Matting agents are added to wood coatings to help achieve a natural wood look, but traditional matting agents also reduce a coating’s chemical resistance, transparency, and durability. The result is a final product that may look great in-store but can’t withstand the wear and tear of everyday use. For formulators looking to provide end-users with the optimal combination of performance properties at a reduced cost compared to industry alternatives,🪵 SYLOID® AQ Matting Agents can help achieve a natural wood look without sacrificing coating quality and integrity.

Connect with Grace at the Latin American Refining Technology Conference (LARTC) from September 3-5 in Cartagena, Colombia! Stefan Brandt, Market Development Director Energy Transition, FCC, will be on hand to discuss the critical issue of plastics recycling when he presents on the co-processing of chemical recycling products in fluid catalytic cracking units. While mechanical recycling requires a high purity of plastic waste, the collection and sorting of mixed plastics makes advanced chemical recycling another important route to help generate value from plastics recycling and produce lower carbon intensity products. During Stefan’s presentation, learn more about a successful collaboration between Grace and a European refining company with assets in Latin America to develop plastics recycling risk assessments and the predict the impact of co-processing on FCC yields, product qualities, and overall economics. Join the conversation. Book your tickets now: https://lnkd.in/dsPwfww #LARTC2024 #EnergyTransition #ChemicalRecycling #Refining #Innovation #FCCTechnology

Dirt buildup on light-colored surfaces isn’t just an eyesore--it can actually impact the temperature inside a building! While white roofs and walls can reduce indoor temperatures in the summer by as much as 30%, dirt and grime can reverse the effect. For coatings formulators, incorporating colloidal silica into architectural and industrial coatings can help: - improve dirt pickup resistance - keep paint fresh to maintain its aesthetic appeal - reduce 🔥 heat absorption - ensure that heavy equipment paint withstands the 💪 toughest conditions Read our blog to learn more about the benefits of colloidal silica: https://lnkd.in/ew6kH4Sp #Coatings #Paints #NanoTechnology #SurfaceProtection #durability
