The surface tension of a coating is a fundamental property that describes how the molecules or particles at a coating’s surface interact with each other. It is typically measured in dynes per centimeter (dyn/cm) or millinewtons per meter (mN/m) where higher surface tension values indicate stronger cohesive forces at the surface. In the context of...
With respect to print and graphics, the processes of laminating and coating have vital roles in enhancing the durability, aesthetics and functionality of various materials. Both processes offer protective layers, but there are important differences between laminating and coating that merit exploration. Herein, we delve into these distinctions to shed light on their unique characteristics...
Additives are an essential part of coating applications for many manufacturing processes and end products. If added to a formulation, a solvent can manipulate properties to provide a ‘customised’ coating solution. This action results in additional functionality that many alternative coating technologies cannot match in terms of manufacturing capabilities or the specific performance properties of...
Nitrile adhesives, also known as acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) adhesives, are widely used in various industrial adhesive bonding processes due to their unique properties and capabilities. Nitriles offer several advantages that make them suitable for challenging environmental conditions where other polymer based adhesive formulations might fail. Let’s take a brief look at these performance properties and...
