WACKER's new Silicones R&D Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan, is dedicated to support the company’s overall business and product development in North America.

See which companies have the highest coatings sales in the world and in North America.

This company has taken an innovative approach to functionalizing polymer surfaces with its responsive monomers to defend against microbes.

Despite microbial control solutions being a small addition in a lengthy production process, their contribution is critical and will continue to play a central role in human development.

Reactive siloxane telechelic and macromeric siloxanes with their intrinsic physical properties and control of structure are now able to extend the range of performance for both urethane- and silicone-based positive tactile interaction coatings.

Amidst the booming sales, paint manufacturers in Britain are breaking industry records when it comes to paint recycling.

The near-term outlook for participants in the industrial coatings industry remains bright. On top of broad economic tailwinds such as low interest rates, cash-rich participants and an active M&A market, several industry-specific factors are providing further lift.

In this article we report on the development of a tin-free aqueous silicone gum dispersion from early tin-based compositions.

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.
