Science and Tech Solutions Meet the Flooring Crisis
Environmental issues and shortages in supply chain raw materials are stretching the flooring industry worldwide. Here, Vik Vithlani, of Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine Coatings EMEAI, examines how science and technology are finding th…
Metal Adhesion and Corrosion Resistance of Coatings
The improved adhesion, good corrosion resistance and good QUV gloss retention show that the hydrophobic resin in the hybrid polymer can be used to reduce the effects of high acid on corrosion and of styrene on QUV gloss retention.
Polyurethane Dispersions from Sustainable Polyols with Recycled and Renewable Content
One of the appropriate markets for recycling condensation polymers (polyester, polycarbonate, polyamide) is the coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers market (CASE), where many of the useful components for high performance already rely o…
Use of Amino Acrylates to Reduce Photoinitiator Concentration or Increase Cure Speed in UV LED-Curable OPVs and Flexo Inks
Acrylated amines can be used to either increase UV LED cure speed at existing PI concentrations, or maintain UV LED cure speed at reduced PI concentrations.
Development of a Chemical-Resistant, Two-Component Polyurethane Coating System
In this research, newly designed multifunctional polyol systems based on a polycarbonate structure and advanced polyisocyanate systems as crosslinkers were investigated in order to improve chemical resistance of coatings.
Stopping Corrosion in Mine, Quarry and Aggregate Processing Structures
Although CBPC coatings are relatively new in mine, quarry and aggregate processing applications, their use will only grow as word spreads about how they can inhibit carbon steel hopper and structural corrosion for decades as well as reduce pre…
1K Hydrophobic Binders for Anticorrosion Primers and DTM Topcoats
Binders that show a high contact angle both before and after the salt spray test perform better for corrosion protection, compared to those that show low contact angles before and after the test.
Going Nano to Mimic Penetration of Solvent-Based Products
Greater awareness of phenomena that occur on a nanometric scale and subsequent testing (both in application and synthesis of polymers) have led to the development of new materials with better performance characteristics than the traditional on…
