The chemistry of isocyanates
Isocyanates are frequently used in the coatings world. We will discuss here their synthesis, we will see examples of commercial isocyanates, we will see their reactions and we will discuss adducts of isocyanates. Waterborne- and blocked isocyanates are discussed as well. Finally we will see the d...

Waterborne binders
Waterborne binders are increasingly important for modern coatings. We will see an introduction and some figures. We will discuss stabilization mechanisms and look at the viscosity of waterborne binders. Two important classes of waterborne binders are discussed: polyurethane dispersions and acryli...
