Our Winter 20/21 Series of OCCA Weekly Webinars continues with "New Rheological Additive for Water-based Coatings Compared with Existing Coatings" presented by Harold Faber of Faber&VanderEnde.
This webinar is free to attend, simply register below and you'll receive further details & joining instructions in due course.
Abstract:
In this presentation, the theories and mechanisms of thickening formulations, as well as the causes of thixotropic and pseudoplastic behaviour, will be discussed. A review of the commonly used rheological agents in today's market will consider clay materials (for example, magnesium aluminium silicate, attapulgite, bentonite, hectorite and sepiolite) and organic thickening agents (for example, cellulose ethers and acrylic thickeners) - their strong and weak points
