NOVEL POLYAMIDE IMPROVES APPEARANCE

Rheology control technology is one of the most important coatings technologies, along with dispersion and surface tension control. A wide variety of materials, regardless of whether they are inorganic or organic, are being used as rheology control additives (RCA), and most of them utilise intermolecular interactions such as hydrogen bonds to function as RCA. Compounds containing amide groups, urethane groups, urea groups, etc. are often used in RCAs due to their strong hydrogen bonding power. In recent years, amide-based RCAs, which consist of bio-based fatty acids and diamines, are gaining attention as a sustainable material. In this article, we will ...
