PRODUCTS AND RESEARCH
42 Chemical resistance of coatings — Goriainova I. А., Belousova M. A., Kopylov D. V., Ivanenko A. A., Laskin D. V., Bakhtin A. S.
Abstract. The article discusses the results of a study of the resistance of various chemical coatings to aggressive environments. It has been shown that polyurethane (PU) textured coatings have the greatest chemical resistance compared to standard polyester (PE) smooth coatings.
Keywords: paint and varnish coatings, chemical resistance, aggressive environment, corrosion process, decorative properties, protective properties.

51 Raw materials for UV, LED and EB curable paints and varnishes used for painting metal surfaces.Part 2: Resins. The world's largest manufacturers (continuation) — Doctor of Tech. Sci. Nistratov Andrian, Hua Chun, Pengfei Yang, Nistratova Olga
Abstract. Continuation of the summary overview of the range of resins with their characteristics available from manufacturers IGM RESINS, Jiangxi Kun-Long New Materials Co., Eternal Materials and BASF on the international market, potentially suitable for the manufacture of UV, LED and EB paint and varnish materials for painting rolled and sheet metals, metal products, is presented.
Keywords: paint and varnish materials, polymer coatings, resins, metal surfaces.

63 Optimization of the physico-mechanical and anti-adhesive properties of pigmented coatings based on a non-fluorinated binder — Glazkova M. A., Candidate of Tech. Sci., Associate Professor Fedyakova N. V., Candidate of Chem. Sci., Associate Professor Nesterova A. G., Candidate of Chem. Sci., Associate Professor Chapala P. P.
Abstract. The paper investigates the influence of MT-GSHM microtalc, introduced as a modifying monocomponent solvent-borne paste, on the complex of physico-mechanical and anti-adhesive properties of a pigmented coating based on a non-fluorinated binder intended for anti-graffiti functions. The optimal ratio of components has been established, ensuring effective removal of graffiti without surface damage or the "ghosting" effect, while maintaining high mechanical strength characteristics.
Keywords: anti-graffiti coatings, graffiti, microtalc, ghosting effect, surface roughness.
