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.

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

Speaker: Dr. Robert Sandoval, R&D Technical Manager at EPS.
Abstract: Adhesion to a substrate is a key fundamental property for most classes of coatings. Unless one is designing a removable coating, high adhesion is typically desired. However, due to the wide range of substrates that exist, designing a single resin and coating formulation that adheres to the multitude of surfaces that an end user may coat (while maintaining other performance properties) is challenging. Additionally, as the coatings industry converts more to waterborne technologies, strategies that were once used to improve adhesion are no longer an option. In this talk, an overview of common substrates and strategies that have been employed to adhere to them will be presented. For example, low surface energy substrates such as thermoplastic olefin (TPO), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and others are notoriously difficult to adhere to due to their lack of chemical functionality to improve adhesion and typically require a solvent-based (i.e., high VOC) solution. Data will be presented showing how newly developed waterborne acrylic resins and their coatings formulation can impact, and in the case of resin choice, dramatically improve adhesion, especially to metal, TPO, asphalt, and other hard-to-stick-to surfaces

Water-Based Dispersants for High-Performance End Use Applications
ABSTRACT
Paint formulators face significant challenges in producing high performance coatings in water based finishes. Dispersing pigments in water is more challenging than solvent based systems. The lower VOC’s of today’s finishes and tomorrow’s future needs push the boundaries of traditional dispersant technology. In addition to wetting and stabilization, it is difficult to eliminate the negative effects of traditional dispersants in the final film properties for the high-performance finishes required in today’s markets.
In this presentation we will introduce our latest developments in water-borne dispersants. We have optimised dispersant performance through the control of polymer architecture, molecular weight and nature of our anchor groups. We have developed novel dispersants that are excellent at both wetting and stabilizing colorants for paints as well as improve the end use properties of high performance finishes. We will show examples of improved corrosion resistance in a direct to metal finish, improved spot resistance in a high performance black finish, improved tensile and elongation retention in roof coatings, as well as many other examples.
