You know each issue of PCI that we finish I think is
the best one until the next month. I am always so
pleased with the features, the new technology and
all of the technological changes I see in the indus-
try particularly when you have been around a
while you can look back and see significant change
over time. I have the advantage of reading a great
number of submitted papers and company literature
each day, and it is always exciting. Tremendous
technology is used within a coating that the average
person on the street has no idea about. There are sig-
nificant formulation differences between an interior
house paint and an aircraft coating that must with-
stand extreme temperature and flexibility/expansion changes in a
short time frame. Or the auto paint that must have that showroom
finish and be expected to always appear that way or the marine
paint that is exposed to salt water and hot sun but better not fade or
peel. And those are but a very, very few examples. Each of the main
components of the coating is important, and sometimes the small-
est amounts the additives are the most important of all.
If we could print the entire PCI issue this month it
would be almost 200 pages long. That is because of
the Additives Handbook which is dear to me, being
one of the co-authors. Back when I first joined the
coatings industry, there were limited resources for
technical and instructional coatings information.
Most of us coming into this industry needed basic
education we had good backgrounds in chemistry
or other sciences but most were not trained in coat-
ings. So we were hungry to learn but available
print information was lean. We learned on the job
from experienced formulators and plant personnel
in the companies. We had no internet to search, but
we did have a few journals to read, and we had a basic monograph
series on various aspects of coatings (called the Federation Series
on Coatings Technology), which was printed by people of knowl-
edge who were members of the FSCT. Most of these were published
prior to the 1970s and a few in the early 70s.
We would have been happy to have a source like the current
Additives Handbook, which is a compilation of the additives used
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 kroppa@pcimag.com.
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!!

CLEVELAND World demand for archi-
tectural paint is forecast to rise 3.6 per-
cent per year through 2013 to 22.8 mil-
lion metric tons, valued at $51 billion.
Growth will slow in comparison to the
performance of the 2003 to 2008 period
due to a deceleration in global build-
ing construction growth through 2013.
Gains will nevertheless remain strong
by long-term historical standards. These
and other trends are presented in World
Architectural Paint, a new study from
The Freedonia Group Inc., a Cleveland-
based industry research firm.
As was the case over the past decade,
the most rapid gains will arise in the
worlds emerging markets, most promi-
nently in Asia. Gains in Asia are based
primarily on continued healthy expan-
sion in the large Chinese and Indian mar-
kets. Although Japan is projected to post
gains that will significantly lag behind
the global average through 2013, the
countrys architectural paint market will
see a reversal of the declines experienced
during the 1998-2008 period.
North America will post slightly above-
average gains through 2013. Going for-
ward, the housing and mortgage crisis
that has plagued the United States since
2006 will subside, providing opportuni-
ties for paint sales to the new-homes mar-
ket. Moreover, sales to the much larger
home repainting segment will also ben-
efit as sales of existing homes improve,
because existing homes are often repaint-
ed when they are to be sold.
In 2008, Western Europe accounted
for 21 percent of total architectural paint
demand. Western Europes share of the
global market will continue to slip as the
region registers weak gains, due to below-
average economic and building-construc-
tion-expenditure growth, mortgage-
sector weaknesses in some constituent
nations, and stagnant regional popula-
tion gains. Nevertheless, Western Europe
will remain the worlds leading regional
net exporter of architectural paint, due
largely to the presence of Germany.
Architectural Paint Demand to
Reach 22.8 Million Metric Tons
Additives Consumption Study Released
ELMWOOD PARK, NJ According to Global Coating & Ink Addi-
tives, a new study by the consulting firm Kusumgar, Nerlfi &
Growney, consumption of the five leading additives for coatings
and inks was 1.72 billion pounds, worth $3.47 billion, in 2009.
Volume was down 10 percent compared to 2008, with North
American and European usage down the most. Additive con-
sumption in the Asia-Pacific region was off a more modest three
percent, as growth in China and India partially offset the declines
in Japan and South Korea. A five percent annual rate of growth is
forecast for global additive consumption through 2014.
Rheology modifiers are the leading additive type with 39
percent of the 2009 dollars. Cellulosics, water-based synthetics,
fumed silicas and organoclays are the leading rheology modifiers.
Foam-control additives edged out dispersants for second in value
in 2009 with the bulk used in water-based paints. Dispersants
were 17 percent of the dollars and range from highly specialized
polymeric types to higher-volume polyacrylic acid varieties for
architectural paints.
Slip-and-rub additives were fourth in value and are comprised
of wax products and silicones. Wetting agents were 11 percent of
the volume and 12 percent of the value in 2009.

New EPA Rules Regarding Lead Paint Now in Effect
WASHINGTON As of April 22, 2010, the U.S. Environmental Pro-
tection Agency requires that renovations and repairs of pre-1978
housing must now be conducted using safe practices to protect chil-
dren and pregnant women from exposure to lead-based paint.
The Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule requires con-
tractors to be trained and certified in lead-safe work practices. The
new rule requires that renovation firms must be certified by the
EPA, individuals must be trained in lead-safe work practices, and
that all those providing training must be EPA accredited.

PITTSBURGH PPG Industries indus-
trial coatings business has opened the
Shmaze Color Design Studio sponsored
by PPG Trendcast. The facility, near
Irvine, CA, is devoted to helping manu-
facturers and industrial designers
accelerate color design and proto-
type development.
This new facility enables manu-
facturers and industrial designers
from around the world to come into
our workshop and walk out with
production-ready parts and coat-
ings that can run almost anywhere
in the world, said Richard Zoulek,
PPG General Manager for Strate-
gic Markets. For design-intensive
organizations like consumer-electronics
companies, that process can take three-
to-six months due to logistical challeng-
es. When you work with PPG, it can be
reduced to days.
Michael Shamassian, Principal of the
Shmaze Color Design Studio, said the
facilitys core mission is problem solv-
ing. We have a full-service production
line with robots, tooling, molders and
other equipment that enables us to
work through production and qual-
ity issues in real time, and to prove
the viability of a coating in a matter
of hours or days.
The Shmaze Color Design Studio
was created to serve manufacturers
and industrial designers in industries
such as consumer electronics, auto-
motive parts and accessories, beauty
products, appliances, sports and rec-
reation equipment, and aerospace.

Dispersion
The ultimate in high speed
powder dispersion.
An intense vacuum draws powders including silica,
thickeners and pigments into the mix chamber of the
SLIM Solids/Liquid Injection Manifold. They are injected
through a ported rotor directly into the high shear zone
and dispersed instantly.
Nothing boosts production faster.
The SLIM powder dispersion system is the worlds
most efficient and reliable device for dispersing
powders into a liquid stream.
With this technology, proven on process lines
around the world, SLIM routinely cuts process
times by 80% or more.
See the new SLIM video online.
See for yourself how SLIM outperforms eductors,
turbines, propellers and other rotor/stator mixers.
Visit www.PowderInjection.com.
Contact Ross to arrange a no-charge
demonstration in the Ross Test &
Development Center or in your plant.
SLIM will boost production and operating efficiency.
Liquid Inlet
Powder Inlet
SLIM eliminates the clogging and poor dispersion quality
associated with eductor-based systems. It also eliminates
the need for an auxiliary pump in most applications.
Operation is simple and the portable inline SLIM easily
serves multiple process lines.

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
following information is taken from the Nano-
pool website, press releases and an editorial written for
journals in the healthcare industry.
Nanopool GmbH is recognized as a world leader in
SiO
2
-Liquid Glass

Nano Layering technology. Its award-
winning liquid glass coatings allow the end user to
apply a nano-scale layer of super-durable, super-phobic,
highly flexible glass to almost any surface. This technol-
ogy is revolutionizing how we manage our environment.
The liquid glass attributes have resulted in the coating
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 Ataturks 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
settee looks so clean, you may be sitting on it. All of these
surfaces have been coated with invisible glass.
SiO
2
NLT
The SiO
2
nano layering technology (NLT) evolved from
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
SiO
2
(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 SiO
2
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 SiO
2

and water or ethanol.
It is believed that Van der Waals forces enable the SiO
2

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.

Liquid Glass Coating Technology
J UNE 2010
|

The glass coating, being approximately 100 nanome-
ters thick, is completely undetectable, is food safe and
environmentally friendly and also a winner of the U.K.
Green Apple Award.
Application Markets
The automotive market is embracing the technology for
coating fabrics, windscreens, painted surfaces and alloy
wheels. Marine coatings, including anti-fouling, will soon
be available. Applications in healthcare and food production
environments are already advanced. There is no doubt that
there is tremendous benefit to the clean room industry.
For fabrics, liquid glass surrounds each individual
filament within the fiber with the invisible coating.
This protective layer of f lexible pure glass ensures that
soiling agents are unable to effectively adhere to the
surface. Liquids such as coffee, red wine, etc., simply
roll off treated textiles.
Many companies all over Austria have discovered the
advantages of nanotechnology and rely on the experience
and the unique sol-gel technology of Nanopool. In our
recently reopened restaurant in Wals near Salzburg, Nano-
pool has refined all surfaces by means of coating, says Josef
Klingler, Manager of McDonalds Salzburg. This coating is
effective, durable and anti-microbial. This means no more
adhesion of soil, long-lasting protection against adhesion of
mould bacteria, and considerably reduced use of chemicals
for cleaning. By the way, no follow-up treatment will be
necessary after accurate cleaning.
The coatings are now recognized as being suitable for
agricultural and in-vivo application. Vines coated with
SiO
2
do not suffer from mildew, and coated seeds grow
more rapidly without the need for anti-fungal chemicals.
This will result in farmers enjoying massive yields.
For in-vivo application items such as stents can be coated,
which will create anti-sticking features. Catheters and
sutures will also cease to be problematic in the future.
In essence, this is one of the most significant new tech-
nologies to have emerged over recent years. This is a rather
bold claim but it is made with justification as Nanopool
provides a technology that allows the user to create long-
term, easy-to-clean, bacteria-free surfaces using an ultra
environmentally friendly and low-cost technology.

Key Point Summary of SiO
2
NLT
SiO
2
(silicon dioxide) is the chemical term for quartz glass.
Liquid glass is invisible to the naked eye, as it is only 100 nm thick
(approximately 500 times thinner than a human hair). The coating
does not alter the appearance or texture of the treated surface.
SiO
2
liquid glass can be applied to all surfaces, (including glass,
metals, fabrics, stone, plastic, food packaging, operating theatres,
skin, computers, food processing areas, cars, shipping, aircraft); in
fact the list is almost endless.
Liquid glass is applied by spraying, dipping or wiping.
It is food safe and mucosa friendly, and has no negative
physiological impact.
It is super-phobic (rejects all soiling elements, including solvents,
acids and alkalis (0.5 pH to 12.5 pH)
It is highly durable; domestic quality variants last approximately
one year per application. Professional variants last 10 years. Certain
treatments last even longer. (The coating will not decay and is only
removed by chemical or mechanical action.)
It is heat tolerant (-150 to +450 C) and so can be applied to
ovens, freezers, wash basins etc. It removes the need for oven-
cleaning chemicals; simply clean ovens with water and a cloth. It is
UV-stable, chemically inert and cell neutral and so it can be used
for in-vivo application.
It is particle free i.e., does not contain any potentially dangerous
nano particles.
It is flexible (200%) and breathable at the molecular level and so it
can be applied to wood, fabrics, stone work and statues, as these
areas need to breathe and expand /contract.
It can be applied with great ease, no special equipment is needed.
All surfaces become easy to clean, and in most instances cleaning
can be carried out with water alone. This is the case within
butchery departments, where NP-coated areas are cleaner after
being washed with water than those areas which have been
cleaned with a chlorinated agent. Savings of 30% on cleaning are
the norm. (Audited figures.)
Treated surfaces become "bio-static " through ionic exchange (this
creates an environment that will not support bacterial growth)
and so the treatments are ideal for sinks, taps, food-prep areas,
nurseries, door handles, toilets, cash registers, conveyor belts,
gyms, schools, hospitals, chiller cabinets etc. Nanopool supplies
an anti-bacterial variant, which satisfies ASTMS E 2180.The anti-
bacterial variant kills bacteria for the life of the coating. Most anti-
bacteria treatments are short lived or exceptionally expensive.
The company offers savings of over 3000% on items such as anti-
bacterial light switches and shower trays.
This technology is new to the UK, but the company already
works with some of the worlds largest organizations. They also
treat trains (London-Midland), both inside and out, Kempinski
hotels, Spar food processing factories, McDonalds (Austria
and Germany), bakeries, health care environments etc. These
products are now being applied in some of Europes leading
supermarkets. The company has recently coated Ataturks
Mausoleum in Ankara (750,000m
2
).
A range of specialist products is provided, such as anti-corrosion,
anti-graffiti, anti-fingerprint, skin protection, cork protection and
variants for plants.

O
ptically transparent solids have numer-
ous applications and have experienced
widespread use for centuries. Glass was
the predominant material over most of
that time, with additives often included
to engineer specific properties. A wide range of refractive
indices and absorption characteristics were eventually
produced. Glass and common metal oxides eventually
spanned the refractive index range from 1.44 (SiO
2
) to 2.7
(TiO
2
). In the modern era, polymers have become a com-
mon alternative to glass in many applications.
Visibly transparent polymers have the advantages of
low cost, processing ease and a wide range of physical
properties. Additionally, polymers exhibit strain behav-
ior that far exceeds the limits of glass. Urethanes and
polycarbonate, in particular, also have very high impact
resistance. However, transparent polymers have a more
limited range of refractive index than glasses and gener-
ally scratch more easily. An inorganic-organic nano-
composite ideally maintains the flexibility, low cost and
processability common with organic polymers, while
extending other material properties beyond the limits
of the host polymer. With proper selection, loading and
surface modification, inorganic nanoparticles can be
used to significantly broaden the engineering potential of
transparent polymers.
Over the past few decades, excitement has built around
these hybrid inorganic-organic materials that can offer
improved mechanical, optical, thermal and electrical
properties. Transparent nanocomposite films on the order
of nanometers to microns have successfully been used
to improve abrasion resistance, alter reflectance and
minimize the UV exposure of substrates. The advantages
of these materials include low processing costs, low pro-
cessing temperatures and extended strain ranges over
ceramic films.
The primary optical property of a material is its complex
index of refraction, which is an engineering constant that
explains the propagation and absorption of electromag-
netic waves through materials and at interfaces. The
design and production of optical filters is mainly accom-
plished through the combination of thin films with unique
refractive indices.
1
These are typically dielectric and metal
films that are almost exclusively deposited using vacuum
deposition. Although these materials have been studied
extensively, they have significant disadvantages related
to the required processing steps and limited mechanical
properties of the resultant films.
Nanocomposites composed of inorganic nanoparticles
embedded in an organic polymer matrix directly address
these issues.
2
The primary challenge for nanocomposites
is to alter the optical properties of a material without
affecting the visible transparence of the final article.
When an electromagnetic wave encounters a boundary
between two materials of discrete refractive index, the
direction of the wave is altered both through reflection
and refraction. This holds true with sub-micron particles,
where the optical dimension (refractive index and diam-
eter) must be engineered so as to not scatter light waves
(scattering decreases transparence). Thus, a homogenous
distribution of discrete, mono-disperse nanoparticles with
dimensions less than 1/10 the wavelength of the encoun-
tered light must occur within these nanocomposites to
ensure high visible transparence.
The focus of our research for the past several years has
been spin coating inorganic-organic nanocomposite films
that are used on visibly transparent, flexible substrates.
The engineering limits of polymers have been extended

through incorporation of nanoparticles that make up over
half the volume of the composite. Spin coating is practi-
cally limited to substrates that cover less than a square
meter. It will be required to coat larger areas to move this
technology towards broader applications.
Large-area deposition of nanocomposites could more
effectively and economically reduce unwanted reflections
from consumer products such as cell phones, computers
and e-book readers. Inexpensive deposition of thin-film
filters over large areas is also applicable to solar energy,
where management of the solar spectrum is beneficial
(UV and IR reflectors, improved visible transmittance
and spectrum splitting). Additionally, these large-area
processes can be adapted to three-dimensional deposition,
further extending the reach of this technology.
Nanoparticles
In optical applications, it is crucial to obtain ultrafine
and stable nanodispersions in order to produce thin films
with low surface roughness and haze. Although the
primary size of most commercial nanoparticles is quite
small (5-50 nm), the high nanoparticle surface energies
cause agglomeration in the synthesis and post-synthesis
processes. This leads to dispersions with primary particles
in the nanometer range, but with a significant number of
large particle groups exhibiting complex shapes and mor-
phologies due to agglomerated and aggregated networks.
These conditions negatively impact haze and transpar-
ency.
3
The term agglomerates relates to groups with weak
interparticle bonds that allow them to be re-dispersed in
a solvent. Ball milling and ultrasonication are typically
used to break up agglomerates. The term aggregates
(or hard agglomerates) describes groups with primary
particles held together by strong attractive forces.
4
Aggre-
gates formed during high-temperature synthesis often
persist after ultrasonication or milling and must often be
removed through centrifugation or filtration.
Solution-based synthesis of nanoparticles was first
reported by Stober in 1968
5
using a tetraethoxy silane
(TEOS). Many researchers have improved on the original
methods, with a key enhancement being modification of
particle surfaces with functional organic groups, desig-
nated as an ORMOSIL (Organically Modified Silica).
6
This
method served as a basis for production of other metal
oxide nanoparticles through hydrothermal and solvother-
mal methods. The solvothermal method is carried out in a
closed reactor in which precursors of the metal oxide are
mixed into a solvent. The reactants are heated and reac-
tion kinetics are adjusted to alter the size of the nanopar-
ticles. Solution synthesis of nanoparticles has three very
important advantages:
The nanoparticles are grown and harvested in a liq-
uid, reducing airborne contaminants.
High heats are not required, so the presence of aggre-
gates is reduced.
The solvents are amenable to several surface function-
alization schemes.
Preservation of discrete nanoparticles is of utmost
importance for high visible transparence in the finished
article. Dispersion of nanoparticles in liquids and solids
can be aided by functionalization of the particle surface.
Several functionalization schemes have been demon-
strated in literature, including the use of ions

, surfac-
tants, ligands
8
, polymers
9
, coupling agents

, and shells of
silica
11
or polymer.
12
The nanoparticles discussed here are metal oxides,
which are subject to simple functionalization using
organosilanes (as typically used with ORMOSILS). The
nanoparticles can be functionalized with different groups
that can include single groups that may or may not be
polymerizable (Figure 1). Functionalization that includes
a polymerizable group will aid in making the nanopar-
ticles an integral part of the matrix.
Engineered Nanocomposite Films
The third element of these nanocomposites is the poly-
mer that envelops the particles in a matrix, which may
also include covalent bonds between the inorganic and
organic phases. Nanoparticles can be dispersed directly
into a swelled polymer, although dispersing monomers
or oligomers directly into a nanoparticle solution has
advantages. Many monomers are soluble in the same
solvents the nanoparticles are already stabilized in and
can polymerize to functional groups on the particles.
Once the solvent has been removed, polymerization of
the nanocomposite can be performed using thermal or
photoinitiated curing.
The optical and mechanical properties of a nanocom-
posite are engineered by varying monomers, initiators,
curing conditions and the concentration of nanoparticles
used in the matrix. With spin coating techniques, up to
65 volume percent nanoparticle loading is possible, which
is near the theoretical limit of close packing with spheres.

loaded nanocomposite, a continuous realm of possible
combinations exists.
Spin coating is a well-understood deposition technique
that produces reproducible, uniform films that are spread
across a substrate with considerable shear forces. When
the optical diameter of the nanoparticles becomes too large,
scattering results as light waves are reflected from the
boundary of the inorganic and organic phases (Figure 2).
A homogeneous dispersion of discrete mono-disperse nano-
particles will yield a highly transparent nanocomposite.
Models predicting light scatter intensity in a nano-
composite show a linear relationship with path length,
packing density and refractive index ratio, but scattering
varies with the cube of particle diameter.

480 nm). The range of refractive indices
was achieved with 5-50% loading of ZnO
nanoparticles in the UV-curable monomer
TMPTA. Results are shown in Figure 3. The
films were applied to a substrate using an
Optical Dynamics spin coater. The source
of the ZnO is a nanoparticle dispersion in
methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) produced by
Umicore (Zano MEK 067). It is reported as
containing 30 nm ZnO nanoparticles at
45 weight percent and uses a surfactant to
maintain nanoparticle separation. Reflec-
tance was measured with a contact spec-
trophotometer (F20 by Filmetrics), with
thickness and roughness determined using
a contact profilometer (XP-1 by Ambios
corporation). This data was then used to
determine refractive index using a Cauchy
model. It should be noted that the refrac-
tive index of the fully loaded ZnO film has
been determined to be approximately 1.75,
which is slightly lower than the expected
1.82. This is most likely due to the added
surfactant reducing the effective refractive
index of the ZnO nanoparticles. A similar
study of TiO
2
nanocomposite films was
undertaken and resulted in a maximum
refractive index of 1.88 with volume pack-
ing of 65 percent. In this case surface modi-
fication was responsible for the reduced
refractive index. These films were used to
produce thin-film reflective filters with up
to 38 layers, with the resultant stack sur-
viving strains up to 25 percent.

composite films in absorptive filters that

ful ultraviolet or infrared
wavelengths. Metal oxides
have high absorption in the
UV region with low absorp-
tion in the visible range,
which makes them ideal for
optical applications requir-
ing UV blocking. It is well
known that titanium diox-
ide and ZnO have very high
absorption in the ultravio-
let region. The visible and
UV response of 500-nm-
thick f ilms containing
varying volume ratios of
ZnO nanoparticles was
measured using a UV-Vis
spectrophotometer (8453
by Hewlett Packard). The ZnO disper-
sions demonstrated sharp changes in
response at about 380 nm, as expected
when the UV absorbance of ZnO is con-
sidered. The UV absorbance ( = 340
nm) was linearly related to the volume
fraction of ZnO in the films (Figure 4), as
predicted by equation 1.
A similar study of the impact of volu-
metric loading of nanoparticles on the
modulus of a thin film resulted in a maxi-
mum modulus near 60 percent loading.
16

In this study, silica nanoparticles were
used at volumes ranging from 30 to 75
percent and the modulus was measured
using nanoindentation.
Deposition
The films discussed above
were spin coated with equip-
ment that was specifically
designed to deposit thin-film
nanocomposites. The coater
moves up to four 80-mm-
diameter substrates through
three process steps: clean-
ing, coating and curing
(Figure 5a). The unit main-
tains a consistent internal
temperature of up to 100
o
F
for evaporation consistency
and includes a HEPA filter to
reduce film defects. The sys-
tem is completely program-
mable and can deposit up to
six distinct coating chemistries.
Surfaces to be coated are first cleaned
with a high-pressure wash (1000 psi) to
remove fine particulates. The substrate
is then moved to the coating bowl where
one of six chemistries can be applied to
the spinning substrate. The liquid coat-
ings are filtered at the nozzle (5-micron
filters) and applied to the spinning sub-
strate (~1000 rpm) using computer con-
trolled solenoid valves (Figure 5b). The
dispersions are applied from beneath the
substrate and readily coat flat, cylindri-
cal, toric or spherical shapes. All of the
coating parameters (spin speed, substrate
sweep over the dispense nozzle, dispense
pressure, dispense time, air flow and air
temperature) are computer controlled,
and solvent vapors are removed from the
coating chamber using a fan. After the
coating is applied, the films are cured
using a pulsed xenon strobe lamp. The
substrate can then go back to the coating
bowl for subsequent layers or be returned
to the staging area, after which the next
substrate can be processed. The system
does not require high temperatures or
pressures and deposits films ranging from
roughly 30-3,000 nm with an accuracy
of +/- 5% for each layer.
Spin coating involves the thinning of
a liquid chemistry that is spread across a
spinning substrate as solvent evaporation
leaves behind the solute. This well-under-
stood technique controls film thickness
primarily through the viscosity of the
solution and the spin speed used during
film formation. The repeatability of the
process is very high as long as the coating
environment is well controlled, since this
leads to solvent evaporation rates that are
nearly constant. Initial film thickness is
set by a balance between the centrifugal

forces applied to the film as the substrate spins and vis-
cous forces that increase as evaporation takes place. Once
these forces balance, evaporation becomes the primary
driver of film thinning. The forces encountered during
spin coating are significantly larger than gravitational
forces, so coating complex geometries with negligible
variation in coating thickness is practical. Additionally,
these forces allow extremely high nanoparticle packing
densities to be achieved.
Spin coating is not an ideal candidate for large sub-
strates, and thus the engineer is faced with depositing
high-volume-density films without a simply applied body
force to overcome the thermodynamic surface forces of the
nanoparticles. A large-area deposition will still need to
overcome the tendency of nanoparticles to agglomerate.
The functionalization of the nanoparticle surface should
reduce the surface energy and may aid in the self assem-
bly of the nanocomposite. The stabilization techniques
used to keep nanoparticles dispersed in a solvent may not
translate into a discrete dispersion in the nanocomposite.
Systems that rely on ions to maintain nanoparticle separa-
tion in an aqueous dispersion will begin to agglomerate as
the water is removed. Steric stabilization techniques using
surfactants can also create films that are poorly suited for
multilayer applications, since these methods can interfere
with interlayer adhesion. Ideally, functionalization would
reduce the surface energy of the nanoparticles to a level
comparable to that of the monomers used in the system,
thus creating a bulk nanocomposite monomer.
A demonstration of a bulk nanocomposite using
organosilane functionalization techniques reducing the
surface energy of the nanoparticles to achieve a homo-
geneous dispersion is shown in Figure 6. Two mixtures
were created that use alcohol-dispersed silica nanopar-
ticles (Nissan Chemistries IPA-ST) at 10 volume percent
in TMPTA. In the first mixture the silica dispersion was
used as supplied. The second mixture was functional-
ized using a methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane. The
mixtures were then placed into a rotary evaporator and
the alcohol was removed and the bulk monomer nano-
composite was cured using UV radiation. The nanopar-
ticles that were not functionalized tended to agglomer-
ate in the polymer matrix, which created haze. The
nanoparticles that were functionalized remained sepa-
rated in the dispersion as shown.
An ideal application method for coatings involving
large areas is dip coating. A simple setup was built to pull
a glass slide out of a nanoparticle-based coating solution
at speeds between 1 and 25 mm/s. The nanocompos-
ite dispersion was cerium dioxide, which is available
as a colloidal suspension from Sigma-Aldrich (Product
No 289744), and a trimethylolpropane triacrylate. The
ceria dispersion was functionalized such that acrylate
groups surrounded the nanoparticles. The total volume
of nanoparticles in the resultant film was 40 percent.
The thickness of the coating was determined to be 270
nm, with a refractive index of 1.8 (measured at 480 nm).
The original formulation was then diluted to produce a
film on the order of a quarter wavelength (approximately
70 nm), which is shown in Figure 7b. This quarter wave
producing high-index chemistry was used along with an
SiO
2
-bearing nanocomposite to produce a 9-layer reflec-
tive stack based on an alternating low/high pattern (with
curing between dip coating steps). The resultant film is
shown in Figure 7a.
Another technique suitable for roll-to-roll coating is
spray deposition using the setup shown schematically
in Figure 8. A trial was run depositing a nanocomposite
with approximately 40 percent nanoparticles by volume.
A spray nozzle and micro dispense valve from Lee Electro-
Fluidic Systems were used to spray the chemistry. The
valve was driven at a frequency of 20 Hz, and a substrate
was slowly passed under the nozzle to produce a continu-
ous film across. The resulting coating was highly trans-
parent at a thickness of 2.5 microns. The refractive index
of the coating was determined to be approximately 1.75.
Conclusion
In this paper we reviewed the engineering of nanocom-
posite thin films by adjusting inorganic nanoparticle load-
ings in a polymer matrix. The nanocomposite films were
engineered for refractive index, absorbance and modulus.
The preliminary work focused on spin coating techniques
in which optical and mechanical properties were engi-
neered with nanoparticles composing nearly 65 percent of
the volume. In order to move the technology to large-area
deposition and increase applicability to additional indus-
tries, nanoparticle surface modification is essential to

equalize the surface energies of the nano-
particles and surrounding monomers.
Thus, large body forces are not required
to overcome the tendency of the nanopar-
ticles to agglomerate. Three systems were
shown demonstrating that highly packed
nanocomposites can be formed using scal-
able deposition techniques.

A
n important class of specialty isocya-
nates includes one-component systems
that cure with moisture. One-component
PU systems are prone to surface foaming
and require special surface preparations.
Since it is more convenient to apply a single one-compo-
nent primer system compared to a two-component sys-
tem, Huntsman has developed a new moisture-cure MDI,
SUPRASEC
9611, which has low viscosity, low foaming

characteristics and is VOC free. This paper addresses
physical properties, reactivities and primer processing
conditions of this new moisture-cure MDI and compares
the properties to existing primer systems.
Introduction
Two-component spray coatings based on polyurea, hybrid
and polyurethane elastomer technology continue to find
commercial success in protective applications for civil
infrastructure, process plants and many more applica-
tions.
1,2
It is critical to the success of these coatings to
follow proper procedure in preparing the surface of the
substrate.
3
For concrete surfaces this may include chemi-
cal etching or sand blasting. However, surface preparation
may not always guarantee proper adhesion or a coating
without defects. There are potentials for an improperly
prepared surface, an undesirable surface tension, or per-
haps a damp substrate, which can cause an excessive
outgas. All of these issues could lead to blisters or pinholes
in the coating surface or could even potentially cause
delamination of the coating from the substrate. Cor-
recting these problems after the fact is both
expensive and timely.
When encountering difficult
substrates or surfaces, the spray
applicator can reduce the
likelihood of serious
problems with
the application of an appropriate primer. Primer systems
can increase the adhesion of the overall coating system.
This occurs when a primer is able to penetrate into a porous
surface and create a mechanical bond. The application of
the primer in this case increases the overall strength of
the substrate. In addition, the topcoat has the opportunity
to form a chemical bond with the primer. These covalent
bonds also increase the strength of the overall adhesion.
Finally, the primer acts as a barrier and will prevent the
contamination of moisture into the surface of a substrate
and therefore inhibit some of the surface defects that may
have been encountered otherwise.
A number of two-component polyurethane systems
have been evaluated as primers over the years and
recently were discussed by Camargo and Skok.
4
They
described the performance benefits of using a two-com-
ponent coating as a robust primer over damp concrete
prior to a top coat. The main advantages to the formu-
lator include the ability to adjust coating properties
via polyol selection and mixing ratio, and the ability to
adjust cure speed through catalyst selections.
Despite the benefits mentioned above, in the field it is
much more convenient to use a one-component system.
Using a one-component system eliminates problems with
incorrect mix ratios, improper or poorly mixed compo-
nents, or limited pot life after mixing. A one-component
moisture-cured polyurethane is typically made by react-
ing excess isocyanate with a high-molecular-weight poly-
ester or polyether polyol. The amount of free NCO groups
remaining in these prepolymers is generally 16% or
lower. Once the moisture-cure prepolymer is applied
to the substrate in a thin film, the amount of
relative humidity controls the curing speed.
The NCO groups in the prepolymer react
with the active hydrogen of the water
molecule and form an amine and
carbon dioxide. Additional
NCO groups begin to react
with the amine and form

groups have been consumed. The generated carbon diox-
ide dissipates from the film and evaporates into the air. If
the film thickness is too large or if the amount of moisture
is too high, there is an opportunity for the CO
2
to become
trapped in the film and to cause an undesirable effect of
foaming and blisters. This effect can become exaggerated
if the viscosity of the prepolymer is too high. The high
viscosity of the prepolymer causes the CO
2
gas to diffuse
more slowly from the film and increases the likelihood of
trapped gas. For this reason, it has been a common prac-
tice in the industry to add solvents to the prepolymers in
order to reduce viscosity. In addition to reducing foaming
effects, the overall lower viscosity helps improve the pen-
etration into porous substrates and, therefore, increases
the bond strength. Unfortunately, the addition of solvent
into a coating system greatly increases the overall VOC
content. The industry has shown a trend away from this
practice when at all possible. For this reason, Huntsman
has developed SUPRASEC 9611, a non-VOC, low-viscosity,
MDI moisture-cure prepolymer, designed for use as a
primer on porous substrates.
Experimental
Materials
Six primer coating chemistries were evaluated in this
study. The primers, most of which are commercially avail-
able, include a waterborne acrylic with fillers; a water-
borne acrylic without fillers; a two-component isocya-
nate/castor oil system; a one-component, solvent-based
isocyanate; a non-VOC, one-component-based isocya-
nate; and an emulsifiable-based isocyanate/water system.
The products and descriptions for the six comparative
primers are listed in Table 1.
Characterization
Curing comparisons between systems were conducted
at 23 C and 50% humidity using a thin-film B-K drying
recorder from Gardco. Films of 20-mil thickness of each
system were applied onto clean glass plates and allowed
to cure for 1 week. The films were removed from the glass
and tested for tensile strength, elongation and Die C tear
according to standard ASTM methods, ASTM D 882 and
ASTM D 624 respectively.
Adhesion specimens were prepared on either wet or dry
concrete blocks by coating the substrate with the primer
at a 5-mil thickness using a brush. Dry blocks were condi-
tioned for 1 week at 23 C and 50% humidity. Wet blocks
were submerged in water for 3 hours. Once removed from
the water, the blocks were primed immediately, while still
saturated. A standard polyurea formulation based on a
commercial MDI prepolymer was sprayed at different time
intervals following the primer application using a Gus-
mer H20/35 proportioning unit and a Graco Fusion Air
Purge Gun, model AR2020. The details of the polyurea
system can be found in Table 2. After one week, adhesion
specimens were prepared with 1-inch diameter test dollies
and pulled off with an Elcometer 106 Adhesion Tester to
measure strength and failure mode.
Results and Discussion
Physical Properties
Drawdowns of films (20 mil) on glass provided bubble-free
and defect-free coatings from which we were able to evalu-
ate physical properties of each primer chemistry, with the
exception of the emulsifiable system, SUPRASEC 9259
and water mixed at a 75 to 25 weight ratio. This system
formed a brittle film that could not be tested. Physical
properties of the remaining systems are listed in Table 3.
Urethane chemistries displayed the highest overall physical
strength. The one-component system of RUBINATE 9511
and xylenes had the highest tensile values, followed by
SUPRASEC 9611. This was expected since the RUBINATE
9511 and xylenes combination had the highest percentage
of free NCO groups available to react with water and form
urea hard segments, which provide strength to the coating.
The acrylic emulsions were softer materials with lower ten-
sile strength. The non-filled system, Acrylic Emulsion #2,
provided an advantage in physical properties such as ten-
sile and tear strength when compared to the filled system.
Reactivity
The reactivity profile of each primer chemistry is pre-
sented in Figure 1. The open time refers to the amount of
time in which the primer remains a liquid. The viscosity
of the liquid increases until the material has gelled into a

solid, as indicated in Figure 1 as gel time. The material
loses its stickiness or tackiness, as indicated by tack free
time, which also indicates that the material has reached
full cure. At 50% relative humidity, both acrylic emulsions
demonstrated the quickest cure. Final cure was reached
within 2 hours time. The one-component moisture-cure
isocyanates, SUPRASEC 9611 and RUBINATE 9511 with
xylenes, reached final cure within 3 hours. While these
cure profiles demonstrate the typical curing behaviors,
increased humidity and temperatures will decrease the
amount of time needed to reach final cure. Previous work
has demonstrated the ability to spray a polyurea topcoat
over the primer before it has reached its final cure.

Increased adhesion values are noted in the urethane-
based systems even when the polyurea is applied over wet
or tacky primers. In these instances it is presumed that
the unreacted NCO groups remaining in the primer have
the opportunity to be covalently bonded into the polyurea
matrix and thus the adhesion is increased.
Adhesion
The six primers were brush applied at 5-mil thickness
to both dry and wet concrete. A polyurea topcoat was
sprayed over the primers at 1, 3, 6 and 24 hours after the
primers were applied. The adhesion values of the complete
primer and polyurea system to dry and wet concrete were
measured (Figure 2). For the dry concrete, increased adhe-
sion was noted with the SUPRASEC 9611, the RUBINATE
9511 and xylenes, and the SUPRASEC 9584 and castor
oil system. Both acrylic systems had average values below
300 psi, which was a slight decrease from the non-primed
adhesion value. The polyurea system without primer had
an average of 400 psi adhesion to concrete.
The wet concrete contributed to lower adhesion values
overall, when compared to the dry concrete data (Figure
3). The concrete was extremely saturated with water before
priming, and the conditions tested represent the absolute
worse case scenario for a moisture-contaminated substrate
in the field. The adhesion value of polyurea to concrete
without any primer was on average 100 psi. There was an
overall improvement in adhesion when a primer was used
prior to the polyurea topcoat. The greatest adhesion was
obtained when using SUPRASEC 9611 or SUPRASEC 9259
and water system. For both one-component systems, there
was a trend towards improved adhesion after 24 hours.
Data beyond 24 hours was not evaluated in this study,
although it has been shown previously to yield good adhe-
sion.
5
It is our belief that beyond 24 hours, the opportunity
for contamination over the cured primer in a commercial or
an industrial setting is potentially large.
Visual Inspection
The visual inspection of test dollies after the adhesion
testing is complete can provide extremely important
information regarding the adhesion performance of the
primer and topcoat. The adhesion tester and a dolly that
has been pulled off from the concrete block are displayed
in the photo in Figure 4. In addition, photos were taken of
the dollies after they were removed from both dry and wet
concrete that had been primed 1 and 24 hours before the
application of a polyurea topcoat (Figures 5, 6). The dark

particles shown on the dollies are actually pieces of the
concrete that have been pulled from the concrete block.
Concrete failure of this type is highly desired because it
indicates that the primer has successfully penetrated into
the substrate. The dollies in the photos that appear white
have not removed any of the concrete. One can visually
see the white color of the polyurea coating, which indi-
cates that the primer was not as effective.
In Figure 5, the dollies on the left side of the picture have
more concrete failure than those on the right side. This is
expected, as the measured adhesion values from the wet
bricks were typically lower than the dry bricks. In Figure 5,
SUPRASEC 9611 and SUPRASEC 9584 and castor oil have
provided the greatest concrete failure. The Acrylic #1 and
Acrylic #2 display the least amount of concrete failure.
Figure 6 presents the dolly test specimens that were
obtained from the 24-hour polyurea topcoat over both
wet and dry primed bricks. Once again, the dry specimens
on the left of the picture display more concrete failure
than the wet specimens on the right. Comparison of both
pictures reveals that the 24-hour specimens appear to
have a higher concentration of concrete failure than the
1-hour specimens. High levels of concrete failure were
also observed on the dollies of the urethane systems
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.

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 Unions REACH (Registration, Evaluation,
Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) initiative,
have affected producers exporting paints and inks. The
coatings industry, according to Frost & Sullivan
1
, also will
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.
Traditional Trade-Offs
The polarity and cohesive hydrogen bonding between
water molecules lead to very high surface tension in
water-based systems. High surface tension makes it very
difficult for paint to properly wet the surface of substrates
with uneven and/or porous surfaces. But, proper wetting
is necessary for even coating. Poor wetting causes crater-
ing and an increased defect rate. This problem is magni-
fied if dirt particles and other contaminants are present.
When paint is applied to very low-surface-energy, materi-
als such as plastics, air entrapment, crawling, framing
and poor adhesion often result.
To address these issues, formulators have turned to
additives designed to increase substrate wettability and
lower surface tension of the coating. In order to achieve
complete wetting, coatings must have lower surface ten-
sion than the substrate.
Silicone Polyether for Superior Wettability
Dow Cornings commitment to sustainability and improv-
ing the performance of greener coating formulations led
to the development of Dow Corning
67 Additive, a multi-
purpose silicone polyether additive designed specifically
for all types of water-based coatings, including wood coat-
ings, UV-cured systems and more.
Dow Corning 67 Additive is offered as a water-dispers-
ible, 100%-silicone polyether with recommended use lev-
els of 0.1% to 1%. It has a flash point above 100 C (212 F)
and is stable up to 200 C (392 F).
This new silicone additive lowers the surface tension
of waterborne coating formulations as measured by con-

tact angle. The difference is notable when
compared to other commercially avail-
able additives (Figure 1). While the new
additive significantly enhances wetting
properties, it does not have a negative
effect on other important properties, such
as recoatability.
A distinct advantage of this unique sili-
cone polyether is its ability to wet problem
surfaces such as PVC and other plastics
without the need to add other solvents.
At a 0.2% addition level, with no addi-
tional solvent required, Dow Corning 67
Additive clearly outperforms many other
types of additives on the market (Figure
2). This feature increases the ability of
the formulator to meet strict VOC regula-
tions while providing expected appear-
ance and adhesion properties.
Because it creates a very low dynamic
surface tension, the new additive spreads
quickly and evenly. The ability to develop
water-based systems that perform as
well as traditional solventborne inks and
coatings under these conditions could
provide a significant competitive advan-
tage for formulators.
Ease of use also has been considered
when designing this new silicone addi-
tive for water-based coatings. Addition is
possible at the grind or let down stages of
production, or even after all other steps are
completed (post-added).
Other Developments
The new silicone additive was developed as
part of a comprehensive program aimed at
helping customers address such coating
property issues as gloss enhancement, slip
and mar resistance, impact deadening,
UV resistance, touch and feel, heat and
temperature resistance, water resistance,
and marine foul release capabilities.
Dow Cornings R&D efforts are focused
on the development of novel silicon chem-
istries, including additives, resins, resin
intermediates and other materials, that
will enable formulators to produce sustain-
able coatings solutions for their customers.
The company has a strong commitment
to the coatings industry around the world
and anticipates launching several innova-
tive solutions in the near future.

Microfoam is caused by
small air bubbles that
are caught in the paint
lm by the spray process
and rise too slowly in the drying lm,
so they remain trapped at or beneath
the surface. Pinholes are often
caused when these small bubbles
break free at the surface, and the lm
is too viscous to ow back and ll the
hole left behind. Pinholes can also
appear when coatings are baked;
bubbles, initially trapped below the
surface, rise as the coating ows
under the heat and before it gains
viscosity through cross-linking.
Deaerators are needed to bring
these bubbles to the surface quickly
so that the air can be released before
the lm sets. Molecular defoamers,
such as Surfy nol
DF110C defoamer
or EnviroGem
AD01 defoamer are

effective deaerators for many spray
applied coatings. These products
can also be used in combination with
other defoamers, such as Surfy nol
DF58 defoamer or Surfy nol DF70
defoamer, if stronger defoaming is
required.
A
Additives belong to a broad and diffuse category of key
components in a coating formulation. They comprise a
small percentage in that formulation, usually less than
5%, but their impact is significant. Additive function is
almost always very specific in nature. Some additives
are multi-purpose; for example, they may be important
to the manufacturing process as well as to the coatings
performance. In recent years more multi-purpose addi-
tives have been developed, thus allowing the use of
fewer additives in many formulations. Occasionally the
use of one additive will require the use of another to
counter some undesirable effect of the first.
Some additives are proprietary products with highly
specific functions that work well in some systems but can-
not be used in others. In addition, because of the proprie-
tary nature of many additives, their chemical composition
is not disclosed. This can make general recommendations
difficult. In addition, this lack of structural knowledge
means that additive substitutions cannot be made on the
basis of fundamental structural chemistry.
In recent years the focus on green technology, lower cost
and safer products has led to the introduction of newer addi-
tives and chemistries. With a large number of additives avail-
able for a particular problem, formulators can find them-
selves in trouble if the wrong additive is initially selected
or added to alleviate or correct a problem. Correct additive
selection is important to success, and such selection is made

Please note that there are a number of new nano-sized
additives on the market today that are difficult to categorize.
Their functions are varied and tend to overlap our traditional
categories. For this reason we have included a number of
these types under the Nanotechnology section.
The following is a brief description of various coating
additives along with some generic examples. The major-
ity of additive types are represented.

ABRASION-RESISTANCE IMPROVERS
See Slip Aid, Nanotechnology
Abrasion is a phenomenon caused by the mechanical action of rubbing,
scraping or erosion. It has two forms, marring or wearing. Mar abrasion is
the permanent deformation of a surface, but the deformation does not
break the surface. Wear abrasion is removal of a portion of the surface by
some kind of mechanical action: wind erosion, sliding back and forth of
an object, wear of tires on traffic paint, and so on. The surface removal
is gradual and progressive in nature. Abrasion resistance is a combina-
tion of basic factors such as elasticity, hardness, strength (both cohesive,
tensile and shear strength), toughness, and, especially in the case of
wear resistance, thickness. In addition, abrasion resistance is intimately
related to scratching and slip. Thus, compounds that enhance these
properties will improve abrasion resistance.
The nature of the polymeric resin and the pigments affect abra-
sion resistance. In the case of the pigments, it should be noted that
extender pigments are noted for their ability to contribute to a variety of
mechanical properties. Examples of compounds that have been used to
enhance abrasion resistance include: silica glass spheres, specialty glass
spheres such as UVT Sunspheres, and similar compounds that improve
hardness. Certain silicones and other oils will decrease surface friction,
making it easier for objects to slide over the surface and thus reduce
wear abrasion. Increasing crosslink density by use of higher functionality
oligomers and/or larger amounts of crosslinking agents has been used
to improve abrasion resistance.
Waxes have also been used to improve slip and thereby abrasion.
Hard waxes resist abrasion better than soft materials. Both PE and PTFE
waxes function by the ball bearing mechanism, while the softer micro-
crystalline waxes work via the layer (bloom) mechanism.
The use of nano-sized materials in coating formulations can signifi-
cantly improve scratch resistance. These improvements can be used in
clear topcoats, ink over-print varnishes and pigmented finishes. The
commercial availability of nanoparticles allows formulators to obtain
new properties that were unachievable in the past, not only in scratch
resistance but many other physical performance attributes.
For nanoparticles to be of use in transparent coatings, it is critical
that aggregates present in the powder be dispersible to their primary
particle size in the coating formulation to avoid rapid settling and exces-
sive light scattering. In addition, it is critical that the dispersed primary
particles avoid re-aggregation during the coating curing process.
Thousands of scratch-resistant coating applications are present in
our everyday lives. Examples of these applications include coatings for
wood floors, safety glasses, electronic displays, automotive finishes
and polycarbonate panels. Improving the mar, scratch and/or abrasion
resistance in these transparent coating applications is a major chal-
lenge, particularly with regard to not affecting the other performance
attributes of the coating.
Inorganic Fillers
Incorporation of inorganic fillers into coatings to improve mechanical
properties is well known. Drawbacks associated with this approach can
include loss of transparency, reduced coating flexibility, loss of impact
resistance, increase in coating viscosity and appearance of defects.
To overcome these defects, a filler material should impart improved
scratch resistance without causing the aforementioned drawbacks.
Nanomaterials have the potential to overcome many of these drawbacks
because of their inherent small size and particle morphology.
Maintaining transparency in a coating containing inorganic filler par-
ticles is a challenge. Four properties dictate the degree of transparency
in a composite material: film thickness, filler concentration, filler particle
size, and the difference in refractive index between the bulk coating and
the filler particle.

Silica particles, colloidal or fumed, and clays are among the most
widely studied inorganic fillers for improving the scratch/abrasion resis-
tance of transparent coatings. These fillers are attractive from the stand-
point that they do not adversely impact the transparency of coatings
due to the fact that the refractive indices of these particles (fumed silica
= 1.46; bentonite clay = 1.54) closely match those of most resin-based
coatings. The drawback to silica-based fillers is that high concentrations
of the particles are generally required to show a significant improve-
ment in the scratch/abrasion resistance of a coating, and these high
loadings can lead to various other formulation problems associated with
viscosity, thixotropy and film formation.
Alumina
The use of alumina particles in transparent coatings is much more lim-
ited even though alumina is significantly harder than silica-based mate-
rials and, as a scratch- and abrasion-resistant filler, higher performance
at lower loadings is often observed. For alumina particle sizes greater
than 100 nm, the high refractive index (1.72) results in significant light
scattering and a hazy appearance in most clear coatings. Currently, only
high-refractive-index coatings, such as the melamine-formaldehyde
resins used in laminate production, can use submicron alumina for
scratch resistance and maintain transparency.
To use alumina as a scratch-resistant filler in transparent coatings, the
particle size must be sufficiently small to overcome its refractive index
mismatch. A Physical Vapor Synthesis (PVS) process has been developed
that allows production of nonporous crystalline metal oxides having
primary particle sizes less than 100 nm at economically viable rates with
essentially no byproducts or waste streams.
Two grades of aluminum oxide can be produced using the PVS process:
NanoTek and NanoDur alumina. Both grades feature a mixture of - and
-crystal phases and are spherical in shape, but the grades differ in terms
of primary particle size. NanoTek alumina has a surface area of 35 m
2
/g cor-
responding to a mean particle size of 48 nm, whereas NanoDur alumina
has a surface area of 45 m
2
/g with a mean particle size of 37 nm.
There is a proprietary particle dispersion stabilization process that
involves specific surface treatments designed to yield nanoparticles
that are compatible with a variety of different coating formulations.
For example, stable dispersions of metal oxide nanoparticles can be
prepared in solvents such as water, alcohols, polar and nonpolar hydro-
carbons, plasticizers, and even directly in acrylate monomers with the
appropriate surface-treatment process. These surface treatments allow
solids levels of up to 60 wt% to be dispersed, and yet maintain a suf-
ficiently low viscosity for ease of blending.
The use of highly concentrated, non-aggregated nanoparticle disper-
sions allows incorporation of the nanoparticles into a coating formulation
without substantial dilution of the formulation with the dispersion liquid.
This feature is particularly important in 100%-solids coating formulations
wherein the nanoparticle is dispersed in one of the reactive monomers.
Within a given coating class, formulations that result in harder/
stiffer coatings tend to show greater improvement with alumina
incorporation than formulations that lead to softer/more elasto-
meric coatings. In addition, transparent coating formulations that
exhibit crosslinking upon curing, such as UV-curable, 2K polyure-
thane, and melamine-based coatings, show greater improvement
in their scratch resistance upon alumina nanoparticle incorporation
compared to transparent coatings that do not crosslink but rather
coalesce, such as emulsion-based coatings.
SNC
SNC is an abbreviation for silica nanocomposites that are composed
of colloidal silica particles with an organic surface modification. These
particles, which improve the scratch and abrasion resistance of a variety
of coatings including radiation-curable formulations, are produced by
a unique process that results in monodispersed, non-agglomerating
spheres with a diameter of about 20 nm. The flexible manufacturing
process is also capable of producing a broad range of cationic (epox-
ide) and free-radical (acrylate) radiation-curable oligomeric composite
materials. These products are stable, transparent and have low viscosity,
even at a silica loading of 60%.
Nanoscale materials for coatings also include complex silicon oxides
and aluminum silicates. Nanoparticles of these materials have been
incorporated into automotive coating formulations that have good sag
resistance. The cured coatings have excellent chip and scratch resis-
tance, outstanding appearance, superior sandability, and resistance
to water spotting and acid etching. Some properties, such as scratch
resistance, are maintained after accelerated weathering.
Sol-gel
It is also possible to improve the scratch- and wear-resistance properties
of a coating as well as its photostability/weatherability by the addition
of nanoparticles prepared by sol-gel processing. This method has the
advantage in that it starts from existing, well-developed formulations
to which a sol containing nanoparticles is added. After curing, the
modified systems give transparent coatings with high wear and scratch
resistance.
Very often, hybrid (organic-inorganic) materials are produced by
sol-gel. The most common way to produce nanocomposites is to form,
in-situ, an inorganic phase by hydrolysis and condensation of alkoxides
or alkoxysilanes. A further curing results in covalent bonding between
the organic and inorganic phase.
ABSORBENTS
Absorption is a process wherein a material is taken up and held, or
retained, by another material. The material taken up is called the absor-
bate and the material that retains the material from the absorption
process is called the absorbent. Thus, absorbents are materials that are
able to take up another material with the formation of a homogeneous
mixture. For example, cotton fibers will take up moisture, charcoal will
take up a gas, baking soda will take up odors, silica gels will take up mois-
ture; certain pigments, clays or extenders will take up oils and others will
take up moisture; and so on. This should be contrasted with adsorption,
which is a surface phenomenon and wherein adsorbed molecules can
have markedly different properties than those of absorbed molecules.
Compounds such as zeolites or molecular sieves are adsorbents that take
up compounds by the adsorption process (See Moisture Scavenger).
ACCELERATORS
See Hardeners
These products increase the epoxy-amine reaction rate and subse-
quently reduce the possibility of undesired blushing or blooming
reactions. Controlled use of the amount and type of accelerator
ensures minimal impact on the cured binder performance. Although
there are numerous products capable of accelerating epoxy-amine
reactions, the most commonly used are: tertiary amines (e.g., DMP-30
= 2,4,6-tris-[dimethylaminomethyl]-phenol), phenol derivatives (e.g.,
nonylphenol), alcohols (e.g., benzyl alcohol) or acids (e.g., salicylic
acid). Be aware that adding accelerator will significantly reduce the
pot-life of the binder system.
ACID CATALYSTS
See Catalysts
Acid catalysts are used to accelerate chemical reactions. Strong acids
such as p-toluene sulfonic acid (PTSA) are frequently used. Also used are
catalysts based on dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (DDBSA) and hexafluo-
rophosphoric acid. In using strong acids as catalysts, acid strength does
not necessarily influence the cure rate but it does affect some film prop-
erties. The most widely used of the strong acids is PTSA. Weaker acids,
such as butylphosphoric, those based on aromatic phosphates and vari-
ous carboxylic acids, are also used in some coatings systems. Blocked
acid catalysts are also used for many crosslinking reactions.
ACID SCAVENGERS
Acid scavengers remove the small amounts of acid that are formed
during the lifetime of a coating or ink. For example, when vinyl
49
copolymers are aged small amounts of hydrochloric acid are formed
as they age. An acid scavenger reacts with the acid, which removes
it from the system so it cannot cause harm to the coating, substrate
or abutting objects. Compounds such as cycloaliphatic epoxides
and soybean oil epoxide, which readily react with strong acids, are
examples of acid scavengers.
ADHESION PROMOTERS
See Coupling Agents
Adhesion promoters improve a coatings ability to withstand mechani-
cal separation from a substrate. That is, they improve adhesive strength.
Quite often these compounds contain two different functional ends, one
of which will interact with the substrate and the other that will interact
with the coating binder. Examples of the various coupling agents are the
silanes, which are trihydrolyzable; the titanates, which can be mono-, di-,
and tetrahydrolyzable; and the chromiums, which are complex in nature.
For metal surfaces that are to be coated, this is particularly important
because metals, as a class, are unstable. The pure metal is always oxidiz-
ing to the metal oxide on the surface of the metal substrate. Exposure to
moisture, oxygen and salts accelerates the process. Almost all coatings
contain microvoids through which oxygen, small molecules like water,
and ionic materials can diffuse. If the coating can remain bonded to the
metal, then the damage done by these diffuse agents will be nonexis-
tent. In other words, corrosion can be prevented. It is, therefore, very
important to do all that is possible to maximize adhesion.
For some materials this involves a mechanical roughening of the
substrate surface to increase the surface area for physical absorption.
Chemical pretreatments such as zinc/iron phosphate and various other
materials have also been used because tightly bound phosphated sur-
faces will retard access to the metal and, therefore, impede corrosion.
Typically, organofunctional silanes have been used in coatings as
adhesion promoters because they provide a polar functional group to
contribute to increased bonding to a mineral substrate. They also are
hydrolyzable and provide wetting ability and surface activity. The silanes
are moisture sensitive and will hydrolyze over time to silanols. This is not
a problem in solventborne coatings systems but can cause problems for
waterborne systems. The silanes react with both the polymer and the
substrate to form covalent bonds across the interface. Silane adhesion
promoters are used in urethane, epoxy, acrylic and latex systems.
Receptive inorganic surfaces are those that have hydroxyl groups
attached to elements such as Si, Al, Ti and Fe. Nonreceptive surfaces, such
as boron, and alkaline earth oxides, do not form stable covalent bonds with
silanols. A number of different commercial silane coupling agents are used
in coatings. Levels that range from 0.05-1.0% are generally effective.
Methacrylic phosphate monomers that improve adhesion to metal,
concrete, glass and other inorganic substrates and that can be used
in both water- and solventborne formulations are available. Some
methacrylic phosphate monomers improve metal adhesion and also
significantly improve corrosion resistance. There are also acrylic phos-
phate functional monomers that improve adhesion to various metal
substrates. The acrylic reactive group provides a higher reaction rate in
UV- and EB-curable applications.
Other adhesion promoters that are in the marketplace are titanates
(such as isopropyl tris-[N-ethylaminoethylamino] titanate), zircoaluminates,
zirconates, aryl/alkyl phosphate esters and proprietary metal organic com-
pounds. The titanates and zirconates suffer from moisture sensitivity as
well, so caution is necessary when using them with waterborne systems.
Neo-alkoxy products are claimed to not have this problem. Alkyl/aryl phos-
phate esters, zircoaluminates and the metal organic promoters are stable
in waterborne coatings. They are quite different in chemical nature and
therefore the formulator needs to evaluate them separately.
Epoxy/methoxy functional additives are effective in promoting
adhesion of a variety of coating systems to glass, aluminum and steel.
Methacrylate/methoxy functional additives improve adhesion of free
radical cured resins, such as polyacrylates, to inorganic substrates.
Epoxy functional silanes improve adhesion and water resistance of
a variety of coating systems to inorganic substrates. Amine/methoxy
functional additives improve adhesion and water resistance of coat-
ings and adhesives when bonded to glass or metal substrates.
Powder Coatings
The same precautions regarding clean substrates and pretreat-
ments that apply to liquid coatings are advised for powder coatings.
Adhesion promoters such as the silanes and titanates may also be used
to enhance adhesion. Silanes designed for use in powder coatings
have an organo functionality that has an affinity for the powder resin
system. The organo-silane must orient itself at the coating-substrate
interface. The choice of organo-silane is usually governed by the resin
system, and experimental screening is advised to determine which
promoter provides the most improvement. Adhesion promoter types
commonly used in powder include mercapto-silanes, amino-silanes,
carboxyl/hydroxyl-silanes, and carboxyl-silanes.
Plastic Substrates
Due to high chemical stability, low price, excellent balance of physical
properties, possible recycling, etc., the amount of polypropylene (PP)
and thermoplastic olefin (TPO) consumed by automotive parts, house-
hold electrical appliances and molded general goods businesses is
increasing. However, PP and TPO are materials with low surface energy
that make painting and adhesion problematic, hence chlorinated poly-
olefin (CPO) has found wide use as an adhesion promoter. Solventborne
CPOs have traditionally been used. Excellent adhesion between TPO
substrates and CPO can be obtained as the result of good wetting and
higher dispersion interaction, which are affected by the properties of
the CPOs chlorine content, crystallinity, melting temperature, molecular
weight and its polydispersity.
There are several factors that can affect the performance of a CPO-
based adhesion promoter. Application parameters play a significant role
in designing a system that will provide optimum adhesion performance.
Of particular importance is the temperature at which a coating applied
to a PP or TPO part is cured or baked. In addition, substrate and CPO
composition can influence overall adhesion performance.
Coating bake temperature is the temperature at which the coating
applied to the TPO part is cured. Coating bake temperature can have
an effect on the interaction between a CPO-based adhesion promoter
and the surface of TPO, which can affect performance. For best results,
coating adhesion is enhanced when the coated TPO parts are baked at
temperatures over 100 C, given the same coating type. However, CPO-
based adhesion promoters are successfully used in applications, such as
automotive refinish applications, where the coating is air-dried or baked
at temperatures lower than 100 C.
The chemical and physical properties of the CPO can also have a sig-
nificant effect on adhesion performance. Addition of co-resins to CPOs
can enhance adhesion, reduce blistering, and improve the appearance
of coatings applied over the adhesion promoter layer. CPOs have limited
compatibility with most resin types, but unlike conventional coatings this
may not be detrimental to performance. CPOs promote adhesion best
when they are at the interface of the substrate and the coating applied
over the substrate. This means that a formulated adhesion promoter sys-
tem with a CPO and borderline compatible co-resin may actually allow the
CPO to reach the interface more readily. A number of co-resin types can
be used with CPO, including acrylic, acrylic-modified alkyds, polyesters
and others. The level of CPO used in the formulation will be dependant
upon the substrate, coating type and required performance properties.
Research efforts are focused on waterborne coatings applicable to TPO
substrates that coalesce well at baking temperatures as low as, or lower
than, 80 C (176 F) in order to save energy costs and to avoid thermal defor-
mation of TPO substrates at the higher temperatures. Chlorine-free adhe-
sion promoters are also being used and are highly desirable.

Every painter is happy if the product
he is using gives long lasting protec-
tion. High performance paint will give
many more years protection than your
standard paint and reduce mainte-
nance costs dramatically. Pete D. had
the choice of four environmentally
friendly coatings which are based on
resins from Worle. These resins
enable the paint formulator to pro-
duce high performance paints and lac-
quers for metal coatings.
If you have to choose a binder for
metal coatings, please click

WorleCryl 7158 is a water-
borne styrene acrylic dispersion for
base and top coats on metal which
provides, after drying, a water resist-
ant film. The solid content of nearly
50% and the MFFT from 3237 F
allow the formulations of paint s to
be applied even under unfavourable
weather conditions.
WorleCryl A 2241 Wis a
water based hydroxyl functional acryl-
ic emulsion for two component coa-
tings for the cross-linking with hydro-
philic and hydrophobic isocyanates. It
is used for top coats with excellent
resistance and high gloss. The solid
content is 45% and the hydroxyl con-
tent is 4.1%.
WorleKyd SD 7003 is an alkyd
resin for high solid systems which
complies with European and American
VOC guidelines. It is a low viscous air-
drying long oil alkyd resin for high
gloss or satin architectural and main-
tenance lacquers with low VOC con-
tent. WorleKyd SD 7003 is available
with a solid content in de-aromatized
hydro carbons.
