in the industry, along with descriptions of each. This was simply
not available back then. Several years ago, when we first put the
Handbook together, it was easier to do than it is today, as addi-
tives fit nicely into defined categories. With the movement toward
waterborne and other low-VOC technologies, however, the world
of additives is rapidly changing. Many additives today are part
of the polymer itself, and so many additives are multifunctional,
making it difficult to categorize. The advent of nanotechnology
has added another dimension to the world of additives.
Because of new technology and the importance of all of our
features we chose to print just a few pages of the Additives Hand-
book definitions so that we would be able to provide you, our
readers, with the latest in new technology via the features. The
Handbook may be found in its entirety on our website, www.pci-
mag.com. Also, it is highly recommended you purchase the CD
of the complete Additives Handbook by contacting Andrea Kropp
directly at [email protected].
As always we have updated the Handbook with the best available
current information we have regarding the multitude of additives
used in the coatings industry. This is an extensive compilation, and
the CD is of great benefit to all formulators, manufacturers and appli-
cators of coatings, in addition to resource centers such as libraries and
educational facilities. Many ‘seniors’ in the industry have remarked
how beneficial this tool would have been when they first joined the
industry years ago – and I for one wholeheartedly agree.
Also, be sure to read the liquid glass coating technology article
this month (page 24). The liquid glass attributes have resulted in
the coating being regarded as one of the most important surface
coating technologies to have emerged in recent years. And this is
why I always get excited and it never gets old!!

I recently became aware of this new technology,
and the project manager at Nanopool graciously
extended to me the liberty of taking previously
published material and presenting it in PCI. The

journals in the healthcare industry.

being regarded as one of the most important surface coat-
ing technologies to have emerged in recent years.
Apart from a select group of professionals, few people
know about this stunning technology. If one walks around
the Ataturk’s Mausoleum in Ankara you are walking on
it. If you visit certain hospitals in the United Kingdom you
are touching it. If you see an unusually clean train you are
probably looking at it, and if you wonder how your white

The liquid glass attributes have resulted in the coating manipulation of the sol-gel process. This process is a wet
chemical technique (chemical solution deposition). While
the process has been known for years, Nanopool refined it
to create “liquid glass” or “glass in a bottle”. Molecules of
SiO2 (pure quartz glass) are isolated and held in a solvent
of either water or ethanol. This “solution” can then be
wiped or sprayed onto most any surface. The subsequent
coating forms a layer of pure glass, which is approximately
100 nanometers thick.
The water-based solution is designed for absorbent
surfaces such as stone, wood and fabrics, whereas the
alcohol-based solution is designed for metal, glass, plastic
and painted surfaces. Almost all surfaces can be coated
with SiO2 NLT, with the exception of Teflon or other
non-stick coatings. Additionally, all surfaces must be
completely clean prior to application, as a finger print
can be 100 times thicker than the coating. There are no
polymeric binding agents used in the solution – only SiO2
and water or ethanol.
It is believed that Van der Waals forces enable the SiO2
layer to polymerize rapidly and adhere to the surface.
Keep in mind that nano-scale technologies perform very
differently than their micro- or macro-scale counterparts
– hence the unusual characteristics and benefits.

metals, fabrics, stone, plastic, food packaging, operating theatres,
skin, computers, food processing areas, cars, shipping, aircraft); in

coated with polyurea after 3 and 6 hours. This indicates
that a large window for topcoat application exists.

Conclusions
The use of a primer under a polyurethane, polyurea or
hybrid coating is a critical step that can enhance the perfor-
mance of the coating system, especially when encountering
a difficult substrate. Not only can the primer improve adhe-
sion to the substrate, it can also eliminate the possibility of
moisture contamination during the topcoat application.
Since it is more convenient to use a one-component prod-
uct in the field, Huntsman has developed a one-component
moisture-cure MDI, SUPRASEC 9611, which has low vis-
cosity, low foaming characteristics and is VOC free. n

Additive for Waterborne
Coatings and Inks
Eliminates Regulatory/Performance Trade-Offs

A dvances in waterborne coatings tech-

nology in developed countries around
the world have been driven by a com-
bination of regulatory restrictions and
consumer expectations. Within the past
few years, consumers in emerging markets have begun to
demand more environmentally friendly products.
Some regulations in the Western world, such as the
European Union’s REACH (Registration, Evaluation,
have a large impact on technology development around
the world. Many manufacturers in India, where there is
not yet regulation of VOCs in paint, have been proactive in
introducing more sustainable technologies in response to
growing domestic demand for greener products.
Along with this growing expectation for more environ-
mentally friendly products, consumers expect increasing
levels of performance from paint. Waterborne coatings,
however, have posed significant challenges to formulators.

When paint is applied to very low-surface-energy, materi-

To address these issues, formulators have turned to

to suit your precise needs.

Münzing. Taking the broadest range of defoamer chemistries and adding

unlimited technical assistance to deliver the ultimate, customized solution.

With the broadest range of chemistries at our fingertips, we conduct unlimited testing so that you get the quintessential defoamer for
your paint and coating formulations. What’s more, our tailored approach applies to companies of all sizes – small, medium and large.
