Title: Evaluations of Wetting and Dispersing Additives for Use in Waterborne Anti-Corrosive Paint

Over the last few years the protective coatings industry has seen an increased demand for high performance waterborne coatings in the field of corrosion protection. Market drivers such as “Sustainability”, “Greenability”, and ongoing regulatory and environmental concerns continue to force coatings producers to look for other viable options to replace conventional solvent borne technologies. By their very nature waterborne systems require elaborate additive packages so that they can achieve acceptable levels of performance when compared to traditional technologies.

 

On one hand, wetting and dispersing additives are required to achieve proper pigment and filler dispersions, coating processability, and proper hiding and other film properties. On the other hand it can be said that waterborne wetting and dispersing additives potentially bear the risk of increasing hydrophilicity of the paint film which may potentially have negative impact on paint film barrier properties such as, early water and moisture resistance, water uptake, and corrosion resistance.

 

The topic of this paper is a new wetting & dispersing additive based on novel chemical technologies, which allow for improvements in durability, anti-corrosion, and adhesion properties of the coating along with improved processing characteristics.

FORMULATION AND APPLICATION GUIDELINES FOR THE USE OF NEAR INFRARED MANAGEMENT COLORANTS

 

Near infrared (NIR) reflective coatings produced with innovative pigment chemistries can minimize the heat build of substrates with aesthetically appealing colors. In order to successfully maximize the performance of NIR management colorants containing these pigments, one needs to be cognizant of that the coating is only one component of the entire thermodynamic system that leads to heat build. This discussion provides some insight into this topic and offers some basic guidelines for formulators and product managers to consider that can help to ensure the maximum performance potential in a given application is attained.

Speaker’s Tour – Portland: BASF Dispersants @ Stanford's @ Lloyd Center
Sep 11 @ 11:00 am – 1:00 pm

September 2018 Technical Presentation – BASF Dispersants

Bio: Tony Moy, Technical Specialist, BASF Formulation Additives

Tony Moy has been with BASF for 6 years.  He has been in his current role as Technical Specialist for BASF Formulation Additives for 2.5 years, with product focus on dispersants and market focus on industrial segments.  Prior to this, he held the role of Process Development Engineer for BASF Dispersions and focused on scale up of rheology modifier and defoamer product lines.  Tony had worked for DuPont for 23 years in a variety of roles before joining BASF.  He has 18 years of experience as a Resin and Dispersion Engineer in the DuPont Performance Coatings (Automotive) business, focusing on resin synthesis, dispersion scale-up, and dispersion color science/formulations.  Educational background: MS Chemical Engineering, Northwestern University; MBA, Wake Forest University.

 

Abstract: Dispersants – Why and How to Use Them

Dispersants bring a unique value proposition to coatings.  The primary purpose of dispersing agents is to gain the optimal value of a pigment in a coating (minimum concentration with desired performance/properties and stability).  How dispersants function in a coating and the advantages of their use will be explained in this talk.  In addition, guidance will be provided on the selection of dispersing agents, optimization of the level of usage, process considerations, and examples of applications will be discussed.  The goal of the talk is to provide the audience with a deeper insight to this additive technology and a good basis of understanding with which to incorporate it into future coatings applications.
