The stabilising effect of polyacrylate block copolymers on pigment dispersion is shown to depend both on the chemical anchoring groups and on the type of pigment dispersed. A highly regular polymer architecture also helps to produce more stable adsorption on the pigment surface....

The photoactivity of TiO2 catalyses coating degradation. The hydrophilicity and level of surface moisture on TiO2 particles were found to be directly proportional to photoactivity. Thus, if TiO2 can be kept dry in a paint its photoactivity should be reduced. Notably, a fully calcined TiO2 sample showed no hydrophilicity and negligible photoactivity....

Pure acrylic waterborne technology improves the exterior durability of coatings applied on various substrates. Furthermore, the use of pigment encapsulated technology (PET) in masonry paints gives good adhesion to mineral substrates. Replacing part of the TiO2 and binder with an opaque polymer also brings improvements and PET and organic opacifiers when used together also show benefits....

Sprayed concrete is used in large quantities on major construction projects. As rebound during spraying results in loss of material and affects proper-ties, polymer additives were designed specifically to reduce this problem. Large-scale tests confirmed that adhesion to wet substrates, permeability and cracking could all be improved. The added costs can be more than offset by reductions in working time....
