Why are there so many different commercial dispersants to choose from? If there is no affinity between the anchor groups of the dispersant and the anchor site of the solid particles, bonding fails, and the dispersant can’t play its role in the formulation. Chemicals functional groups (anchor sites) at the surface of pigments and fillers vary a lot. Some are surface-treated, and others are not. So that proper anchoring can take place, dispersing agents also come with a great variety of functional groups. To name a few, you will find grades with amine, amide, sulfonate, or phosphate anchoring groups. On the other hand, the dispersant tail must be soluble in the paint medium and compatible with the binder. Again, depending on the binder and solvent characteristics, formulators need different solutions #additivemanufacturing #paintsandcoatings

Formulation data of grease: A grease is typically made up from the following combination of components: • Base stock 75–95% • Thickener 5–20% • Additives 0–15% As with fluid lubricants, blends of base stocks as well as pre-mixed additive packages or additive components can be used. Typical additives employed are antiwear, rust inhibitors and oxidation inhibitors. Depending on the application involved, metal passivators, polymers (viscosity modifier or tackifier) and extreme pressure additives may be used . In reality, considerable formulation science is required to achieve all of the performance features of premium greases.  #greaseformulation #lubricatingoil #petroleumengineer #exxonmobil

Generally,the solid-liquid separator has 2 different screen tubes.Short one is extrusion part,the long tube is dehydration part. Actually,extrusion tube will suffers greater abrasion.So it need to be replaced more frequently than dehydration tube. It is crucial to prioritize selecting a screen tube that has a uniform slot and sturdy structure. This will significantly reduce the risk of clogging and cracking, allowing for a steady and efficient flow rate. By achieving consistently efficient flow, to achieve the ultimate goal of the highest level of dehydration. Therefore, choosing a reliable and well-designed screen tube is extremely important. In addition,stainless steel wedge wire screen cylinder is also used in food processing, waste water filtration, pulp and paper as well as mineral processing applications. https://lnkd.in/eNm3TW3q #food #beverage #pharmaceutical #chemical #metallurgy #plastic #polymer #melt #filter #pleated #sintered #dustremoval #air #water #petroleum #agricaulture #oil #fueloil #lubricants #glass #waste #power

Diving into Melamine Magic!   When you see a sleek coating or durable plastic, what's the first thing that comes to your mind? Yes, it's Melamine.   In terms of the resin industry, melamine formaldehyde condensation polymerization can be achieved with melamine resin. It can be used in the plastics and coating industry, and also in textile technology for fold and shrink-proof treatment agents.   In the coatings industry, the melamine-modified resin can bring bright colors, good durability, hardness, and a complete coating of gold.   In the organic chemical industry, melamine can be used as an organic elemental analysis reagent. It's also utilized for the synthesis of organic and resin tanning agents in leather processing and as a filling agent.   Please check our website for more info: https://lnkd.in/gaqGRkPd   #TJCY #Melamine #Plasticsindustry #Coatingindustry #Chemicals #Industrialchemicals

Discover the Power of MATECEL HPMC! The HPMC from MATECEL is often used as a thickener in building applications as it prevents segregation and improves the cohesion of the formulation components.   Understanding the viscosity dynamics of MATECEL is the key. It depends on the degree of polymerization, contraction, temperature, shear rate, concentration of dissolved salts, and modification.   In dry mixing production and mortar, the thickening power of pure grades is related to their solution viscosity. On the other hand, the mortar viscosity of modified grades is not necessarily proportional to the solution viscosity.   https://www.hpmc.com/ #Matecel #HPMC #Thickeningeffect #Cellulose #Chemicals #Mortar #Viscosity

Wacker Chemical Corporation USA Where would we be without coating additives? While additives typically constitute 5% or less of a coating they have a significant impact on performance. Silicone additives support coating functions. For example; thickening agents and rheology modifiers, defoaming, adhesion promoters, etc... In addition, Silicones intrinsic value of weatherability (UV and hydrophobic properties) help maintain a structures long lasting durability against the elements. #coating #additive #wacker #silicone #silane #siloxane #hydrophobic #uv Daniel Calimente Timothy McCormack
