Polyurethanes

Function and appearance: No matter if you Thanks to their enormous diversity, polyurethanes are the binders of choice for formulating high-performance coating systems. Keep track of the latest trends and developments in this field: in our new EC Dossier, we have compiled the top technical papers on polyurethanes for coatings that have been published in EC Journal over the past three years.

Rheology

From production to end use application all raw materials in a coatings system should remain uniformly mixed. Additionally they need to remain stable during pumping processes and storage as well as after application. Thus, rheological measurements of paints and coatings are crucial for evaluating their quality. This European Coatings Dossier features a full package on rheology.
