The effect of microfibrillated cellulose on rheological and film properties of waterborne coatings with Otto Soidinsalo of Borregaard
Dec 14 all-day

There is a growing interest to move towards waterborne systems in the coatings industry. However, the change is not always straightforward and often new technologies are required to obtain the same performance as with solvent borne systems. Typical challenges related with the waterborne coatings is mud-cracking and open time. Waterborne coatings tend to dry significantly faster than their solvent borne counterparts and suffer from skinning, often leading to mud-cracking.

 

Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) is a new, a value-added and multifunctional product made of cellulose, consists of fibrils with lateral dimensions in the nanoscale and lengths up to micron scale. Its unique combination of characteristics from water soluble polymers and insoluble fibers gives a versatile and efficient alternative to technologies currently available. MFC secures high viscosity at rest, giving good stability, as well as offering shear thinning behavior and rapid viscosity build-up, which prevents sag during application. The high inertness, compatibility and chemical stability of MFC opens up new possibilities for waterborne paints and coatings, especially for the more demanding formulations.

 

The will demonstrate how MFC can solve your challenges regarding open time and mud cracking combined with excellent spray properties.

PDX’s Annual Social Nite: Portland Winterhawks Hockey @ Veterans Memorial Coliseum
Mar 18 @ 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm

PNWSCT Members, Friends, and Hockey Fans –

I have been asked to set up this year’s Winter Social, which has been a night with the Portland Winterhawks. Historically we have picked a game in February, although I wasn’t given enough time this year to set something up for that month. All of the games in the beginning of the month would be impossible to get seats together in a timely manner and there are no home games the back half of February.

Looking into March, there are some home games with our favorite nemesis (Seattle Thunderbirds). I would like to suggest Saturday, March 18th @ 6 pm. The Winterhawks play in the Portland Memorial Coliseum. This would allow time for our buddies from the Emerald City (Seattle) to travel down for a humiliating defeat! The Winterhawks have said that they could handle a group of our size and have already blocked off an area on the lower level. Cost would be $26.00/person. In the past this included a hotdog and soda, but that program has been cancelled due to COVID. Damn bug is getting the blame for everything.

Buy your tickets ASAP if you’re able to join us for an enjoyable night of hockey! I hope to see many of you there and my contact information is listed below:
