On Demand Reducing the use of fossil carbon and the output of greenhouse gas emissions are undoubtedly among the greatest challenges for society and industry in this century. The U.S. Administration, via the Inflation Reduction Act, is putting forward regulatory measures calling for more sustainable solutions that contribute to climate neutrality, the circular economy, and the use of hazard-free substances.
On Demand Penn Color is launching ASTRAD, a portfolio of water-based, solvent-based and UV dispersions for a broad range of applications in architectural, automotive, and industrial coatings.
On Demand Valida is a 100% natural, biodegradable, and sustainable material produced by mechanically processing wood-derived cellulose fibers down to their smallest components, resulting in innovative material properties.
On Demand This presentation describes how novel SPHERILEX® silica particles can be used to improve wet scrub and burnish resistance of architectural paints and to boost the performance of traditional silica matting agents to achieve deep matte wood coatings that have significantly improved scratch, burnish and mar resistance.
On DemandThis presentation will discuss the unfavorable air/liquid interactions that cause air entrapment and it’s stabilization in coatings. The additives used to correct these issues and the consequences of under or over usage will also be covered in detail.
On Demand To meet ever-shifting market, customer, and supply demands, leaders in the coatings industry have adopted materials informatics (MI) to accelerate formulation development. We provide an example of the application of materials informatics to address a common coatings reformulation problem: removing harmful materials, in this case outdated surfactants, to achieve regulatory compliance while maintaining product performance in solution and on application.
On Demand Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the way R&D organizations operate, offering immense opportunities to streamline research processes, optimize formulation design, and accelerate development of new products. However, to fully utilize AI, and improve productivity and innovation in coatings development, it’s crucial that scientific data is captured and structured properly.
