The GHS-compliant synthetic labels are chemical, tear and abrasion resistant, and are constructed with a marine-grade adhesive that is waterproof and passes a 90-day seawater submersion adhesion test. Unlike typical labels, which crack and harden in harsh conditions, they are UV resistant with 2+ years of outdoor UV life.

Forward-thinking coatings manufacturers are running industry-specific software applications that more effectively manage their formulas and packaging specifications.

The case study presented here illustrates the importance of testing powders under conditions that simulate the process environment.

Through collaborative research methods, new solutions are becoming available to meet rising industry needs from decreasing your VOC footprint to using polymer technology to bridge the gap in packaging and coating needs.

The silicone-epoxy hybrid resin technology combines the positive effects of an aliphatic epoxy resin, like corrosion protection and chemical resistance, with the UV resistance and low yellowing characteristics of an alkoxy silicone resin.

Through clever collaborations and a commitment to her personal passions, Keefe’s work has demonstrated that sound science can lead to truly novel solutions - often in the most unexpected of places.

There are colorants containing infrared-reflective materials with both solvent and water-based formulas designed for broad compatibility in coatings.

2K waterborne polyurethane and polyaspartic coatings can provide excellent protection as well as decoration, provide a longer service life and lower life cycle cost.

Defoamers that contain a molecular defoaming component as part of their composition show an ability to defoam more efficiently than their non-molecular defoaming-containing counterparts.

This new facility is an example of moving forward in sustainability by creating permanent high value for all stakeholders.
