The Hoover Color Division of CATHAY INDUSTRIES has worked in conjunction with iron oxide recovery to modify a naturally occurring process to produce a series of unique iron oxides pigments. Not only is the EnvironOxide range a good source of color, it is also a by-product of a successful reclamation project.
Maxemul reactive surfactants act as efficient emulsifiers providing colloidal stability and are chemically bonded to the polymer particles during free radical polymerization. The enhanced stability and mitigation of surfactant leaching during and after film forming significantly improve water resistance and barrier properties of the latex binder as a replacement of conventional surfactants.
TiO2 forecasts for 2018 looked strong worldwide. Then yellow flags signaled warnings by early summer. What happened? And what can we expect in the near future? CEOs of major TiO2 producers are still upbeat, because they see a strong industry and growing demand without significant capacity expansion.
This two-part article has focused on the four interdependent aspects of a wood finish: the products, execution, environmental regulations and quality control.
This article is a comparison study using an accelerated weathering method to test different wood types pretreated with and without Eversorb SB in different co-solvents.
This study has confirmed benefits from use of liquid polybutadiene polymers in solvent-based coatings with additional enhancements seen from a new liquid polybutadiene.
As demonstrated by the real-world exposures presented in this article, use of a primer is very beneficial over even the most challenging substrates. In some cases, the lifetime of the topcoat can be extended by over three years when a primer is used.
It is therefore important to evaluate different crosslinkers and understand their benefits and drawbacks in a given system to enable the formulation of a high-performance wood coating.
