It is soon one year that I have been SLF president. The planning of the SLF congress is now well under way and our new SLF homepage is nearing completion. I would like to thank the national presidents and the SLF congress organising committee for their hard work and commitment during 2013. A special thanks to Anette Nordskog from Norway for her efforts in rejuvenating our SLF homepage. We hope to have it up and running early next year. Please also already book 16-18 September 2015 for the next SLF Congress to be held in Gothenburg at the Post Hotel. During the past autumn I have visited the national Färg och Lack meetings in Norway, Sweden and Finland. It was interesting to see now similar the organisations work in each country to present interesting and social meetings. The local committees work very hard and spend time outside from work in organising these meetings for ordinary members. Therefore I encourage all members to more regularly attend Färg och Lack meetings and also to send in photos from meetings for publication in our journal. Also please spread information about our organisation to raw material suppliers encouraging them to send in articles to our journal and possibly even supporting financially via advertising. In 2014 I will also attend a meeting in Denmark. In October I had the pleasure of at- tending the Japanese Coatings Society (JSCM, Japanese Society of Colour Material) annual meeting. The JSCM is the equivalent to the SLF for Japan. This meeting was their 85th anniversary and also hosted the Coatings Societies International (CSI) annual meeting. The meeting was meticulously organised in the best possible Japanese fashion! There were 75 participants, which is low compared to SLF meetings. Most presentations were of high academic standard and presented by Professors from Japan, Korea and Germany with focus on future high technology coatings. I also attended the CSI meeting where we discussed the future of CSI and revised the CSI aims and by-laws. I will present minutes from this meeting in the next Färg och Lack issue in March 2014. In late January the SLF Board will be having its annual meeting. We plan to discuss the new SLF homepage in detail. I will also present a progress report for the SLF congress. If any member would like raise any matters with the SLF Board please feel free to send me an email at [email protected] or telephone +46735936301. Finally I wish you all a relaxing Christmas and all the best 2014. Let’s hope for a snowy and real white winter, at least for our children! Best regards, Laszlo Guitman, SLF President 3 December 2013 3 Performance Minerals for High Quality Cost Effective Paint Solutions As the number one supplier of white minerals for a variety of industries, Imerys has a long established reputation for supplying innovative, high quality products for the coatings formulator, from the traditional high performance hydrous and calcined kaolin clays through micas to the highly functional diatomaceous earths. All are produced to the high quality that you would expect from the leading supplier and all are backed by a wealth of coatings technical experience, helping you to get the best performance from your products. Titanium Dioxide Savings from Opacifying Extenders Titanium dioxide extension has never been more important in decorative paints. Whether you are looking for cost savings from reduced titanium dioxide levels or improved opacity and hiding power for higher performance paints, Imerys’ experience with opacifying extenders can help. Supreme™, Speswhite™, Polwhite™, Polsperse™ - hydrous kaolins for improved TiO2 efficiency in matt paints Our range of hydrous kaolins, or china clays, has been designed to give the paint formulator maximum flexibility in the production of high quality decorative coatings. These fine particle size clays help to reduce the crowding of TiO2 in matt paints, improving their light scattering performance and increasing opacity. This improved opacity then allows the paint producer to reduce the total titanium dioxide content of the formulation without any loss of hiding power. In addition to helping with the efficient use of TiO2, these kaolins also introduce a degree of thixotropy to the coating, giving excellent in-can stability and increased sag resistance. The structure and make-up of Imerys’ functional kaolins make them ideal for use in modern water based paints where their platy nature and surface charge allow them to disperse easily and yet maintain a high degree of stability and anti-settling in the finished coating. Supreme™ and Speswhite™ hydrous kaolins allow the reduction of up to 15% of the titanium dioxide content in high quality water-based matt decorative paints. Using specially selected feed from Cornwall, UK, Supreme and Speswhite are engineered to ultrafine average particle sizes to give optimal spacing of titanium dioxide in a coating, resulting in high paint opacity in combination with higher thixotropy. The Polwhite™ products combine opacity with matting effects and improved scrub resistance for higher PVC paints. The Polsperse™ range is comprised of similar pulverised kaolins for good dispersibility in solvent-based systems. Introducing OptiGloss™ and ImerSilk™ extenders for gloss and semi-gloss water-based paints The latest additions to the Imerys hydrous kaolin range are OptiGloss™ and ImerSilk™. These two products have been optimised specifically for use in higher gloss paints. ImerSilk™ has the optimal 4 balance of opacity and controlled gloss reduction making it ideal for semi-gloss, silk and satin finishes. OptiGloss™ goes a step further and can be used in full gloss water-based paints; Imerys has developed a particular formulation method allowing its use in these systems which previously were difficult to extend without a substantial reduction in gloss level. This has made significant savings possible by the reduction of binder in the formulation as well as titanium dioxide. Typical results demonstrate savings of up to 10% in both binder and TiO2. Benefits are also seen in the block resistance of high gloss paints. Opacilite™ and PoleStar™ calcined clays for improved dry hiding Opacilite™, Europe’s leading flash calcined kaolin clay, provides the paint formulator with a tool to reduce TiO2 by up to 20% when replacing conventional minerals such as calcium carbonate. The discrete sealed voids within the particle provide light scattering without increasing film porosity, improving both wet and dry opacity. Opacilite is suitable for use over a wide PVC range and is especially effective in silk and satin paints through to high quality matt coatings. When used in “Eco-friendly” paints, Opacilite enables the formulator to reduce their carbon footprint through the partial replacement of TiO2 and helps to retain the high performances demanded by today’s consumers. PoleStar™ calcined clay helps to optimise the dry hiding effect in coatings formulated above the CPVC, increasing paint opacity and therefore allowing titanium dioxide reduction for cost-effective higher PVC coatings. 5 Matting Agents for Improved Mechanical Properties and Very Low Sheen Paints Imerys has a history of introducing innovative matting agents to the coatings industry. Whether the requirement is for a very low sheen level or for good paint mechanical properties such as burnish and scrub resistance, the Imerys range offers matting agents optimised for todays’ decorative paints. OpTiMat™ - outstanding matting performance The OpTiMat™ range of matting agents has been designed to give exceptional, cost effective matting performance in the next generation of high performance paints and coatings. OpTiMat™ provides excellent matting properties at a significantly reduced loading level compared to other matting agents. Unlike many of the previous generation of matting agents, OpTiMat™ benefits from low crystalline silica content. With typical addition levels of between 1 and 3%, the use of OpTiMat™ not only produces a very low gloss or sheen level in the paint (85° sheen at or below 1 gloss unit is achievable) but also produces relatively smooth surface textures and offers excellent burnish resistance in comparison with coarse calcium carbonates. The traditional use of coarse carbonates to produce matt coatings with acceptable scrub and mud crack resistance inevitably leads to rougher film surfaces. These relatively rough surfaces are easy to burnish, leading to increased gloss in localised areas of contact. The structure of OpTiMat™ produces a far more effective “micro roughness” at the coating surface giving high degrees of diffuse light scattering. The unique structure and irregular shape also make OpTiMat™ difficult to burnish and can help improve paint touch-up properties. EcoFlat™ – matting with burnish and scrub resistance EcoFlat™ is the latest of Imerys’ advanced matting agents for coatings. Based on a hybrid natural diatomaceous earth from a new deposit, EcoFlat™ is characterised by having a low oil absorption and excellent colour properties, being of high brightness and low yellowness. Like OpTiMat™, EcoFlat™ is low in crystalline silica. EcoFlat™ 1880 Improved scrub resistance of EcoFlat™ 6 Burnishing, the increase in gloss sometimes seen when a matt paint is cleaned or rubbed, is reduced significantly by using a hard mineral extender. Diatomaceous earth makes an ideal matting agent for paints because of its high mineral hardness, as well as excellent matting properties. But what makes EcoFlat™ uniquely different from other diatomaceous earths is its low oil absorption. This means that superior scrub and stain resistance can be maintained in the matt paint while also benefitting from high burnish resistance. Mud Crack Resistance and Barrier Properties from Mica Mica has long been established as the optimum product for improving the mud crack resistance of decorative paints, as well as being known for its barrier properties in industrial coatings. The high aspect ratio platy structure of Imerys micas help to reduce mud cracking by reducing crack propagation within the film. The platy structure of mica and the alignment of these plates are clearly evident in a micrograph of a paint film cross section. These overlapping plates enable mica to prevent the mud cracking caused by internal stresses in the film by enhancing flexibility and preventing crack propagation. With mica resources in Europe and North America, Imerys can provide suitable products for a wide variety of end uses, from fine particle size micronised micas for decorative and industrial coatings through to more specialised larger particle size micas for plasters and speciality coatings giving textured and effect finishes.

Different efficiency of different grades of AEROSIL® is demonstrated on example of different solvents and different resins. The basic principles of the choice of the appropriate grade are formulated. Key words: viscosity, rheologic behavior, thixotropy Introduction The versatility of AEROSIL® fumed silica as rheologic additive is well known in science and technology. Since decades AEROSIL® is used to achieve thixotropic or even dilatant properties in different liquid systems, throughout entire industrial landscape including pharmaceutical industry, coatings industry, manufacturing of adhesives and sealants, cosmetics, etc [1]. The ability of AEROSIL® to modify rheologic properties of continuous media is determined by its morphology and by surface groups. The morphology of AEROSIL® is determined by primary particle size, by aggregate size, and by fractal dimension. Primary particle size directly determines specific surface area, which is commonly used to distinguish between different grades of AEROSIL® fumed silica. In range of surface areas higher than 150 m²/g most of AEROSIL® grades have approximately the same aggregate size. Two large different types of surface groups for AEROSIL® can be distinguished – hydrophilic and hydrophobic. Hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity determine the kind of interaction with continuous media, they define compatibility with the system. The lower the compatibility is, the higher is the rheologic efficiency of AEROSIL®. So, the viscosity of non-polar media can be very efficiently modified by use of hydrophilic grades of 8 AEROSIL® fumed silica. Contrary, the viscosity of polar media can be efficiently modified by hydrophobic grades of AEROSIL® [2,3]. a) b) Figure 1. Influence of different AEROSIL® grades on viscosity of butyl acetate (a) and butyl alcohol (b). Dispersing conditions: dissolver, 10 minutes at 2000 rot/min. This observation is clearly demonstrated in Fig. 1. Here, thickening efficiency of different AEROSIL® grades has been studied in two different solvents, common in coatings industry. So AEROSIL® 200 shows by far the best performance in butyl acetate (Fig. 1, a), followed by AEROSIL® R 812 and AEROSIL® R 805. However, in butyl alcohol the best performance has been observed for AEROSIL® R 805, which outperforms by far all other grades tested. The silanol groups of AEROSIL® 200 disturb butyl acetate much more than butyl alcohol. As result, the viscosity of butyl acetate increases through addition of So AEROSIL® 200 much more, than the viscosity of butyl alcohol. The repellence between organic groups on the surface of AEROSIL® R 805 and butyl alcohol is much stronger than for the butyl acetate. This fact makes AEROSIL® R 805 so efficient in butyl alcohol. The demonstration of these results allows to draw the first guide line, while choosing the appropriate grade of AEROSIL® fumed silica for some defined system. However, industrial coating systems contain many components, i.e. solvent, binder, filler, etc. All these components have an impact on the polarity of the system, and more detailed study of influence of AEROSIL® on the system is required. 9 Experimental part As a model system, two component epoxy coating system has been chosen. As a first step, a concentrated paste has been prepared. This paste contains epoxy resin, wetting agents, fumed silica, and solvent. After mixing by ball mill (Scandex) during 5 minutes, pigments and fillers have been added to the paste. The mixture has been homogenized by dissolver blade during 15 minutes (4000 rot/min). Amine-based hardener has been used as component two. The exact formulation is presented in Table 1. Table 1.

First of all, rheologic behavior of pastes has been flow curves of pastes have been measured. Before measurement, pastes have been sheared during 30 s at shear rate of 50 1/s. The rheologic behavior of coating after addition of hardener has been characterized by means of so-called step-curves. In these measurements viscosity is measured at high and low shear rate alternately. The measurement has been started at high but constant shear rate of 500 1/s. After 120 s shear rate has been reduced abruptly down to 0.5 1/s and was kept constant for 300 s. The 10 sharpness of the viscosity increase gives an impression on the thixotropy of the system. Results and discussion Flow curves for pastes, containing different grades of AEROSIL® are presented in Figure 1. As can be seen, influence of AEROSIL® can dramatically change the viscosity of paste at low shear rate, while viscosity at high shear rate tends to the same limit – to the viscosity of the paste without AEROSIL®. This value is independent on AEROSIL® grade in formulation. In other words, the paste demonstrates a clear thixotropic behavior. However, different AEROSIL® grades have different impact on the paste viscosity at low shear rate. AEROSIL® R 202 leads to extremely pronounced thixotropy of paste, while AEROSIL® R 972 and AEROSIL® R 812 S lead to rather moderate thixotropic properties. Widely used in coating industry AEROSIL® 200 is less efficient in paste than AEROSIL® R 202, but it is significantly more efficient than all other grades studied. 250000 reference AEROSIL® 200 AEROSIL® R 202 AEROSIL® R 805 AEROSIL® R 812 S AEROSIL® R 972 η (mPa s) 200000 150000 100000 50000 0 0.01 0.1 1 10 γ (1/s) Figure. 1. Flow curve of paste in dependency on AEROSIL® grade. A similar behavior has been observed on a coating after addition of the hardener, but some important deviations from the paste have been observed (Figures 2 and 3). As presented in Figure 2, the most significant increase of viscosity between high and low 11 shear rates has been observed for AEROSIL® 200. Use of this grade leads to jumplike change of viscosity from 2500 mPa∙s to 70000 mPa∙s. Use of AEROSIL® R 202 leads to less pronounced increase: from 1800 mPa∙s to 27000 mPa∙s and is comparable with change in viscosity as observed for AEROSIL® R 805. However, in formulation with AEROSIL® R 200 viscosity decreases significantly after reaching the maximum value at constant shear rate. The same behavior is observed for for formulation with AEROSIL® R 805, while formulations with AEROSIL® R 202, AEROSIL® R 812 S, and AEROSIL® R 972 show rather stable character. 70000 AEROSIL® 200 AEROSIL® R 202 AEROSIL® R 805 AEROSIL® R 812 S AEROSIL® R 972 reference 60000 η(mPa s) 50000 40000 30000 20000 10000 0 0 200 400 600 t (s) 800 1000 1200 Figure. 2. Two component epoxy system directly after addition of hardener: viscosity increase through jump-like increase of shear rate. This observation leads to conclusion, that formulation with AEROSIL® 200 will be more influenced by aging than other formulations. Indeed, if the same measurement is carried out with coatings 30 minutes after addition of the hardener, the difference between formulation, containing AEROSIL® 200 and all other formulations is less significant (Figure 2 b). Indeed, the formulation with AEROSIL® 200 losses nearly one third of its initial viscosity al low shear rate, while formulation with AEROSIL® R 202 losses only about fifteen percent. Formulation with AEROSIL® R 805 shows also instability comparable with the formulation with AEROSIL® 200. Formulations with AEROSIL® R 812 S and AEROSIL® R 972 demonstrate a stable behavior, even though these grades are not as efficient as AEROSIL® 200. 12 70000 70000 AEROSIL® AEROSIL® 200 200 AEROSIL® AEROSIL® R R 202 202 AEROSIL® R 805 AEROSIL® R 805 AEROSIL® 200 AEROSIL® R 812 S AEROSIL® R AEROSIL® R 812 202 S AEROSIL® R 972 AEROSIL® AEROSIL® R R 972 805 reference reference AEROSIL® R 812 S AEROSIL® R 972 reference 70000 60000 60000 η(mPas)s) η(mPa s) η(mPa 60000 50000 50000 50000 40000 40000 40000 30000 30000 30000 20000 20000 20000 10000 10000 10000 0 0 0 0 200 200 400 400 600 600 tt (s) (s) 800 800 1000 1000 1200 1200 0 200 400 600 t (s) 800 1000 1200 0 Figure.

Den endelige overtagelse forventes at ske i løbet af første kvartal 2014, og på dette tidspunkt vil alle Burcharths forretningsmæssige operationer samt produktion være overflyttet til Teknos’ danske fabrik i Vamdrup, som kun ligger 15 km væk. Overtagelsen vil styrke Teknos’ position inden for vandbaserede overfladebehandlingsprodukter til metal i særdeleshed i Skandinavien og i en række nordeuropæiske lande, og den vil tillige styrke vores eksisterende teknologier inden for vandbaserede overfladebehandlingssystemer til motorblokke. Teknos’ mest betydningsfulde globale forretningsområder omfatter i øjeblikket pulvermaling og vådmaling til metalog træindustrien, bygningsmaling og specialprodukter. Teknos’ omsætning i 2013 er estimeret til 2,1 milliard kroner, hvilket svarer til cirka 7 % vækst. Indtjeningsniveauet er ligeledes forbedret i forhold til de foregående år. Teknos vil forsætte forretningsudviklingen gennem yderligere investeringer for at sikre de fremtidige forventninger om vækst.

Sales and technical support will also be provided throughout North and South America, Europe, Australia, China, India, and South East Asia. Chromaflo Technologies will have global sales, manufacturing and technical capabilities with revenue in excess of US $400 million annually. “The combination of the CPS Colorants business with Chromaflo Technologies is a perfect fit of two players in different segments of the colorants industry,” said Scott Becker, CEO of the new Chromaflo Technologies. “This combination brings together complementary manufacturing capabilities, broadens our base of technologies and expands our global platform. All of this when backed with a strong customer focus by an experienced team will enable us to meet customers’ varied requirements on both a local and global basis.” Peter Baggen, formerly Executive Vice President Colorants at CPS Color, will run the EMEA operations of Chromaflo Technologies. He said, “The new platform will allow us to create greater value and provide expanded opportunities for our customers. Integrated tinting, which means having the best possible product in each part of the tinting process, will remain our focus.” The new combined company will be majority owned and controlled by Arsenal Capital Partners.
