Rohm and Haas Earns Award at European Coatings Congress

摘要

PHILADELPHIA - Zhenwen Fu, a scientist with Rohm and Haas' Paint and Coatings Materials division, was awarded Best Paper recognition during the 2009 European Coat-ings Show Congress held in Nurnberg, Germany. Fu's paper presented findings related to a new diffusion technology in latex paint film formulations. In latex-based coatings, VOCs are used as coalescents to ensure film formation. This new technology significantly improves early property development of waterbbrne latex coatings in a reduced, low-VOC formulation that maintains coalescence performance to achieve required hardness, block, print and dirt-pick-up resistance necessary for industrial coatings.
