Remaining Solvent? Emerging Risks, Regulations, and Real-World Solutions in the European Solvents Sector
A discussion on how companies in the solvents sector are trying to navigate an increasingly challenging environment, with over-capacity, increasing regulation and energy costs in Europe. It remains vital to operate safely and sustainably, to mitigate those risks and pressures, working with regulators to ensure safety but avoiding unnecessary regulatory burdens. Companies must stay ahead… Read more »

Hierarchical Structured Surfaces and Their Applications in Protective Coatings
This research describes a versatile method for the creation of multi-tier hierarchical structured surfaces, that seek to optimise conflicting surface effects, such as anti-viral/anti-microbial efficacy and hydrophobic (easy-clean) properties. This approach exploits the availability of surface-active ‘chemical functional’ groups whilst also manipulating surface micro- and nano-structure, to control the way the coating interacts with liquid… Read more »
Building Sustainable Polymers into Coatings
I will be discussing my research on a new polymer system (patent filed) that we are developing that replaced petrochemical content with biosourced components from non-food sources. This polymer is the results of over 4 years of R&D. It has been trialled in a number of real-life applications including emulsion paints, plastic films and a… Read more »
Silane Modified Colloidal Silica in Waterborne PUD Coatings for Galvanized Steel
The use of silane modified colloidal silica in PUD resin-based coating formulations in combination with resin and epoxy silane has been investigated. The samples were evaluated regarding their mechanical, physical properties and corrosion resistances on galvanized steel. Addition of modified colloidal silica enhanced the corrosion resistance significantly. The coating cross-linking density increased upon silica and… Read more »
