AC Conference
Towards the Coatings Industry of Tomorrow
Fostering the Future of the Coatings Industry through Innovation and Collaboration
H What will the American coatings
landscape look like 30 years from now?
How can the industry achieve sustainable
success for the future? Keynote speakers
Lewis Manring, Global Platform Technology Director of Coatings and Color for
DuPont Performance, and Wendy Hoenig,
Vice President R&D for Dow Coating
Solutions launched the first ever ACC by
answering these crucial questions.
In his talk, Lewis Manring stressed the
importance of renewable resources for
the future of the coatings industry. “The
coatings industry has greatly helped to
reduce VOC emissions levels over the
past 30 years. Now we must focus on the
next step on the path towards sustainability: renewable resources,”
With rising oil prices, changing environmental policies and customer demands
driving the search for renewable alternatives, Manring highlighted the importance of collaborative partnerships to
Lewis Manring (left), DuPont Performance, and
Wendy Hoenig, Dow Coatings Solutions, took a
look into the future of coatings
adapt existing materials for sustainable
manufacturing. “The NPCA should facilitate connections between raw material
suppliers, coatings producers, large customers and biotech companies to help
drive the industry towards renewable
alternatives for current raw materials,”
he said.
Wendy Hoenig’s presentation built
on Manring’s themes by exploring how
modern materials research will take the
industry to new heights. Hoenig
highlighted the sector’s exciting innovations in sustainable
solutions (e.g. waterborne coatings), enhanced durability (e.g.
scratch-resistant
coatings),
“smart” coatings (e.g. photocatalyctic paints) and throughput research. She also stressed
the importance of working with
OEM partners to streamline
production processes to lower
costs, reduce energy usage,
and improve product performance. “The coatings industry
is growing fast,” said Hoenig.
“But only by embracing collaboration and innovation we can ensure
productivity and long-term success.”

AC Conference
Polling the Conference
What ACC Delegates Expect for the American Coatings Market
H Drawing on the combined market
expertise of the delegates at the American Coatings Conference, a poll among
this audience revealed their outlook
regarding current market expectations,
R&D drivers, as well as the importance
of specific technology topics.
Approximately 180 conference delegates out of the 600 pre-registered attendants took the time to take part in the
poll, which was issued two weeks ago.
When asked about their market expectations for specific coatings segments,
the highest growth expectations were
associated with functional/smart coatings, where some 78% of respondents
expect slight or significant growth in the
next two years. Protective coatings came
out as the runner-up at 58%. Perhaps not
surprisingly, the situation is different for
automotive coatings, where 55% of the
participating delegates expect slight or
significant shrinkage of the market.

The poll’s results concerning the current
R&D situation were also very interesting.
Ranking different drivers on a scale from
5 (very important) to 1 (irrelevant), the delegates cleary see legislative regulations as
the most important driving force for innovations with an average ranking of 4.33; rising raw material and energy costs closely
behind at 4.17; and the group of customer
demands for lower-cost solutions as well
as the market pull towards higher performance and more functionalities coming in
next at 3.74 and 3.67, respectively. Clearly,
though, with no conceivable factor ranking
as unimportant, it is typically a mix of factors that truly drives the development.

ACC Honors Innovation
with a Bold, New Award
H Researchers from the University of
Southern Mississippi win the ACC’s
first American Coatings Award.
A prestigious new prize celebrating innovations in coatings research, co-sponsored by NPCA and Vincentz Network,
was awarded to a team of scientists from
the University of Southern Mississippi.
The winning paper, “Letting Nature Tackle the Dirty Work: The Future of Coatings
2008 AC Award winner James W. Rawlins proudly displays his trophy
Additives,” describes
the team’s collaboration with Reactive
Surfaces Ltd. of Austin, Texas to develop a
self-synthesizing film.
Vincentz’s Barbara
Brune and NPCA’s Michael Morgan presented the $2,500 award
to the paper’s lead author, James Rawlins, at
an awards ceremony
attended by hundreds
of conference participants on Monday.
“Competition for the prize was intense.
We received 180 abstracts for 72 presentation slots,” said Morgan. “The winning
paper had to be innovative, scientific,
clearly presented and of wide-ranging
interest. Short-listing 12 finalists was
tough, but Rawlins’ team was the clear
winner.”
When asked how he planned to use the
prize money, Rawlins said: “We’ll buy a
bottle of champagne, then split the remainder among the younger team members to reward their passionate pursuit of
science.”

Sustainability in Practice
Luis Fernandez,
VP and Business
Director,
Paints and
Coatings Materials,
Rohm and Haas
H Concepts of environment protection
are becoming more and more important especially for global players
in the coatings industry. Whenever
these topics are addressed, the term
“sustainability” comes up, since it is
closely linked to eco-friendly manufacturing processes and products. Luis
Fernandez, VP and Business Director
for Paints and Coatings Materials at
Rohm & Haas, explains how the idea
of sustainability is integrated into the
company’s day-to-day business.
 ACS Daily: How does Rohm and Haas
define sustainability?
Luis Fernandez: Our dedication to bringing environmentally advanced coatings
technology and products is something we
have done for more than 50 years, and it
remains one of our most important tasks.
However, it’s not enough to simply have
a portfolio of environmentally sophisticated products. A sustainable company
has to do much more. We are judged,
after all, by both what we make and how
we behave. This means we are equally
careful about how we make the products
in our plants and how we respect the
communities in which we operate. This
is just as important as our technology
and innovation. That said, we are proud
of the fact that we have found new ways
of adapting acrylic chemistry for use in
almost every kind of paint formulation,
almost everywhere in the world. We’re
now also finding great success in taking
this environmentally advanced technology into industrial applications, building
materials, insulation, high-performance
coatings and traffic paints, to name just a
few. All this is a commitment to make our
world, and the world around us, a better
place to live for generations to come in
a systematic, scientific and measurable
manner.
 What does Rohm and Haas do to
ensure that the objectives of sustainability are achieved in their products?
Bringing specialty technology to market
in the most responsible manner possible
has been a bone-deep characteristic of
our company for many years. A number
of our products and technologies have
already been recognized with several
environmental awards as one of today’s
most advanced technology platforms
for architectural and industrial coatings.
And though we’re proud of our sustainable steps in the past, we are committed
to thinking ahead to ensure that sustainability remains an integral part of everything we do. Earlier this year, we signed a
partnership with The Natural Step, a nonprofit organization guiding companies,
communities and governments onto an
ecologically, socially and economically
sustainable path. Our journey to sustainability will continue to evolve and
improve. We believe we will do well by
doing good, and by doing the right things
for our customers, our communities, our
shareholders and our environment all at
the same time.

Waterborne Systems in Automotive Coatings
David Fischer,
Global Marketing
Manager, DuPont
Automotive Systems
H The environmental friendliness
of waterborne coatings is widely acknowledged. For performance reasons,
however, automotive OEMs producing
in the US still continue to depend on
solventborne systems for clear coats.
David Fischer, Global Marketing Manager at DuPont Automotive Systems,
shares with ACS Daily his opinion on
trends and possible changes to come.
 ACS Daily: What potential do you
see for the industry and for waterborne
technologies to become a trend?
David Fischer: There is no government
policy that mandates the use of a particular coatings technology. As a result
each OEM is free to select the coatings
technology solution which best meets
its individual needs within a broad set of
requirements.
In the field of clear coats, 100% of the
US automotive market uses solventborne
clear coat technology, and it appears the
clear-coat market will stay with it for the
foreseeable future. The US market — and
H
H
H
ACS Daily 1.indd 6
6
for that matter, the rest of the world —
clearly favors solvents when it comes to
clear coats.
Neither solventborne nor waterborne
base coats are favored by the US automotive market. Individual OEMs producing in the US have a preference for either
waterborne or solventborne base coat
systems based on their specific needs.
Both technologies have strong advocates in the US automotive coatings market. Changes in technology typically occur when new facilities or new equipment
is brought on line.
Together, these two factors — the fact
that both technologies have strong advocates and the fact that existing facilities are dedicated to one approach or the
other — will result in both solventborne
and waterborne having large and slowly
changing positions for a long time.
 The weak dollar, a struggling automotive market, and environmental
regulations affect the industry. How
is it possible to meet demands and
specifications without losing competitiveness and efficiency?
The only sure way to meet the demands
and specifications in today’s environment is to improve competitiveness and
improve efficiency. These issues simply
increase the urgency (as well as the risk
of failure) for firms to innovate and invest
wisely in technology and productivity.

Six Pre-Conference Tutorials Kicked off the First Day of
the American Coatings Conference and Show Yesterday
Pre-Tutorial: Radiation Curing
Hai H. Lin, PhD
Global Manager Special
Effects & New Substrates
Silberline Manufacturing
Co. Inc.
Marshall Ming of the University of New Hampshire explaining the principles of easy-cleanability in
yesterday’s pre-conference tutorial
H Hosted by renowned industrial and
academic experts in their fields, the
tutorials addressed important coatings
technologies and applications, providing conference delegates with colorful
snapshots of key issues facing coatings professionals today. Attendees
responded well to the concept, and all
six workshops were completely sold
out, each with about 25 participants.
Addressing “Radiation Curing” as one of
the largest growth areas, Michael L. Dvorchak of RadTech North America, presented his audience with an overview of the
intricacies of modern UV-curing coatings
formulations for specific applications.
Brian Skerry and Greg Girard of SSPC,
showed how protective coatings can
prevent corrosion protection through an
exploration of corrosion chemistry. In his
tutorial, Bayer MaterialScience’s Edwin
Hortelano led his audience through the
most common polyisocyanate and polyol
components of polyurethanes, the most
versatile binder system of all.
Tutorials focused on “Antimicrobial
Surfaces” and “Easy-to-Clean Coatings”
represented two of the most intensely
discussed novel functional coatings sys-
tems. Melinda Wales of Reactive Surfaces
Ltd. discussed existing methodologies to
fight bugs in hygienic coatings applications
using reagents that are both active against
microbes and environmentally-friendly.
Marshall Ming of the University of New
Hampshire addressed one of the “hottest” topics common to a variety of coatings sectors. In his address, Ming noted
that easy-to-clean coatings promise to
provide surfaces with a much sought-after new functionality, and are among the
most advanced “Smart Coatings” applications today. Ming explained how such
properties can be achieved by following
either ultrahydrophobic, or, contrarily,
ultrahydrophilic approaches.
Pre-Tutorial: Antimicrobial Surfaces
"The theme of Dr. Wales’ workshop was completely new to me. I went along to become
acquainted with the topic and get a sense
of the global marketplace for anti-microbial
coatings. The session moved fast but I got
a lot of exciting new ideas from it, such as
the latest regulatory affairs news, which
will no doubt prove useful in the future"
Dr. Gaëlle Baquey,
Chief Scientist,
Chamelic
Pre-Tutorial: Low VOC Technologies
Last, but by no means least, the tutorial
on “Low VOC Technologies” led by BASF’s
Patrick Mormile and Gregory A. Menovcik,
offered a concise overview of the current
research on reducing VOCs still further,
covering both chemical formulation approaches and process innovations.
In all six workshops, tutors encouraged
questions and inspired discussions with
and among the attendees. See the side
bar on this page to read what participating delegates had to say.
"Mike Dvorchak turned out to be a great
presenter. I particularly appreciated that
the tutorial was very much focused on
practical coatings systems. Mike was able
to break down the key points into plain
understandable language, without much
technical jargon, but still with a very wide
coverage. This was very useful for me"
Anna Lönnström,
Research Manager,
Teknos
“Surface cleaning is a complex area.
The field is so specialized and can be
approached in a wide variety of ways.
Marshall Ming did a great job tackling all the
approaches to easy-to-clean coatings in one
clear presentation. I gleaned many new ideas
from the workshop and now have a clearer
perspective on how to achieve results”
Pre-Tutorial: Corrosion Protection
"Brian Skerry and Greg Girard’s pre-conference tutorial was very well presented
and extremely instructive. Covering both
the theory and practical application of
corrosion protection, this excellent tutorial gave an informative update on current standards and on trends to come"

Radcure on the Rise
 How will the increasing energy (and
raw material) prices influence the impact
of radiation curing coatings applications?
The increased costs for energy should
drive the adoption of radiation-cured coatings as end-use customers look for lowercost alternatives to applying and curing
coatings. For raw materials suppliers, the
increased cost for fuel has forced us to absorb added freight costs which have had a

significant, negative impact on profit margins. On top of these costs is the ever-escalating cost of the raw materials. Combined,
this has resulted in the cost of our products
increasing, which in turn, has forced us to
increase the price for our radiation-curing
resins and additives in the marketplace.
 What do you experience as the major technical challenges today, that will
#6191 Colortrends 808 Beach AD Am Coating Show Daily

have to be addressed to push radiation
curing technology further?
The three biggest challenges are: improving adhesion, flexibility and durability/weatherability, especially for plastic
applications; improving overall sprayability; and adapting/tailoring the technology
and/or the equipment for more specific
substrates and end uses, such as 3D applications or field-applied coatings.
Page 1
H In terms of growth rates, radiation
curing systems are among the most
prospering coatings of all and, as an
energy-saving technology, rising fuel
and energy costs may drive this growth
even further. Still, some challenges
remain to be addressed, explains John
Moore, “Radcure” Business Director,
North America, Cytec Industries.
 ACS Daily: How do you judge the
current market expectations for UV/EB
coatings applications in North America?
What do you conceive as the major
growth sectors for this technology?
John Moore: The demand in North America is soft right now because of the current
economic conditions. Long term, however, we see continued good growth of UV/
EB coatings in North America at a rate of
4% to 6% per year, especially for the protection of wood, plastics and metal substrates. In particular, there is a growing
demand from the wood flooring and furniture industry for increased use of UV coatings, with a strong interest in sprayable
UV coatings for use in wood furniture and
other three-dimensional wood substrates.
Also, we see increased interest for use of
UV coatings in coil coatings. Additionally,
we see good growth opportunities in the
graphic arts market, especially with inks
used in food packaging, bio-sustainable
printing and digital printing.

Low VOC or Low Ozone?
Measure what matters –
Ozone
Thousands of VOCs can react to form ozone. However, not all VOCs contribute
equally to ozone formation and accumulation. Simply reducing the total VOC
emissions does not guarantee an equivalent reduction in ozone formation.
Photochemical reactivity measures the maximum
potential air quality impact
According to the EPA and CARB, the
photochemical reactivity of a compound
is a measure of its upper level potential
to form ozone. That’s why two formulations
with similar VOC contents can have
significantly different ozone creation
potentials, as shown in the graph at right.
Using a photochemical reactivity-adjusted
approach rather than a mass-based
strategy to control VOCs, can contribute
the following significant benefits:
• Reduces ozone formation potential
dramatically
• Potentially reduces HAP emissions
• Increases formulation ﬂexibility
• Maintains/improves product performance

The Rheology Handbook
Thomas G. Mezger, born 1954, successfully
completed a degree (Diplom-Ingenieur) in
Chemical Engineering at Stuttgart University,
Germany.
He gained a wealth of experience in the
field of practical rheology in the Sales
and Product Management departments
of the rheometer manufacturers from
1984 to 1988 at Contraves and afterwards
at Physica Messtechnik (today Anton Paar, Ostfildern, Germany).
For over fifteen years, he has held seminars for students and
employees of companies and institutes from a wide range of
technical branches. These seminars cover the basics of rheology
and rheometry as well as the useful transfer of this knowledge
into industrial practice. As a result of this dialog with customers
“The Rheology Handbook” came into existence.

challenges facing the industry. ACS
Daily spoke with Dr. Frank J. Maile,
a representative of ACS exhibitor
Merck KGaA, who is also contributing
a high-level technical presentation to
the American Coatings Conference.
To learn more about pigments from
Merck, attend Dr. Maile’s presentation “The Macroscopic Appearance of
Effect Coatings and Its Relationship to
the Local Spatial and Angular Distribution of Reflected Light” today at 4:30
p.m. at the ACC.
 ACS Daily: How do you characterize
“new effect pigments”?
Frank J. Maile: Generally speaking,
one has to take into consideration all appearance attributes relevant for the use
of those pigments in a given system for
the target market. Additionally, all measurable properties related to the stability, the ease of use and other customer
specifications. These properties depend
on charecteristics such as the particle
size distribution, the aspect ratio of the
flakes, or the lateral and angular orientation of the flakes within the coating.

 What is a “Flop”?
A “Flop” is the angle dependency of
color attributes of light incidence and/or
observation.
 Why is the information on flake
orientation so important and how can
you measure it?
Flake orientation influences almost
every single appearance property and
a lot of other relevant properties. Additionally, the flake orientation is quite
sensitive to any change of the application parameters. This can be observed
directly by microscopic evaluation of
paint layer sections, or indirectly with
various imaging techniques, all of them
“pesky sensitive” tasks which are not
easy to carry out and which are prone
to systematic/statistical errors.

Welcome to Charlotte
History and modernity are just steps apart
H Located at the intersection of two
prominent Native American trade
routes, Charlotte, NC has become a
major U.S. financial center in recent
years. Founded in the 18th century,
Charlotte is an economically booming
city and is still continuing to grow into
a larger metropolis. Keeping pace with
modernity and progress, great care
has been taken to nurture and preserve
historical sites and the Southern flair of
the “Queen City.” It offers an enjoyable
mixture of today and yesterday to its
visitors, combining Carolina charm with
cosmopolitan flair.

The city’s center is the perfect place to
explore on foot. Charlotte’s impressive
skyline is shaped by huge buildings located in Center City (Uptown). Just a stone’s
throw away from skyscrapers and multistory buildings, a walk down the streets
in the historic district Fourth Ward gives
you a different picture of the Queen City.
Dating back to the 1800’s, Victorian hous-

es lovingly called the “Grand Old Ladies”
mark the cityscape in this part of town.
For more on life in earlier centuries, you
can visit the Historic Rosedale Plantation
which promotes the Southern heritage of
the region. Apart from its architecture,
this site provides insights into the lifestyle of past generations, and it is only
approximately three miles away from the
Charlotte Convention Center. Also within
walking distance of the CCC is the Mint
Museum of Art, which is the oldest museum in the state. Furthermore, one of
the country’s top science and technology
museums, the Discovery Place Museum,
is located in the center as well. Its handson approach is highly appreciated, and
not only by younger visitors.
As the home of various sports teams,
Charlotte truly deserves to be called a
sports mecca. It hosts the Charlotte Bobcats (NBA), Panthers (NFL), Knights (MiLB)
and NASCAR — something for every taste.
Beyond sports, Charlotte invites you to
enjoy one of the city’s many green areas.
Although there are numerous public golf
courses, ‘The Green’ is Center City’s outdoor park, located across the street from
the Charlotte Convention Center. Upscale
restaurants and outdoor entertainment are
all just within a few steps. The Charlotte
Botanical Garden is a little further away
on the campus of the University of North
Carolina. This two-story rain forest is a
popular place to go for anyone interested
in exploring the flora and fauna native to
the South. For folks looking for shopping
possibilities, the downtown area is the
place to be. Or just visit the malls, such as
Concord Mills Outlet or SouthPark Mall,
where you have access to a full selection
of national retailers.
Named one of the “Top 50 Cities that
Sizzle” by Restaurant Magazine, Charlotte has you covered when it comes to
cuisine from every corner of the globe —
you can always find something to enjoy
after a long day of work, sightseeing or
shopping. Offering a broad diversity for
every taste, barbecue is still incredibly
popular and done to perfection in the
South. Many Charlotte barbecue restaurants claim to have the best ribs in the
South. Whether you are looking for live
music or dance clubs, numerous locations in the Center City area have their
doors wide open for nighthawks. The
Double Door Inn is popular for live rock
and blues acts. A special atmosphere can
be experienced at the Forum; Uptown’s
only night club with a rooftop lounge provides a fantastic view of the ever-changing skyline of Center City at night.
Charlotte provides countless possibilities to pass the time with plenty of fun.
No matter what your preference, there is
no limit to what you can do!
The SouthPark Mall offers a full selection of national retailers.

A Positive Impact on North America
An important Canadian voice
 When you look at the industry in
Canada and North America, what potential and advantages do you see coming
from an event like the ACS?
Having the show in Charlotte means that
for a week in June, the focus of the paint
and coatings world will be right here in
North America. The show provides an opportunity for the world’s best suppliers
and manufacturers to share their thoughts
and ideas on how our industry continues
to innovate and develop products and
technologies that are more consumer and
environmentally friendly. That is why we
are big supporters of the show – having
this quality show of technology and innovation at our doorstep will only help the
Canadian and North American paint and
coatings industry.

Jim Quick,
President, Canadian Paint
and Coatings Association
H This year may be a tough one for the
coatings industry in North America. A
weak US dollar, the struggling automotive market, and a decline in home
building and paint use are challenging
factors. The president of the Canadian
Paint and Coatings Association, Jim
Quick, shares his assessment of the
current situations affecting the North
American market, and talks about how
the industry benefits from the American Coatings Show.
 ACS Daily: When you briefly characterize the Canadian coatings industry
and its market, what are the major differences compared to the United States?
Jim Quick: While we tend to view North
America as a single marketplace, there
are several significant differences when
you compare our respective jurisdictions.
The single most obvious difference is the
sheer size of the United States market.
Canada is a smaller market with a little
morethan200paintestablishmentssupplying, producing and distributing almost
$3 billion (US) in paint.
The paint and coatings industry here in
Canada is very similar to other chemical
sectors in that profit margins are very
tight, and any sudden or unexpected
economic pressure will have a significant
impact. The most obvious challenge we
have at the moment is the continued high
level of the Canadian dollar and the impact that has for exports.
Also, sectors (including automotive
OEM, aerospace and metal products sectors) that rely on paint exports for business could be greatly affected by the
expected decline in the US economic
situationin2008.
The cost of doing business continues to
be a concern here in Canada. While we
appreciate the efforts the federal government is making to reduce corporate taxes, they remain high, and governments
everywhere need to move faster with
reductions.
Also, the heightened environmental
agenda world-wide will also have a bottom-lineimpactonourindustryin2008.
For, example, we expect new VOC regulations for AIM and ARC in 2008, and the
cumulative cost to industry for compliance could exceed $300 (US) million.

important academic institutions are
present. University representatives
are showcasing their latest research
results at their booths and look forward
to discussing them with ACS visitors
who are encouraged to stop-by. ACS
Daily spoke to university representatives from Eastern Michigan University
and North Dakota State.
 ACS Daily: What are your expectations of the American Coatings Show?
Jamil Baghdachi: We sincerely appreciate the show’s financial assistance in
support of our students’ poster presentations and travel. We hope that this event
continues to be an opportunity for all to
network and exchange technical information, as well as for collaboration between
the industry and academia.
 Do you already cooperate with companies from the coatings industry?
Yes, we routinely cooperate with our
industrial partners in research and development activities and training their
workforce. Currently many projects are
sponsored by coatings manufacturers and
users, both nationally and internationally.
Over the years, these types of events have
helped us to cement our relationships.
Dr. Jamil Baghdachi,
Director and Professor,

 What can ACS visitors expect at your
booth?
They will be greeted warmly by professors and students running the booth. ACS
visitors can appreciate how the Coatings
Research Institute of the Eastern Michigan University has successfully blended
academic learning with applied and industrial applications in coating science.
They can discuss their technical projects,
become familiar with our broad capabilities and facilities, receive unbiased scientific opinions and interview potential
future staff.

 ACS Daily: The American Coatings
Show is an event designed to serve
the needs of the coatings manufacturing industry. As a representative of an
academic institution, what are your
expectations of the event?
Stuart Croll: The American Coatings
Show will be a new experience for North
Dakota State University. We expect to
learn about the new materials, new businesses and the new directions of the
coatings industry. We hope that, in turn,
industry will be interested in what we, as
an education and research organization
have to offer.
 Do you already cooperate with companies from the coatings industry?
Yes. We have research projects with a
variety of industrial companies — coatings and others — from North America
and overseas. The topics cover adhesion, weathering, marine coatings, corrosion, electronic packaging, sensors, etc.
 What can ACS visitors expect at your
booth?
Visitors may expect to learn about
our research and education capabilities. We have excellent facilities for doing research, not only do we have a well
equipped laboratory in terms of analytical instrumentation, corrosion and accelerated exposure, but we have a unique
and extensive laboratory for combinatorial and high throughput material synthesis, characterization and data analysis. We handle approximately $4 million
in research funding annually. We have
25 graduate students, 8 faculty, postdoctoral research associates and undergraduate researchers to help perform the
research. Our faculty has over 70 years of
industrial experience and worldwide reputations in polymer synthesis, corrosion,
weathering and the materials science of
paint and coatings. We welcome research
collaborations of all scopes.
We train excellent, sought-after students for employment in the industry. We
graduate students at the Master’s and
Doctoral level for higher level positions in
industry and we also teach coating materials science to undergraduates who are
usually majoring in chemistry or mechanical engineering. We provide in-depth
short courses in Fargo, ND, on coatings
science and corrosion science, which we
are also prepared to teach at any site with
a suitable audience.

Increasing the Value of Coatings
New Functional Coatings Provide Opportunities and Challenges
Ted Provder, Ph.D,
Polymer &
Coatings Consultants, LLC
Ted Provder: The most promising developments of novel functional coatings systems
with respect to industrial maturity include
a) bioactive coatings for antibacterial or
hygienic coatings and antifouling/fouling
release coatings, b) application of nanotechnology, particularly nanoparticles in
coatings, c) superhydrophobic coatings, d)
intelligent corrosion protection and e) coatings which are easy to clean and/or have
self cleaning properties.
coatings for nanopatterning are examples
which currently are in a technology push
situation. However, all technology being
utilized in “Smart Coatings” are rapidly developing and can quickly move from a technology push to a market pull situation.
Kevin Lassila: There is a clear need for
continued improvements in scratch and
abrasion resistance beyond those attainable through resin technology. One way
 What role do you think “smart”
coatings, i.e. coatings that have some
responsive properties, will be playing
in the future of the coatings industry?
Kevin Lassila: One very interesting
“smart” coatings applications currently
under development is coatings which incorporate enzymatic additives. The enzymes are capable catalyzing hydrolysis
reactions, leading to the detoxification
of chemical warfare agents exposed to

H “Smart Coatings”, i.e. coatings
providing novel functionality or even
“intelligent” stimulus-response properties, are being intensely discussed
among the most promising and also the
most challenging developments in the
coatings world today. In our interview, Dr. Kevin Lassila, Vice President
Product Development for BYK USA Inc.
and Professor Theodore Provder, Ph.D.,
Polymer & Coatings Consultants, LLC,
until recently Director of the Coatings
Research Institute and NSF Coatings
Research Center at Eastern Michigan
University, give insight into their views
on these technologies.
 ACS Daily: What do you perceive as the
most promising developments regarding novel functional coatings systems, in
terms of their industrial maturity?
Kevin Lassila: The most mature segment
of “functional coatings” in terms of widespread use is undoubtedly anticorrosive
coatings which have been on the market
for many years. At present, three major
classes of anticorrosive coatings are in
use; one class is based upon sacrificial
materials such as zinc or other metals,
protecting the underlying metal substrate
from corrosion by participating in the electrochemical process. Another class is coatings incorporating a plate-like component
such as aluminum flake or mica to improve
barrier properties, and hence corrosion
resistance. A third is primers containing
metallic phosphate, silicate, titanate, or
molybdate compounds which function by
forming an oxide layer on the surface of a
metal substrate.

 For which novel functionalities currently under development do you see a
significant “market pull”, i.e. a consumer demand, and which do you think are
more in a “technology push” situation?
Ted Provder: “Market pull” is definitely
operative in bioactive coatings for antibacterial or hygienic coatings and antifouling/fouling release coatings. Antibacterial coatings are already making their way
into the market place. The U.S. Navy is
spending large sums of money on R&D of
environmentally friendly fouling release
coatings, which do not require inorganic
biocides (Copper or tin ablative coatings) or
organic biocides, they are under a government mandate to do so. Superhydrophobic
coatings are being pulled into the market
place by companies manufacturing baby
diapers, for example. Mar and scratch resistant coatings are being developed by
use of inorganic nanoparticles (e.g., silica
and alumina) for wood floor finishes and
automotive clear coats. Easy to clean and
self-cleaning coatings are being demanded
by the US Air force. Intelligent corrosion
protection is being demanded by the U.S.
Army and U.S. Air Force, but is largely technology push at this point. Many of the coatings being demanded and R&D funded by
the Department of Defense will ultimately
cascade into the mainstream commercial
market. Coatings involving self-assembly
of particles or polymers, hybrid organicinorganic nanocomposite coatings, and
this need is being addressed is with nanoparticles which enable very hard coatings
without compromising toughness. Another
approach has been through the incorporation of waxes to improve wear properties
by reducing the coefficient of friction of the
coating surface.
One category of new technologies which
appear to be gaining more widespread
acceptance are self-cleaning or improved
anti-graffiti coatings. This can be realized
through materials which provide morphological features on the surface of the coating, using the “lotus effect.” Alternatively,
photo-catalystssuchasTiO2candegrade
organic soils when the surface is exposed
to sunlight. Anti-graffiti properties can be
obtained through silicone-based additives
which provide a surface with a high degree
of hydro- and oleo-phobic character.
Emerging technologies include antibacterial coatings based on nano-silver or
nano-zinc oxide, improving the hygienic
characteristics of the surfaces onto which
the coatings are applied. Another interesting development, in view of rapidly-escalating energy costs, is IR-reflective coatings which improve thermal management
and can lead to significant decreases in
cooling costs.

Functional Coatings this morning in
Session 6 of the AC Conference
the surface of the coating, or esterification reactions, which could lead to a
self-healing response.
Ted Provder: The need for smart coatings
will continue to grow as a cost–effective
means of providing increased value to coatings, with coatings which are multifunctional and combine several functions or are
composed of multiple layers to realize property profiles with increasing complexity.
Enabling technologies such as nanotechnology, encapsulation techniques and solgel technology will have an ever increasing
role in the development of “Smart Coatings”, and the types of functional coatings
mentioned above will continue to grow with
expanded applications and markets. In addition, look for the emergence of coatings
that 1) enable the recycling of coated substrates such as plastics or can be stripped
by an external stimulus, 2) coatings that
change color by an appropriate stimulus,
3) coatings for product identity protection
of trademarks, 4) sensor coatings as part
of a security system, 5) coatings with antenna functions, 6) coatings with heatable
layers, 7) UV/IR absorbing coatings, and
8) coatings with photovoltaic activity. The
market need will determine which of these
applications will move into the mainstream
in the very near future.

AC Conference
From Easy-to-Clean to Low VOC
In two of today’s sessions, the topic on everyone’s lips is architectural coatings
A major challenge in the field of architectural coatings is continuing to close
the gap that still exists between the
performance and applicability of waterborne and solventborne systems. In the
session entitled “Architectural Coatings”
from9:00a.m.to12:30p.m.,therewill
be a discussion of different approaches
to manufacturing high-performance
coatings with little or no VOC. In the
afternoon (2:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.), the
session “Dirt Pickup and Easy-to-Clean”
deals with the esthetic issues of architectural coatings. Dirty walls and facades
are a real source of aggravation — they
look bad, and cleaning them is expensive and labor-intensive. Six top-notch
presentations will discuss state of the art
self-cleaning/easy-to clean coatings. Materials and methods presented include
polyvinylidene fluorine coatings, novel
fluorine-based surfactants, waterborne
coatings, nano-composite emulsions, silicone cure tetrafluorethylene co-polymer
resins, and an accelerated test method
for evaluating dirt-pickup resistance.
Other sessions today are dedicated
to the topics of polyurethanes – part 1,
functional coatings, protective coatings
and pigments.

U.S. Consumption of Coating Raw Materials in 2007
The U. S. consumption of coating raw materials in 2007 amounted to the sum of $13 billion (US).
With 52%, the largest part of this investment was spent on resins, followed by pigments with 23 %
and solvents with 13 %. Looking at the quantity of raw materials consumed in the US for the production of coatings, water holds the first position with 30 %, resins are almost as important with 29 %,
and solvents again ranks third with a total of 16 %.

AC Conference
Yesterday’s Highlights
H Numerous top-notch presentations were a highlight at the American Coatings
Conference. We asked speakers to summarize key points of their presentations.
nomic savings and opportunities are
tremendous. For the first time, the paint
and coatings industry has the opportunity to control its packaging costs. There
are real case studies and closed loop
systems in process today that prove the
value of a container recycling program.
Research has proven there are billions
of dollars worth of used paint containers
that are landfilled each and every year.
The recycling industry validates its demand for these materials and confirms
that used containers have solid markets
and real value. Through closed loop systems, those containers can be reclaimed
and reprocessed into new, high-quality
paint containers. Obviously, there is re-
search that proves recycling saves natural
resources and reduces the environmental
footprint of a product/company. However,
there is additional research that proves
companies with solid sustainable programs outperform their competitors and
are considered healthier investments.
Closed loop recycling can bring about environmental, social and economic change
for the paint and coatings industry.”

Novel Toughening Agents for Coatings,
Adhesives, and Composites Utilizing
Core Shell Particles
“Current modifiers for toughening thermosetting systems exhibit significant
drawbacks, including depression of the
glass transition temperature, instability
of the formulation and difficulty of use.
Core shell rubber (CSR) particles have
been used successfully for more than 40
years in thermoplastic applications but
have had limited success in thermosetting systems, due to agglomeration of
the particles. The agglomeration of the
particles results in a non-homogeneous
material and correspondingly poor and
inconsistent performance attributes.
Kaneka Texas Corporation has developed a proprietary process for perfectly
dispersing 100nm core shell domains
into various thermosetting resins.
Coatings formulated with the master
batches that contain the perfectly dispersed nano size CSR have improved
adhesion, abrasion, impact resistance,
and durability without sacrificing glass
transition temperature or other thermal
properties related to cross link density.
The coating will also show increased corrosion resistance. The master batches
are easy to formulate and result in tougher and higher performance thermoset
based coatings.”
