FORMULATION AND APPLICATION GUIDELINES FOR THE USE OF NEAR INFRARED MANAGEMENT COLORANTS
Near infrared (NIR) reflective coatings produced with innovative pigment chemistries can minimize the heat build of substrates with aesthetically appealing colors. In order to successfully maximize the performance of NIR management colorants containing these pigments, one needs to be cognizant of that the coating is only one component of the entire thermodynamic system that leads to heat build. This discussion provides some insight into this topic and offers some basic guidelines for formulators and product managers to consider that can help to ensure the maximum performance potential in a given application is attained.

PNWSCT is happy to promote the next Eugene-area technical presentation over happy hour & dinner to accommodate geography and schedules. This will be executed as ‘normal’ PNWSCT event (see below). Please RSVP to myself and/or Molly Wynveen (CC’d) whom will be leading the event!
We’re excited to bring a technical presentation from Croda—abstract and bio to come with Nick Speller. Nick is the Key Account Manager for Croda’s SMART Materials Group (Coatings/Adhesives Additives & Polymer Additives).
- Date: Tuesday, June 19th
- Where: TBD—most likely Claim 52’s Taproom
- Time: Evening event from 5-8 PM (check-in from 5-5:30 PM with presentation start anticipated at 5:30 PM)
- Cost: Free for manufacturing members, $20 for retirees, $25 for all others
Join the PNWSCT and the PAC (Packaging Association of Canada) in a game of golf.
Proceeds from the golf will be going to BC Children’s hospital once again!
Even if you do not golf… consider sponsoring a hole like our current sponsors…

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.
