Unlocking Performance in Specialty Paints with OPTI-MATT™ MT-8 100% Acrylic Emulsion Extender
Dan Fonseca l 10:00-10:15am l Show Floor
Learn how non‑film‑forming emulsion, like OPTI-MATT™ MT-8 100% Acrylic Emulsion Extender can be used in place of inorganic extenders in coatings to enhance scuff, mar, and color transfer resistance. See how added abrasion and hot tire pickup resistance makes this solution ideal for garage floors, wood stains, concrete sealers, and sports surface coatings.
Technology Advances in Adhesion of Acrylic Coatings to Roof Substrates
George Daisey l 1:30-2:00pm l Room 143-145
Explore chemistry‑driven strategies to improve acrylic coating adhesion to roofing substrates. Learn how polymer design impacts adhesion and discover a new 2026 technology delivering superior performance on asphaltic surfaces and EPDM, compared with best‑in‑class acrylics and epoxy primers—while enhancing silicone roof coating performance.
DOWSIL™ 213S & 214S Next Gen Slip & Mar Additives for Abrasion & Scuff Resistance
George Daisey l 1:30-2:00pm l Room 143-145
Learn how ultra‑high molecular weight silicone dispersions enhance slip, mar, scratch, and abrasion resistance in waterborne coatings—delivering durable surface performance while maintaining key coating properties at low use levels.
Modernizing Exterior Exposure Methods to Align with Emerging Trends
Heather Eckenrode l 3:30-4:00pm l Room 137-139
Rapid material innovation is challenging traditional methods for evaluating exterior architectural coatings. Join us to learn more about legacy exposure testing and updated approaches that better capture durability and claims enabled by resins.
RHOPLEX™ RN-128 All-Acrylic USDA Certified Biobased Product Supporting High-Quality Paint Performance
Paul Doll l 10:40-10:55am l Show Floor
Discover our plant‑based, 100% acrylic emulsion for interior architectural coatings. With ~27% bio‑based carbon content, RHOPLEX™ RN-128 delivers all‑acrylic performance while supporting sustainability and reduced reliance on fossil‑based feedstocks.
TAMOL™ 9802 Functional Additive for Improving Open Time & Application Performance
Sunny Wang l 3:20-3:35pm l Show Floor
Join us to learn how this functional additive extends open time and working window for coatings without increasing formulation VOC. Explore benefits including improved flow and leveling while maintaining good sag resistance, with minimal impact to stain removal and scrub resistance.
Innovating Architectural Coatings through Descriptor-based Design
Partha Majumdar l 5:00-5:30pm l Room 143-145
Learn how descriptor‑based design for architectural coating formulation is shifting from product‑centric methods to data‑driven approaches using quantifiable material descriptors. This approach enables precise formulation tuning, clearer understanding of material interactions, and targeted differentiation in optical and resistance properties through robust, high‑throughput methodologies.
