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.

Speaker’s Tour – Portland: Munzing Wax Additives @ TBA
Nov 13 @ 11:00 am – 1:00 pm

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.

To All registered members,

Unleash your inner artist

Spend two hours drinking, laughing, and flexing your creative muscles. There’s no experience necessary and we’ll provide all the supplies, so you don’t have to worry about a thing (except having a great time!). Must be of legal drinking age.

The event begins promptly at the start time listed above. Please allow extra time to find parking and get settled. If you’re coming with a group (yay, how fun!) make sure you arrive early to get seats together – it’s first come, first serve. If you’re planning to eat dinner before the event, please arrive ONE HOUR before the event starts. There might not be plenty of room on your table for food AND your painting, but there’s ALWAYS enough room for your drink!

Events last approximately two hours, at the end of which you get to take home your new masterpiece.
