Conference Paper: A defect is not an effect!
This webinar was organised by UL prospector in November 2021 and discusses the typical defects found in architectural coatings and offers product recommendations to solve these issues.
KRONOS 4045
KRONOS 4045 is an aqueous rutile pigment suspension for universal use in waterborne coatings and in the paper industry. It improves the brightness and opacity of interior emulsion paints and paper coatings and gives paper very high wet and dry opacity when added directly to the pulp in the wet end. Furthermore, it is also approved as a colorant for food packaging with indirect food contact

ECS 2021: Protecting your walls – novel solutions for interior & exterior wall paints
Wall paints are a very important application within Architectural Coatings - and renewing them is quite laborious. Optimizing the resistance to damage and wear leads to more economical and sustainable paint formulations, as it makes renovation of e.g. façades with the costly installation of scaffolding redundant. One particular headache for freshly painted façades can be the formation of so called snail trails causing an uneven appearance when there is high humidity or rain. New specialty fillers help to prevent these problems and allow to formulate very long-lasting beautiful films when formulated e.g. with optimized hydrophobing agents. For interior coatings, innovative fillers also play a major role for optimization of mechanical resistance e.g., burnish phenomena - in addition, the use of suitable surface-active agents facilitates the optimization of scuff and chemical resistance. Studies of film formation help to understand and optimize both interior and exterior formulations.
