10/12/2010 What are the Best Rheological Properties for Waterborne Paints and Coatings? Dr. Daniel SaucyDaniel Saucy Interview Waterborne, often called latex, paints are applied by a variety of methods including brushing, rolling and spraying. During each of these methods, the coating is subjected to various shear and stress conditions. How the coating behaves under these conditions defines its viscosity, which, in-turn, determines its application properties, Sign up to View |
