Don’t Accept a Raw Deal: Get the Analyses for Traditional and Novel Raw Material Resins by LC

Introduction

This mini webinar was part of a wider Coatings World webinar, where we presented in-depth analysis of raw materials such as acrylates by liquid chromatography (LC) as well as a look forward to the shift to alkyd resins. Acrylate analysis is presented as a purity precursor to ensure the quality of final coatings products with excellent reproducibility with LOW % RSDs for retention time and peak area. However, with a strained supply of acrylates and other resin precursors, many manufacturers are diversifying their resin products by transitioning to alkyd-based resins, which is also discussed.
