Abstract

The colloidal capability team at PPG focuses on understanding how colloidal properties such as particle size and particle-particle interactions drive the stability and performance of paint formulations. The colloidal system emphasized in this talk is pigments, which are ubiquitous in the coatings industry and play a crucial role by providing properties such as color, opacity, protection, and durability. Furthermore, pigment stability against sedimentation and aggregation is essential to ensure that these properties remain consistent over time, even when exposed to changing environmental conditions. In this talk, we will present techniques that efficiently assess the stability of pigments and fundamental properties that drive it.
