Discover Insights Beyond Viscosity into Your Materials' Behavior

Rheology is crucial for predicting paint and coatings' flow during processing, performance during application and quality of the final coating. It is especially a must for the formulation engineer, who has to develop paint and coatings with well-defined application and end-use properties. While viscometers report only a single viscosity value within a limited range, the new Discovery core rheometer captures the complete viscosity profile, representing material behavior across all relevant conditions.

Watch this short demo to explore how this new high-performing, affordable core rheometer provides reliable rheology tests with immediate walk-up usability and on-screen guidance for loading, testing and cleanup.

Getting Started with UV-Cured Powder Coating

From R&D feasibility studies to full system installation, it all starts with the question: Can you coat this? UV-cured powder coatings bring the best of performance and sustainability with a cost-effective and efficient finishing process. Lower temperatures and instant cure allow the finishing of heat-sensitive materials like wood, composite and plastics, as well as traditional metal substrates. Keyland will work with you every step of the way to develop a coating for your product.

Do Regulatory Pressures Have You Thinking About Replacing PFAS in Your Formulation?

Silicone-based compounds reduce surface tension to 20 mN/m; provide water/glass contact angles of 115°; and, based on new data we have, provide some oil repellency. Based on these properties, silicone compounds are a natural fit in many PFAS uses. See our article in the November 2023 issue of PCI Magazine for details.

Advancing Spray Paint Ingredients for Modern Muralists and Graffiti Artists

Univar's team of ingredient specialists in their global Solution Centers knows that innovation doesn't happen overnight, particularly with coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers, rubber and plastic additives (CASE) products. It takes diligent research and development, the highest precision regarding quality control, and creativity—an infinite amount of creativity—especially when formulating with spray paint ingredients. In those instances, few collaborators meet that criterion better than Mario Enrique Figueroa, Jr., better known among the professional artist community as GONZO247.
