Sustainability is the main topic of the future as together we all need to use less raw materials and energy for climate protection. Sustainability includes biobased but also longer lasting materials which don’t need to be replaced as often as before. The presentation will show examples of using biobased materials for decorative coatings but also… Read more »
With Easy-Wet™ introduces new non-ionic, carbon based surface wetting agents, presenting perfect finishes through labelling- and silicone free chemistry. The wetting agents exhibit a good balance of low static and dynamic surface tension and helps to minimize defects in coating such as picture framing, cratering, pin holing, etc. Additionally Easy-Wet™ wetting agents are low in… Read more »
Coating formulations are facing the strongest demands on sustainability measures of the past decades. With the industries increased focus to address environmental and health concerns, we used our comprehensive knowledge on chemicals to develop newest solutions to fill those requirements offering innovations to formulate the future. In this presentation we will underline challenges and solutions… Read more »
The transformation to a more sustainable world is also challenging for the paint and coatings industry. Therefore, sustainable raw materials are becoming increasingly important. Improvements can be made in many ways. One possible approach is to increase the proportion of renewable raw materials. Alkyd resins in particular are by definition already based on larger proportions… Read more »
Univar Solutions is happy to present the latest development from Dow Coatings Materials, Acrysol RM735BF. This biocide-free associative thickener provides excellent mid-shear viscosity in architectural coatings. It can be used as the sole rheology modifier in many formulations and has the advantage of being both biocide-free and free of any hazard labels. This presentation will… Read more »
By utilizing composite pigments containing optimally spaced TiO2, a formulator can improve overall TiO2 efficiency in waterborne coatings. This will result in a significant increase in the opacity and whiteness, allowing the use of thinner films. The substantial improvement in opacity allows for thinner films (lower coat weight) to be applied while maintaining target coating opacity…. Read more »
Developing high-performance formulations with minimal VOC emissions remains a challenge for formulators across a variety of paints and coatings applications. Alkanolamines, which are well-known for their exceptional ability to wet, grind, and stabilize a wide range of pigments, can help formulators achieve an optimal blend of other wetting and dispersing agents, while reducing the VOC… Read more »
