New Multi-Functional Additive for Water-based Paints & Coatings

Dystar
This is a Past Webinar

Chemists and formulators daily face challenges of choosing additives that can easily incorporate into resins, inks, coatings, and paints, yet still deliver the intended improvements desired by end-users.

Silanes, silanols, and silicones are typical chemistries used in additives to improve resin, coating, and paint properties, such as:

  • Slip and Mar
  • Block
  • Dirt pick-up resistance
  • Adhesion
  • Surface energy
  • Gloss

Improvement on the above properties using silanol-based additives is a difficult task, as silanol-based additives can be difficult to incorporate or unstable in resins and coatings. The proper additive formulation is key to achieve the desired dispersion and stability into a given resin or paint formulation.

In this webinar, knowledgeable professionals from DyStar have:

  • Presented an overview of a unique DyStar Silanol product that exhibits improvements in many of these desired properties
  • Discussed some of the challenges faced while creating these special additives

Why should you view this webinar?

Low or no-VOC targets for coatings manufacturers have created a formidable challenge for the formulator. The Lower Tg resins required result in softer films have higher tendencies for blocking, imprinting, tacky feel, and poor dirt pickup resistance (DPUR).

Through this webinar, one can learn about the challenges and advantages of using modified silanes and silanols in a popular acrylic latex resin and a finished paint formulation. Dystar experts have presented recent research showing how we can enhance the properties of the final paint formulation using these chemistries:

  • Why formation of a stable emulsion of reactive silanes and silanols matters
  • What happens when you try to push too much functionality or too small of a molecule into the system
  • Specific improvements in block, dirt pick up resistance, and hardness we can expect given the current state of the technology

Michael Sims R&D Manager - Performance Chemicals, DyStar

Michael Sims Mr. Sims received his Master’s Degree in Synthetic Organic Chemistry from Montana State University, where he focused on G-0 Dendrimers that exhibited two-photon absorption characteristics, to be applied as a thin film coating. These dendrimers were directed towards laser energy redirection through forbidden transition, in order to convert from harmful to non-harmful energy.

Over the past 16 years, he has focused on processing and coating chemicals in a variety of industrial markets, such as wood and pulp, textile, water treatment, oil and gas, food foam control, and now performance chemical coatings. With experience in these various markets, he has found the similarities between chemistries, which has aided in his quick integration into new market focuses.
