H Charlotte becomes a coatings mecca this week as experts from around the globe arrive for the American Coatings Conference (ACC) and American Coat-ings Show (ACS). The United States’ leading industry event, the ACS and ACC provide attendees with an unpar-alleled opportunity to check out the latest innovations and exchange ideas.

Nearly 100 high-level technical papers were selected for the ACC, which attract-ed 876 registered attendees, compared to

736 in 2008. “We are excited that atten-dance has grown,” says Cheryl Matthews of the American Coatings Association. “It’s terrific to have such strong support from the major industry players.”

The ACS is similarly off to a promis-ing start. More than 3,000 people pre-registered for the show with many more expected to arrive in the coming days. There are 328 exhibitors compared to 331 in 2008. “Despite the tough econom-ic climate, exhibitor numbers are hold-ing steady,” says Friederike Plasswich of Vincentz Network. “The strong pre-

registration figures suggest that overall attendance will surpass 2008 numbers.”

The event’s leading reputation is re-flected by its growing globalism. In 2008 the ACS attracted attendees from 48 countries; people from 61 nations pre-registered this year, with visitors hailing from places as far as New Zealand and Brazil. “The last two years have been dif-ficult,” says Dirk Ebener of Nuremberg Messe North America. “But the global attendance and the positive mood on the exhibition floor suggest that the industry is focusing on growth.”

P&G and CCP joined forces to further innovation

AC Conference

www.american-coatings-show.com4HHH

H The Charlotte Convention Center ballroom was a buzz yesterday as coat-ings experts assembled for the official launch of the 2010 American Coatings Conference (ACC). This year’s event exceeded expectations: 876 people registered for the conference, up from 736 in 2008; the 96 presentation slots attracted 226 abstracts. In addition, 46 research teams were invited to submit posters for informal discussion.

Following brief introductions, hosts Steve Sides of the American Coatings Association (ACA), and Sonja Schulte of Vincentz Network, invited guest speak-ers Dennis Ryer of Cook Composites & Polymers (CCP), Bob Enouen of Procter & Gamble (P&G), and Ken Perry of BASF, to deliver keynote presentations.

In the first talk, Enouen and Ryer dis-cussed a groundbreaking collaboration between PG&E and CCP to produce new sucrose ester alkyd resins for low VOC

coatings applications. They explained how their companies overcame techni-cal challenges to make products that are not only green but also outperform tradi-tional solventbased alkyds. “Together, we were able to create more value than we could have done alone,” said Enouen. “Our skill sets were complementary and we shared a common goal and vision.”

Perry’s presentation focused on sustain-ing innovation in difficult times. He spoke about the impact of the recession on the automotive coatings sector and urged or-ganizations to keep innovation and sus-tainability at the heart of their strategies by developing strong leadership, stream-lining processes and adopting a strategic market focus. “When times are tough, companies tend to cut projects with long-term returns in order to save money in the short-term,” said Perrry. “But the best time to innovate is when everyone else is cutting back.”

Sustaining the Future of CoatingsConference keynote speeches highlight sustainability, partnerships and innovation

“This is my first visit to the American Coatings Conference. I hope to

get new insights into the latest technologies and applications from

being here – especially with regards to colors and nanoparticles. We are

focused on educating ourselves as we are looking to develop new

products. Listening to the specialists introducing their technical solu-

tions is a big opportunity for me.”

Keith Saunders, Newell Rubbermaid

“My expertise is in coalescence architectural and light industrial

coatings, so I am looking for new in-sights into products, developments and technologies, all of which I can

get here at this cutting-edge confer-ence. My company is a member of

the American Coatings Association, and I am keen to hear more about

low VOC and green products.”

Juan Jarufe, Xim Products Inc.

“I am a masters student and conduct research in polyurethane technol-ogy. I am proud to be here with my professor and get the chance to listen to different technical insights. My research specialty is automotive finishing, so I am looking forward to gleaning more information about the influence of nanoparticles on poly-urethane coatings performance.”

Awarding Innovations

H In 2008, Vincentz Network and the American Coatings Association created a prestigious award to honor the most outstanding conference presentation at the American Coatings Conference (ACC). One of the highlights of the ACC, the presentation of the 2010 AC Award took place during the opening plenary session yesterday afternoon following the keynote presentations.

A BASF research team won this year’s prize for its groundbreaking work on improving waterborne anticorrosion coatings via new binder concepts. Sonja Schulte of Vincentz Network, and Steve Sides of the American Coatings Associa-tion, invited BASF team members Oihana Elizalde and Collin Moore to the stage to accept a handsome statue and $2,500 in prize money. A third team member, Stephan Amthor, was not in attendance.

BASF’s paper highlights recent innova-tions in the area of polymer colloids and hybrids that offer opportunities to develop novel coatings for metal protection. The re-search demonstrated the possibilities for designing acrylic binders with enhanced barrier properties, low water uptake and improved anticorrosion properties.

“We are thrilled to receive this award,” said Moore before the conference or-

ids, UV/EB curing and nanomaterials (see figure 1). A secondary question, namely to what extent fossil-based raw materials will be replaced by renewable resources in the next five years, yielded interesting response. Nearly 50 percent of the respondents expected the extent to amount to 10 percent (see figure 2).

When asked for which raw material classes they expect a significant increase

in renewable raw materials, 63 percent of respondents indicated binders and resins, followed by additives, fillers and pigments. Obviously, market demands are the main driver for “green” R&D ac-tivities: 64 percent of respondents view them as the most important factor, with legislation, care and responsibility for society, energy prices and raw material prices following.

”We Use Natural Plant Oils to Produce our Alkyd Latex Resins”

H What is the recent technological outcome of the green development in coatings? The American Coatings Show and Conference presents new develop-ments and the latest trends and chal-lenges facing the industry. ACS Daily spoke with Leigh Ann Gibbons who developed an alkyd latex resin based on renewables. To learn more about this product, meet Leigh at Reichhold’s booth #1045 or attend her colleague Jeffrey Dannemann's presentation “Alkyd Latex for Metal Protection,” tomorrow at 09:40 am at the product presentation booth #1715.

ACS Daily: How do you characterize the properties of this new alkyd latex compared to recent alkyd products for decorative coatings?

Leigh Ann Gibbons: “Beckosol AQ” is a new technology platform that brings the benefits of alkyd chemistry into the future. This product line is both low VOC and made from 40-60 percent renewable resources. It brings all the features you expect from an alkyd: the ease of applica-tion, high gloss and good flow and level-ing without the use of solvents. Our first generation products were aimed to tackle architectural applications such as stains and enamels. We have now expanded the line to include products designed for use in

Leigh Ann Gibbons, Reichhold, Inc. Booth #1045

metal primers and general purpose prim-ers for both stain and tannin blocking. Our technology group continues to work dili-gently on growing the product line to pro-vide products for other traditionally high VOC applications. In today’s changing market, we offer an answer to the growing need to meet more stringent regulations and performance requirements. Our goal is to provide alkyd latex resins mixed with environmental responsibility.

What kind of renewables are the basis for this product and how do you guarantee the same performance compared to 100 percent fossil raw materials?

Leigh Ann Gibbons: The renewable resource aspect of our product line is something we are proud of and we hope to spread the message that low VOC does not always mean a product is the best choice or sustainable. We use natural plant oils to produce our alkyd latex re-sins, unlike acrylics which are based on petroleum feed stock. Since this product line uses conventional alkyd chemistry emulsified in water, our customers are getting all the performance they expect when choosing an alkyd without the VOC. We have performed rigorous applications testing to prove that our alkyd latex re sins perform just as good, if not better, than their solventborne alkyd predecessors. The performance beats acrylics in gloss, open time, flow and leveling and adhe-sion. It also has alkyd– like durabi lity, so our customers can feel good about their end product’s life cycle.

Why do you need less additives in paints with your new resin?

Leigh Ann Gibbons: Our product devel-opment requires an altogether approach to the art of formulating a suitable coat-ing. Since AQ is classified as an “alkyd

BASF_ACS_tab_120109.indd 1

latex,” take a few tricks from alkyd for-mulation and mix them with a few from latex formulation and the result is a low – VOC, renewable resource based power-house of a coating system. The product still requires the use of additives, as do other paint formulations, but does not re-quire the use of solvents (VOC) to ensure coating performance properties.

What, When, Where?

“Greening Trends Will Open up Markets”The Canadian coatings market intensifies the shift towards economic low VOC systems

ACS Daily: How is the Canadian coat-ings market structured? What is the relation of imports to exports? To what extent will this ratio change?

Jim Quick: We are structured very simi-lar to the US market with architectural, industrial and automotive refinish sector markets. In 2008, paint exports in Cana-da represented 43 percent of the market. The ratios of Canadian paint exports over domestic paint shipments have been go-ing up steadily over the past 10 years. However, this trend reversed in 2009, as a result of the world-wide economic reces-sion. This was not unique to the coatings sector, since the chemical industry gene-rally had a tough year in 2009. For paint exports specifically, dollar sales figures

went down by 36 percent compared to the previous year. The degree of decline in the whole paint industry should be mod-erate towards the end of the year.

What segments and industries show the strongest demand for coatings? For what types of coatings do you ex-pect growing demand in Canada/North America?

Jim Quick: 2009 was a tough year to judge demand. Paint volumes trended negatively in all segments of the Cana-dian industry. Architectural coatings de-creased less significantly than any other sectors, as they were heavily supported by government stimulus efforts. Longer term greening trends will intensify the demand for low-zero VOC products, open-

H The last year was tough for the coat-ings industry in North America. The impact of the financial downturn has hit paint manufacturers strongly. Even if demand cannot be clearly judged, the president of the Canadian Paint and Coatings Association, Jim Quick, expects the decline in exports of paints and coatings to soften.

ing up markets for industrial, powder and UV/radiation products.

To what extent has REACH affected Canadian paint producers?

Jim Quick: The impact of REACH has not affected Canadian paint produc-ers strongly. In 2008 and 2009, almost 90 percent of paint exports in Canada were shipped to the USA. Only three Eu-ropean countries were among the top ten countries buying paint from Canada – i.e. Germany, Poland and the UK – and their shares did not exceed 2 percent of the to-tal exports.

The situation is similar with Canadian imports: paint imported from European countries did not exceed 6 percent.

“Most Dominant Trend is Simplification”smart coatings can provide functions above and beyond latest properties expected from paints and coatings

Smart coatings can provide additional benefits by giving an appropriate response to outside conditions

H Smart coatings are often referred to as structured coatings which provide additional benefits by giving an ap-propriate response to outside condi-tions. Self-healing, anti-fingerprint and anti-ice coatings, to name only a few, are topics on everyone’s lips. ACS Daily spoke with James W. Rawlins, As-sistant Professor of Polymer Science at the University of Southern Mississippi, who will be one of the speakers of the ACC session on smart coatings.

ACS Daily: How do you define “smart coatings”?

James W. Rawlins: I define smart coat-ings as protective and decorative films that provide functions above and be-yond the latent properties expected from paints and coatings. These functions may be recognizing or sensing environmental conditions such as exceeding a tempera-

ture threshold. Many examples exist for any of the important environmental or potential conditions, i.e., chemical war-fare agents, package tipping beyond an allowable angle, gaseous material de-tection, food spoilage, and excessive UV exposure have all been shown to be pos-sible and most practical as a technology.

What are the latest trends in smart coatings?

James W. Rawlins: Trends? I think the dichotomy between research and com-mercialization is still large enough that many have had an automatic negative re-sponse to the term “smart coatings”. The buzz may wear off before the reduction to practice proves the real value addition and economic feasibility along with ro-bustness for each application. With that said, I think the most dominant trend is simplification. If a material can be easily adapted for robust use then reduction to practice will be more rapid and well re-ceived. Everyone thinks about self-clean-ing or self-healing, and both have been proven possible: the remaining question is how much cleaning and for how long?

Please comment on your particular topic – natural materials in synthetic coatings:

James W. Rawlins: Throughout history, natural materials have been adapting so they can sense, detect, and trigger re-

sponses to almost any mode of positive or negative environmental stimuli very ef-fectively and efficiently, so it makes sense that we should capitalize upon biological materials. Using biomimicry to initiate our work provides a tremendous database to draw upon for early material understand-ing. When properly used, the database is so large that we could never singularly

replicate the understanding that is already available if we look in the right places. The biggest surprise for most is that the natural materials, enzymes, and peptides often have longer useful lives in polymers and similar, or they have improved activity in comparison with the same materials in their natural environment.

James W. Rawlins, University of Southern Mississippi

“Cooperative Efforts Between Academics and Industry Need to Improve Globally” ACS Daily: Meanwhile most water-borne systems show equal skills to solventborne coatings. Where do you see the largest technological backlogs?

Yasmin Sayed-Sweet: The main tech-nological backlogs are in availability of innovative building blocks at a price that market can bare, stabilization of com-ponents in aqueous media and meeting the challenges of VOC and environmental regulations to balance performance.

On the other hand, communication and cooperative efforts between academics

H Waterborne coatings are not just gaining ground – they have become the gold standard in many applications. Yasmin Sayed-Sweet, Vice President at Alberdingk Boley Inc., calls for greater cooperation between universities and manufacturers of raw materials, as well as more joint efforts within the industry, e.g. between raw material producers and coatings manufacturers. The goal here is both to set new trends and to offset current shortcomings in comparison to solventbornes .

Yasmin Sayed-Sweet, Alberdingk Boley Inc. Booth #2841

and industry needs to improve globally for adaptation and incorporation of basic sciences and fundamental principles into the coatings industry.

What technological trends do you expect for future waterborne systems?

Yasmin Sayed-Sweet: The trends are innumerable, as waterborne systems become much more viable technologi-cal alternatives, example as global con-sumer palate gets more sophisticated and conscious of the “green” environ-ment we will see more usage of ultra– low and low– VOC coatings, greater use of solvent– less polymers for industrial and architectural markets. Consumers willing to pay a small premium in their use of en-vironmentally safer alternatives.

Global additives suppliers working co-operatively with polymer manufactur-ers and paint companies to add special effects and added performances, paint companies and suppliers paying more attention to ancillary industries for inno-vative ideas, emerging economies in the forefront of the latest trends with their developed counterparts.

Life cycle analyses which include energy consumption and CO2 emissions will have a major impact in days ahead, as Neal Rogers from Cook Composites & Polymers discusses.

“It is Crucial to Locate Development Partners”Sustainability influences our work today – and will continue even more in the future

Neal Rogers, Cook Composites & Polymers Booth #2551

ACS Daily: How do you realize sustainabil-ity for your products?

Neal Rogers: We realize sustainability in product development efforts by striving to use a greater portion of raw materials derived from crop-based renewable resources. For example, my company is actively developing and expanding a product platform of coatings resins modified with sucrose polyesters which are derived di-rectly from sugar and vegetable oils. The sucrose polyesters displace petroleum-based components to create resins with a very high renewable content.

To accelerate development of sustain-able product solutions, it is crucial to locate development partners willing to collaborate to tailor the sustainable chemistry to create viable end products.

AC Literature

A World of Quality InformationAn extensive series of technological coatings textbooks is available at the ACS

ACS Daily: How much progress have high solids made during the last decade?

Tony Rende, OPC Polymers: We have seen significant gains in the use of High Solids technology as the AIM regula-tions have come into force. Ten years ago high– solids technology probably repre-sented less than 1 percent of the total res-in sales, now they can account for much as 10 percent of total alkyd resin sales.

In that time, the high solids offerings have increased from just a few special-ized products to a more robust and com-plete product line with multiple offerings across the full spectrum of alkyd resins technologies. Today there is a high– sol-ids offset available for nearly every con-ventional resin type.

Where do you see the largest poten-tials for this technology?

Tony Rende: When first introduced, high– solids resins offered the quick-est approach to meeting the regulatory targets at that time. However with the introduction of exempt solvents such as Oxsol and TBA and the more recent em-phasis on alkyd emulsions and disper-sions, there are more options available to the formulator.

We expect continued growth of high– so-lids, but possibly at a slower pace as a re-sult of the introduction of complaint sol-vents and waterborne alkyd alternatives.

Just as high– solids versions have been introduced to duplicate the conventional resin product line, we now have the same range available in exempt solvent techno-logies and we expect that, in the next few years, we will see the same with the alkyd emulsion and dispersion technology.

ACS Daily: Which analytical methods do you recommend as the most impor-tant for developing a coating?

Stephen C. Hall: To understand the per-formance and aesthetic properties of a coating, you must first understand the performance targets and technical barri-ers. The analytical techniques can range from Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), to modulated Differential Scanning Calo-rimetry (mDSC), particle size distribu-tion (PSD), molecular weight obtained through Gel Permeation Chromatogra-phy (GPC), Dynamic Contact Angle (DCA), Dynamic Mechanical Angle (DMA), etc. The most important analytical technique to develop a unique coating is to truly un-derstand the chemistry. Simply putting raw materials together without knowing the interaction or chemical structure is

not sufficient. Coatings development re-quires consideration of not only how the coating is produced, but how it is applied and the mode of cure.

How do you deal with failure analy-sis during production control?

Stephen C. Hall: Failure analysis can be defined as the process of collecting and analyzing data to determine the cause of a failure. Inspection alone (in manufac-turing) can only detect that there is a fail-ure in production and does not lend itself to the mode of failure. Process control, in my opinion, is the single most valuable tool for production. Proven process con-trol parameters can expedite the failure mode analysis. The systematic analysis for failure can only be effective if the root cause of the failure is defined before any corrective action is implemented. If a cor-rective action is implemented prior to this important step, then the process is still out of control. For example, if the vis-cosity of a coating is out of specification, a review of the actual process compared to the control is required. A set of steps to define how to correct the issue is well defined within the control parameters. Of course, a knowledgeable and proficient production staff is needed to ensure con-formance to all production parameters.

“Broad Exposure to New Technology”ACS provides good Opportunities for Students and Universities

H ACS not only provides a first-class forum for coatings companies: universi-ties and research institutions also have a great opportunity to present their work, share their knowledge and meet with other industry experts. ACS Daily asked Michael Van De Mark, Director of Missouri S&T Coatings Institute, about his expectations for the show.

ACS Daily: Why does your institute exhibit at the American Coatings Show 2010?

Michael Van De Mark: The American Coatings Show has been an integral component of our program for many years. The American Coatings Show gives Missouri S&T Coatings Institute an opportunity to show the coatings indus-try our students, research and programs. We also utilize this as an opportunity to meet with many alumni, short-course participants and companies with whom we have worked over the years. The show

also gives us the best broad-based expo-sure to new technology.

What technological trends do you expect to see in Charlotte?

Michael Van De Mark: The main tech-nologies I expect to see are the applica-tion of nanotechnology, new methods to lower VOC and approaches to environ-mental challenges. The issue of the total

environmental impact should be gaining exposure. This approach includes the new BEES model being pushed by the Department of Agriculture and NIST for coatings application.

What R&D projects is your institute currently working on?

eas include a more rapid coalescing water-borne resin, better freeze thaw resistance, and natural product derived resins. We are also working on dual cure resin technology. The dual cure will use both photochemicals and a second curing system to gain rapid dry to handle and yet fully cure for ultimate performance. Low cost and solventless coatings are the target.

2. Shift towards field products: Improve-ments in field equipment design and reli-ability coupled with novel 100 percent UV and waterborne UV formulations are moving technology out of the factory into new are as such as floor coatings and re-finish.

3. Change in substrates: With advances in molecular design, there has been a recent trend away from (semi) porous substrates, such as wood and paper, and towards applications involving metal and plastic substrates. Advanced coil coating trials led by major industry players, as well as the increased adoption of special-ty UV coatings in the consumer electronic industry, are good examples.

4. Adoption of waterborne UV: UV wa-terbased technology has continued to grow across several market segments due to its successful combination of low viscosity, high performance and compli-ance with various environmental regula-tions (VOC, HAPS, green labeling).

5. Sustainability: UV technology already has an excellent eco-friendly profile (low VOC, low energy, etc.) but there has been a clear trend in the market towards low carbon footprint and adoption of renew-able raw materials in formulations.

In which markets do you expect the strongest growth of UV technology?

Doug Hartman: Advances in both chem-istry and application technologies are ac-celerating the adoption of UV technology. Four markets that we believe will show strong growth as a result are:

1. UV– waterbased wood finishes: Al-ready well established in the parquet

segment, UV curing is ideally positioned to grow in the broader furniture market, thanks to recent advances in waterborne resins that overcome both environmental and technical challenges. Novel solvent-free UV curable polyurethane dispersions have already been shown to outperform other coating technologies in terms of wood wetting, abrasion, scratch resis-tance and stain resistance.

2. Field– applied floor coatings: Further engineering of movable UV curing units, together with development of suitable UV resins, will permit a rapid growth of UV technology in field applied concrete, plastic and wood coatings.

3. Consumer electronics: We expect strong growth in various plastic hard coating markets, where the use of new UV curable polyurethane dispersions allow for spray application without sol-

vents and top-of-the-range coating performance.

4. Packaging: As a pioneer in

the development of low– extract-able and low–odor (LEO) re sins for en-ergy curable inks and coatings, we strongly believe in the continuous growth of this tech-nology in the food packaging value chain.

What needs have not yet been met but will be resolved within the next few years?

Doug Hartman: Advances in devel-opment of UV– curable materials with enhanced barrier properties, in combi-nation with flexibility and outdoor resis-tance, will enable the penetration of UV technology into emerging electronic ap-plications such as LED displays and pho-tovoltaic applications.

As the use of plastics increases in the packaging and label industry, innovative solutions which permit adhesion on dif-ficult substrates (e.g. BOPP), will allow further penetration of Radcure technol-ogy in the printing industry.

“Clear Trend towards Low Carbon Footprint”UV-Technology is expected to show strong Growth

H Advances in both chemistry and application technologies are accelerat-ing the adoption of UV-technology in various markets. In an interview with ACS Daily, Doug Hartman, Global Mar-keting Director at Cytec UV/EB curable resins & additives, emphasizes the eco-friendly profile of this technology.

ACS Daily: What have been the big-gest steps for UV– technology over the last five years?

Doug Hartman: We continue to moni-tor and play a key role in driving broader adoption of UV-technology across multi-ple coating and graphic segments. Some of the major shifts that we have observed over the last five years include:

1. Low– energy cure alternatives: De-velopment of low– energy curing lamps (such as UV LED and UV-A) and of tailor-made resins broadened the Radcure technology application window in areas such as graphics, wood coatings, and au-tomotive refinish.

UV technology is also used for electronic applications such as LED displays

Future-focused Technologies and HonorsAmerican Coatings Conference highlights today: Mattiello Lecture and waterborne sessions

H The second day of the American Coatings Conference once again offers multiple highlights you won't want to miss. Willie Lau of the Dow Chemical Company is receiving the Mattiello Award and will hold his presentation in the morning. The Waterborne I & II sessions will cover the latest devel-opments and trends in the world of waterbased coating systems.

As the first day of the American Coat-ings Conference, yesterday was full of must-see events. The winners of the Roon Awards and the American Coatings Award – the prize for the best paper of the conference – were announced at the plenary session. The technical program started in the afternoon with exciting sessions such as “Science Today – Coat-ings Tomorrow” and “Radiation Curing.”

Mattiello Lecture by Willie Lau

The second day of the conference is full of even more special events. At 09:00 am, Willie Lau, a scientist at The Dow Chemical Company, will hold the Mattiello Lecture, “Frontiers in Emulsion Polymerization for Coatings.” He will talk about the recent development of polymer systems deriv-

ing from the polymerization technology based on cyclodextrin as a phase trans-port catalyst.

Future technology trend: waterborne

The first session on waterborne systems looks at new binderbased developments like functional resins, customized alkyd emulsions, novel 1K and 2K binders for dif-

ferent applications and organic-inorganic hybrid technology. The presentations will include Umesh Harkal from North Dakota State University talking about

“Novel Waterborne Glycidil Carbamate (GC) Coatings.” Yong Hee-Lee of the Ko-rea Institute of Construction Materials in South Korea will discuss “Synthesis and Evaluation Properties of Waterborne Ep-oxy-Ester Resins,” providing interesting insights into research. Other speakers in this session include representatives of Reichhold, KCC, Dow Chemical Company and Cytec Industries.

The six papers of the second session in the afternoon focus on novel materials and their mode of action for waterborne coatings. Tara Everett, Ashland Aqualon Function Ingredients, will discuss the “Evaluation of the Impact of Paint Addi-tives on Coatings.” Raymond Fernando, California Polytechnic State University will address the topic of “Shear Thickening in Aqueous Surfactant-Associative Thickener Mixtures” in his talk. Other contributions in this session come from Cognis, DuPont Titanium Mexico, Cyctec Industries and Merck, Germany.
