals has launched a family of new azelaic acid-based polyester polyols specifically intended for the C.A.S.E. polyurethane market segments with particular emphasis on coatings applications as discussed in this article.
