Biocide Selection: In-can Preservation, Dry Film Protection, Anti-fouling...

Interior coatings used especially in kitchen and bathrooms are more vulnerable to microbial degradation due to damp conditions. And for exterior paints, environmental conditions like humidity can lead to fungal/ algal growth and negatively affect the aesthetics of the coating. Apart from architectural segment, microbial issues are also predominant in the marine industry leading to problems such as high maintenance costs, increased corrosion etc. Also, not only limited to after use spoilage, microorganisms can contaminate the paint in different ways during the manufacturing process too. Are you hunting for the right biocide for your coating formulation? Does the ever-changing global regulatory...

Defoamers for Coatings: Selection Tips, Performance Evaluation & Troubleshooting

The demands for ever-faster production times and application speeds for coatings continue to grow. These pressures intensify an inherent problem with coating formulations -- foam generation! Today, a number of different types of foam-control agents are employed to combat foam. However, selecting the proper one, its use level and incorporation method for a specific coating or ink formulation can be quite a task. In addition to effective foam control, the compatibility of the anti-foam in the coating formulation must be balanced to avoid any surface defects as well. Master this delicate business of finding the best suitable defoamer for your...
