CTT Delivers Great Content to Chemists The 2011 Coatings Trends & Technologies (CTT) conference, a technical symposium organized by PCI Magazine and the Chicago Society for Coatings Technology, took place September 13-14 at the Doubletree Hotel in Oak Brook, IL. Attendees and exhibitors alike raved about the new, expanded venue for the event, which included two large ballrooms for the double-track sessions, as well as a 7500-squarefoot ballroom for the exhibitors to display their products. The conference had 248 registered attendees and 49 exhibitors, both up from last year. This year’s keynote address was by Dr. Richard Jenkins, Global Group President, Arkema Coating Resins. Jenkins’ presentation was titled Coating Resins and Additives – a New Global Perspective. He discussed how the coatings industry is growing globally, but not uniformly, and that growth drivers vary according to region. The environment and performance are driving the industry in mature markets, while population and construction growth are the driving forces in emerging countries. In addition, coating growth is greater than the GDP, and as economies emerge, the need for coatings and technology is going to increase. Jenkins stated that for suppliers, an effective response to market trends requires balancing global leverage with regional needs. Some issues are discreet by region, such as the substrate to be painted, weather conditions, latitude (UV intensity), market size and growth rates, economics and personal income, target aesthetics, and paint seasonality. Global, or multiregional, factors include technology platforms, paint manufacturers and commodity ingredients. The key, according to Jenkins, is to balance the global with the regional – to bring global technology and marketing leverage to all customers, but focused to their regional needs.

Jenkins also included a variety of interesting statistics about the global coatings market, including the preferred technology mix by region (solventborne, waterborne, powder and UV), the preferred paint sheen by region, as well as information on the volatile hydrocarbon feedstock costs and the resulting influence on resin selection. Over the course of the 1 1/2-day event, 31 technical presentations were delivered. Some of the topics included trend-setting pigment technologies, accelerated weathering, a new freeze/thaw highthroughput test method, silicon carbide “whiskers” for tough polymeric coatings, and nano-additives. Attendees that visited all 49 booths were entered into a raffle for three prizes: Michael Misiaszek, Lab Chemist at TPR2, won a $50 gift card; Keith Quisenberry, Senior Product Development Chemist at Franklin International, won a Wi-Fi Kindle; and Charles Billstrand, Senior R&D Chemist at GTI Chemical Solutions, won a 47” Vizio HDTV. It was great to meet with both coatings suppliers and manufacturers at this event, and to hear about some exciting new technology. Look for articles in upcoming issues based on presentations given at CTT. Mark your calendars now for September 11-12, 2012, at the same excellent venue, so that you can be sure to be a part of this growing annual conference!

Q

I am formulating waterborne alkyd coatings and need defoamer additives to improve my coating manufacturing, application and performance properties. What can you suggest?

Waterborne alkyd coatings are gaining popularity due to their enhanced properties, green chemistry and low VOCs. However, like most resins, waterborne alkyd coatings require specific defoamers to achieve optimal performance. Defoamers reduce or eliminate foam and help avoid production, application and applied coating problems. Our studies demonstrate that Surfy¯nol® DF-58 and DF-66 silicone defoamers (used at 0.05% to 0.5% of total formula) and Surfy¯nol DF-75 organic oil defoamer (used at 0.2% to 1%) provide excellent compatibility and defoaming. These additives enhance gloss of high-gloss coatings and provide excellent substrate coverage, appearance and protection. In wood coatings, such as clear varnishes and stains, they promote complete coverage, smooth finish, and excellent gloss, clarity and distinctness of image. In industrial coatings, such as metal primers, they eliminate defects such as pinholes, craters and other defects that can lead to corrosion, disbondment and other failures.

Updated Study of Pigments Market Now Available KONSTANZ, Germany – Ceresana Research has released a newly updated, in-depth study on the global pigments market, which states that pigment revenues will increase to more than $45 billion by 2018. In 2010, the Asia-Pacific region was responsible for 45 percent of the global demand for pigments. The second-largest market was North America, followed by Western Europe. Ceresana anticipates that the Asia-Pacific region will continue to significantly influence market dynamics in the future. The rapidly developing emerging markets have the greatest growth potential, above all China and India. Moreover, South America and the Middle East register above-average growth rates of 3.6 percent to 4.4 percent. Iron oxides and organic pigments record the highest growth rates in North America and Western Europe. In emerging markets, the demand for carbon black pigments is especially increasing. Ceresana expects that titanium dioxide will have a share of somewhat more than 60 percent of the global pigment market in 2018.

Researchers Unlock Mystery of “Coffee Ring Effect” ARLINGTON, VA – If you’ve ever spilled a drop of coffee on a surface, you might have noticed the curious way the color concentrates at the edges when the coffee dries. This is known as the “coffee ring effect”, and recently, researchers have determined that the shape of the particles in the liquid is an important factor in creating this pattern. The research results could eventually translate into new techniques or formulations for product coatings, or better inks and paints. This work, published in the August 18 issue of the journal Nature, was performed by Arjun Yodh and colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania. “We found that if you change the shape of the particles in the solution, the coffee ring effect goes away, and you end up with a uniform coating,” said Peter Yunker, a graduate student in Yodh’s lab.

Pigments have always been used primarily as colorants. However, secondary properties are gaining importance, for example protection from UV rays or corrosion prevention. Product innovations primarily aim at organic, effect and special pigments. The focus is on higher color intensity, color variety and additional properties, such as self-cleaning and antibacterial characteristics, insulating properties, or the reflection of infrared light. For additional information, visit www. ceresana.com/en/market-studies/additives/pigments-new/.

As the liquid in a droplet evaporates, the edges remain fixed, so as the volume decreases, fluid flows outward from the middle of the droplet to its edges. This flow carries particles to the edges, and round particles at the edge will pack closely. By the time all of the liquid in the droplet evaporates, most of the particles will be at the edge, producing the coffee ring effect. Both the shape that liquid droplets take and the way the shape changes as the droplets evaporate are greatly influenced by surface tension at the air-liquid interface. This tension is a property of the interface based on how the molecules in the liquid interact with one another versus the air. For example, liquids with a high surface tension, like water, may form a raised droplet, because the molecules are very attracted to one another and not so attracted to the air. In contrast, liquids with lower surface tension, like alcohols, are more likely to form flat spots instead of curved droplets.

I N DUSTRY NEWS The Yodh group found that elongated particles in a liquid behave differently than round ones because of the way they are affected by the surface tension of the air-liquid interface. “If you make the particles elongated or ellipsoidal, they deform the air-water interface, which causes the particles to strongly attract one another.” explained Yunker. This clumping changes the way the particles distribute themselves within the droplet. Even if the clumped ellipsoidal particles reach the edge of the droplet, they do not pack as closely as round particles. The loosely packed clumps eventually spread to cover the entire surface, filling it so an even coating of particles is deposited when evaporation is complete. “This work gives us a new idea about how to make a uniform coating, relatively simply. If you change the particle shape, you can change the way a particle is deposited. You can also make mixtures. In some cases, even just a small amount of ellipsoids can change the way the particles deposit when they dry,” said Yodh.

NDSU Bio-Research Promises Game-Changing Technology FARGO, ND – Several agricultural crops could play a significant role in bio-based resins and coatings recently developed by researchers at North Dakota State University (NDSU). Scientists at NDSU have developed bio-based resins that may prove to be a game changer in coatings and resin technology. The NDSU researchers have developed a family of resins from renewable raw materials, creating resins that eliminate hazardous components such as formaldehyde and bisphenol-A. The resins are based on sucrose and vegetable oils and can be varied to perform in many applications and industries, according to Dean Webster, Professor in the NDSU Department of Coatings and Polymeric Materials. The resins developed by the NDSU research group can be made from sugar beets, plus oils from soybeans, flax and sunflowers. When cured, the patent-pending resins show significantly

improved properties over current biobased materials and processes, mechanical properties comparable to petrochemical-based materials, and dramatically increased renewable material content. Webster’s research group found that the epoxidized sucrose ester resins they developed result in materials that are two to four times times as functional as vegetable-oil-based resins.
