Perfecting Every Layer: Advanced Insights for Coating Excellence
From the vibrant hues adorning our homes to the protective layer on a bridge, the paints, inks, and coatings play a critical role in our daily lives. Achieving the desired properties and performance in these applications, however, is a complex undertaking. It demands a deep understanding of material properties and the ability to meticulously control the formulation and manufacturing processes.
From particle size and morphology to surface charge and solid content, these critical parameters strongly influence the quality and functionality of paints, inks, and coatings. Controlling these characteristics is paramount for delivering superior products that meet the ever-evolving demands of diverse industries.
This collection of application notes provides practical guidance on understanding and controlling these parameters. It highlights cutting-edge characterization approaches that are well-established and widely used, including laser diffraction, dynamic light scattering (DLS), electrophoretic light scattering (ELS), and gas displacement method. Gain actionable knowledge to refine formulations and troubleshoot challenges.
