Low-Temperature-Curing Powder Coatings System
The allnex high-reactive polyester resins give the powder coating industry the ability to formulate products for both indoor and outdoor applications with reduced curing times and/or lower curing temperatures.
A Solution for Powder Coating Heat-Sensitive Substrates
With this powder coating technology, manufacturers can lower operational costs, increase end-product value and provide a mechanism for meaningful differentiation.
Solution to Polly’s Botched Scale Up
Polly Mertz’s first scale-up of a new emulsion polymer had resulted in the contents boiling out of a 500-gallon reactor. What had gone wrong in the acrylic emulsion production batch?
