Maintaining bead size and charge in stirred mills enhances grinding efficiency, crucial for producing consistent particle sizes in coatings formulations.
Paint and coatings contribute to global health in many unseen ways, like reducing the risk of infection, keeping our food supply chain safer, giving us more time to escape a fire, and eliminating exposure to dangerous materials. Get the details in this installment of our new Innovation Insights column.
Five companies were named Vendor of the Year, and three additional winners were selected in the Innovative Product of the Year, Productive Solutions Award, and Marketing Innovation Award categories.
Nycote Laboratories Corporation explains how it uses its well-qualified, proven coating technology as a platform to add new performance features that solve present and future problems for the aerospace industry and more.
Taken collectively, the EPA’s recent actions serve as a roadmap for the risk management rules the agency will propose for existing chemicals in the future. For paint and coatings in particular, the proposed rules will have significant implications on industry operations due to the many conditions of use and applications of these chemicals that the EPA plans to regulate.
This article outlines how a robust materials data management strategy can significantly enhance your R&D activities, streamline workflows, and even revolutionize material discovery and production processes.
Waterborne latexes are produced via emulsion polymerization, in which surfactants or emulsifiers are the key components to control latex properties. Much effort has been made to reduce the impact of surfactants on the performance of waterborne formulations. One of the promising approaches is to use polymerizable or reactive surfactants to prepare latex polymers.
Axalta recently announced it has won three bronze Edison Awards in the categories of Innovative Services, Sustainability, and Engineering and Materials Science.
