Ask the Expert Tracy Wickmann Epoxy Additives Applications Chemist I NDUSTRY NEWS Q A How can I make a fast-dry epoxy coating with low emissions? The Kansas City Society is issuing a call for papers on a variety of topics under the general heading of biotechnology and sustainability for coatings (waterborne, high solids, powder and UV cure) formulating, processing, and manufacturing. Submit abstracts to Jim Steffensmeier by March 1, 2009. Completed papers are not required. For more information on the symposium, contact Jim Steffensmeier at jds1@walsh-assoc.com or visit www.kcsct.org. Ancarez AR555 resin was developed with that challenge in mind. It is the only zero-VOC solid epoxy resin dispersion in the marketplace to offer both excellent coalescing and fast-dry properties. The fast-dry performance allows for improved sandability and stackability for increased throughput and greater productivity. Its enhanced coalescing eliminates the need for solvents, enabling lowodor, zero-VOC formulations. Add to that excellent anticorrosive properties plus long shelf life, and you have an ideal resin for ﬂoor, institutional and OEM coating applications—a perfect replacement for solid resin dispersions that struggle to meet VOC regulations.

Inc. is offering a paper that makes selection and use of sieves more clear. Sieving in its most elemental definition is the separation of fine material from coarse material by means of a meshed or perforated surface. The technique was used as far back as the early Egyptian days as a way to size grains. In order to understand sieving today, it is essential to examine the definition of a test sieve, limitations of the test sieve procedure, test sieve standards, sieve certifications and sieve calibration. Although the technique has been around since antiquity, confusion surrounds the specification of standards, certification and calibration. CSC Scientific Co. Inc. is offering a paper that will help most specifiers get the best balance of precision and operational economy by understanding the vagaries of certification types and the performance that can be expected. A copy of the paper is available free of charge at www.cscscientific.com.
