Upcoming PNWSCT and Related Events
PNWSCT is happy to promote the next Eugene-area technical presentation over happy hour & dinner to accommodate geography and schedules. This will be executed as ‘normal’ PNWSCT event (see below). Please RSVP to myself and/or Molly Wynveen (CC’d) whom will be leading the event!
We’re excited to bring a technical presentation from Croda—abstract and bio to come with Nick Speller. Nick is the Key Account Manager for Croda’s SMART Materials Group (Coatings/Adhesives Additives & Polymer Additives).
- Date: Tuesday, June 19th
- Where: TBD—most likely Claim 52’s Taproom
- Time: Evening event from 5-8 PM (check-in from 5-5:30 PM with presentation start anticipated at 5:30 PM)
- Cost: Free for manufacturing members, $20 for retirees, $25 for all others
Join the PNWSCT and the PAC (Packaging Association of Canada) in a game of golf.
Proceeds from the golf will be going to BC Children’s hospital once again!
Even if you do not golf… consider sponsoring a hole like our current sponsors…

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.
When: Tuesday, Sept 11th
Where: Stanford’s @ Lloyd Center: 913 Lloyd Center; Portland, OR 97232; 503.335.0811 (plenty parking in garage off NE Multnomah St.)
Cost:

Speaker: Royce Mathews, Wax Business Development Manager, Munzing US
Title: Wax Additives as Surface Modifiers for Coatings
Abstract: Wax additives are used as surface modifiers in coating formulations and printing inks to provide antiblocking, COF control, matting, hydrophobicity, burnish and abrasion resistance. Besides the chemical nature of the waxes, the particle size distribution, concentration, substrate, form of delivery and curing conditions are all equally important to consider for achieving the desired surface properties. The presentation provides guidelines for selecting a wax to get the optimal performance in your coating
Bio: Royce Mathews is a Wax Business Development Manager at Munzing US. He brings over 25 years of expertise in the application of current and emerging technologies in coatings and additives industry. He has a proven record of solving on-site and technical challenges, new product development and client retention. He has garnered knowledge from past roles as Technical Product Manager, Senior Research Chemist/Project Manager, and Senior Chemist for Polymer Synthesis and Coatings Application at Lubrizol, Cargill, McWhorter Technologies and Eastman respectively. Royce is a graduate of DePaul University has a M.S in Polymer Science and Coatings Technology and also holds a M.S in Physical Chemistry.
