This study evaluates waterborne polyurethane and polyacrylate resins with water-dispersible polyisocyanates to enhance corrosion resistance, durability and coating performance on metal substrates.

ATO-based antistatic coatings outperform PEDOT and fluorinated additives, offering PFAS-free protection and superior stability, especially in PSAs for LCD polarizers to prevent static discharge.

An introduction to isocyanates in coatings, covering types, properties, reactivity and key formulation considerations for self-leveling urethane systems.

A new thermal additive enhances energy efficiency and fire resistance, reducing heat absorption, improving emissivity, and meeting stringent environmental and building performance standards.

Flat roofs face aging and weathering challenges from solar radiation, moisture and pollutants. This study explores polymer dispersions' impact on elastomeric roof coatings' durability, flexibility and chalking resistance.

Silicone surface additives improve UV and EB coatings with enhanced slip, tape release properties and reduced surface tension for lasting performance.

A cutting-edge anticorrosion additive endured 6,000 hours of real-world coastal testing—revealing surprising results, including the standout performance of waterborne acrylic coatings in marine environments.

Cobalt carboxylates are commonly used as catalysts for the oxidative crosslinking of alkyd resins, which accelerate the drying of paints, inks, and coatings. Despite their effectiveness, alternatives are increasingly sought after.

Crosslinking improves coating colorfastness, durability, and salt tolerance while maintaining flexibility. And the network of chains provides for superior wind-driven rain resistance. 

The new resins have a renewable carbon content, can be formulated and used without hazardous ingredients found in most competitive products, and were developed to have efficient crosslinking with environmentally compliant carbodiimide-type crosslinkers.
