copper rod and copper sulphate solution. A porous plug on
one end allows contact with the copper sulphate electrolyte.

IDEAL PAINT ADDITIVES AT A CLICK
Clariant, a global provider of additives for paints
and coatings, has launched its new digital platform
ClariCoat, a results-focused web application for
additives. ClariCoat's offering allows customized
property selection covering a wide range of
performance criteria from liquid paint stability and
workability to sustainability.
Once the criteria selection is complete, the product
recommendation engine proposes the most suitable
additives covering the needs of the paint formulator.
With increasing consumer preferences for sustainable
formulations, and ever more stringent government
regulations for products that, for example, eliminate or
reduce VOCs, this new tool addresses a growing need
in the industry.
The increasing shift towards water-based paint
systems is also fueling the demand for paint and
coating additives. For quick fixes, ClariCoat has
captured the most frequent paint formulator issues,
such as phase separation or compatibility, providing a
list of additives that solve these issues in just one click.
" We believe that by combining our digitalized
formulation data, competence in data science and detailed
technical knowledge and formulation expertise, we can tackle
every challenge our customers might face, " said Hermann
Bach, Clariant's head of strategic marketing and innovation
care chemicals.
