Sustainability and convenience are megatrends that determine how architectural paints are formulated and produced. How can polymer binders contribute here? We have compiled some ideas: from ultra-low-VOC formulations to dispersions produced with renewable raw materials, biocide-free solutions and easy-to-apply paints.   Curious? Read this article to find out how paints formulated with WACKER binders follow global megatrends: 👉 https://bit.ly/47GrhhT #TeamWallSystem #coatings #vinnapas

BioRock is significantly less expensive than any concrete technology in any marine application.

MasterSeal 7000 CR is a good example of how to succeed in a change of era that requires us to innovate in the way we take decisions, especially for water preservation. Launched in 2017, MasterSeal 7000 CR offers a new way to renew wastewater tanks. Based on our own Xolutec technology, the innovation found in MasterSeal 7000 CR lies in its combination of crack-bridging properties with the level of chemical resistance required in each stage of the current processes of treating urban wastewater. Its novel resin technology gives it a high tolerance to moisture so that it can be applied on very damp substrates by spray or roller providing a quick curing system. The result is longer-lasting structures and, crucially, less downtime, planned or unplanned. 👉🏼 Read more about this waterproofing and concrete protection system: https://lnkd.in/eyy_p3s3 #Sika #SikaMBCC #SikaSpirit #MasterSeal7000CR #ConcreteProtection #Waterproofing #Durability #XolutecTechnology

Interesting. Fungi could be part of the solution to flammable cladding. If this research becomes commercial reality, buildings could be much, much safer. Surely, anything's got to be better than the ACP product with a polyethylene at its core that has been put on so many buildings across the world.

Bio-cement... it's a solid idea

Fun, fun and always fun with glass. Also following unprecedented and quite surprising paths. I am happy to introduce a new publication: https://rdcu.be/dt8DY The paper still derives from the very fruitful cooperation between colleagues of the University of Padova (Department of Industrial Engineering, CerAMglass group [https://lnkd.in/dTvdnm9G]) and colleagues from the FunGlass centre of the Alexander Dubcek University of Trencin, in the framework of the FunGlass project [H2020-WIDESPREAD-01-2016-2017-TeamingPhase2, project number 739566 - https://www.funglass.eu/]. For the sake of international cooperation, however, significant input came also from Dr. Stabile, from National University of La Plata and CETMIC (Argentina). Again, we are discussing the quite particular effects of alkali activation of fine glass particles. In this case, applied twice. One as preliminary treatment of powders, before flame spheroidization. One as a way to determine the cold consolidation of porous spheres, with the manufacturing of pellets. Porous microspheres can be used as fillers (see https://lnkd.in/d5B9CYTY) in cold consolidated 3D-printed scaffolds; in the present case, the cold consolidation involves only microspheres. Like 3D-printed scaffolds, pellets are suggested as tools for wastewater remediation. We are not tired of using waste (=waste glass, from fibre manufacturing) used to combat waste (=wastewaters)!

See how Terrafend's innovative Ambimization® technology improved employee health & safety, reduced VOCs by 99% and decreased waste by 75% in Scott Bader UK’s paste plant. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/dD9NcqWY Ambimization® combines chemical and mechanical engineering to provide a revolutionary approach to cleaning. Ambimization® water-based fluids are non-flammable, non-carcinogenic and non-toxic. They work at ambient temperature and can be used repeatedly before reaching end of life, thus reducing workplace risk, energy consumption, and VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). #sustainability #circulareconomy #sustainablemanufacturing #innovation #cleantech #carbonneutral #coatings #netzero #healthandsafety #ScottBader
