Pigment Stability Guide How to Prevent Floating and Flooding in Paints Floating and flooding are paint defects where pigments separate, migrate or appear unevenly distributed in the coating film. These issues can cause shade variation, patchy color, poor appearance and inconsistent batch performance. Suitable wetting, dispersing and pigment stabilization additives help reduce these problems. Request […]
Coating Surface Defect Guide How to Prevent Orange Peel in Coatings Orange peel is a common coating surface defect where the dried film looks uneven, textured or similar to the surface of an orange. It can affect gloss, smoothness, appearance and perceived coating quality. The right flow and leveling additive, rheology balance and application control […]
Coating Surface Defect Guide How to Solve Craters and Pinholes in Coatings Craters and pinholes are common coating surface defects that can affect appearance, protection, adhesion and film quality. These defects are often linked to foam, air entrapment, poor wetting, contamination, incorrect additive selection or poor surface flow. Request Additive Guidance Explore Antifoam Additives Overview […]
Industrial Coating Foam Control How to Prevent Foam in Industrial Coatings Foam in industrial coatings can cause poor surface finish, craters, pinholes, air entrapment, reduced film performance and production delays. The right antifoam or defoamer additive helps control foam during manufacturing, mixing, filling and application. Request Antifoam Guidance Explore Antifoam Additives Overview Why foam control […]
Dispersing Additive Guide How to Choose the Right Dispersing Additive for Coatings Choosing the right dispersing additive is important for pigment wetting, grinding efficiency, color strength, gloss, hiding, viscosity control and long-term coating stability. The correct choice depends on pigment type, resin system, coating medium and final performance requirement. Request Product Guidance Explore Dispersing Additives […]
Adhesion Additives Adhesion Promoter vs Primer: What Coating Manufacturers Should Know Adhesion promoters and primers both help improve coating adhesion, but they are not the same. Understanding the difference helps formulators choose the right approach for metal, plastic, glass, wood, concrete and other difficult substrates. Request Product Guidance Explore Adhesion Promoters Overview Why adhesion support […]
Industrial Foam Control Silicone vs Non-Silicone Antifoam for Industrial Coatings Choosing between silicone and non-silicone antifoam is an important decision in industrial coating formulation. The right foam control additive can reduce foam, microfoam, craters and pinholes without affecting gloss, leveling, recoating or surface appearance. Request Product Guidance Explore Antifoam for Coatings Overview Why antifoam selection […]
Foam Control Additives Antifoam vs Defoamer: What Is the Difference in Coatings? Foam is one of the most common formulation and application problems in paints and coatings. Understanding the difference between antifoam and defoamer additives helps coating manufacturers choose the right foam control solution for better surface finish, processing stability and coating quality. Request Product […]
Flow and Leveling Additives for Coatings Flow and Leveling Additives for Coatings: What They Are and Why They Matter Flow and leveling additives for coatings help improve wet film movement, surface smoothness, appearance, gloss, and defect control. They are especially important in industrial coatings, paints, and inks where surface finish and application consistency directly affect […]
Antifoam for Coatings Antifoam for Coatings: How to Choose the Right One for Water-Based and Solvent-Based Systems Choosing the right antifoam for coatings is important for controlling foam during production, filling, storage, and application while maintaining surface finish, gloss, leveling, film stability, and overall coating performance.
