Who: Omnova’s Latoska N. Price:
Coatings Application Manager at OMNOVA Solutions, has worked in the Coatings Industry for several years in the areas of Automotive, Industrial, Architectural and Color Science. She earned her B.S. Chemistry from University of Detroit –Mercy and an M. S. Polymer Technology from Eastern Michigan University.
What: Multi-surface renovation paints have enjoyed significant development in recent years, especially in Big Box and independent paint stores. There are growing expectations from consumers that paints be applied over a wide variety of substrates and demonstrate good adhesion and ease of use. Beyond adhesion, such renovation paints also must deliver properties such as fast hardness development, abrasion and impact resistance, as well as flexibility to allow for dimensional variations of wood in trim areas. In this presentation, we will discuss latex technology that meets these market needs
