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

Marking the calendar for the annual Portland-area social event of the year! Your favorite Portland Winterhawks hockey team will be suiting up against the Seattle Thunderbirds.
Typically, we’re excited to bring 4 speakers to the 1/2 day seminar. At this time we have the following companies confirmed:
- TBF Environmental (http://tbfenvironmental.com/)
- Ashland Specialties, Inc. (https://www.ashland.com/)
Cost:
$0 for manufacturing members
$20 for retired persons
$25 for all others
We’re excited to bring 4 speakers to the 1/2 day seminar.
- Greg Monaghan of Specialty Polymers
- David A. Pasin of TBF Environmental (http://tbfenvironmental.com/)
- Natalia Amoroso Lopes Valezin of Ashland Specialties, Inc. (https://www.ashland.com/)
- Lanxess Biocides
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.
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

Bio: Dr. Robert Sandoval is a R&D Technical Manager at EPS, leading the Industrial and Construction coatings group. He earned a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Michigan Technological University in 2005 and a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Northwestern University in 2010, focusing in polymer physics and engineering. Dr. Sandoval spent four years at Dow Chemical before joining EPS in 2014. His industrial research has focused on mixing and emulsification technologies and coating formulations and testing. His technical contributions have helped to commercially launch several platform technologies at EPS, including new high gloss architectural resins, interior & exterior flat through semi-gloss resins, and roof coatings.
