PRE-CONGRESS TUTORIAL IV

SURFACTANTS IN WATERBORNE
FORMULATIONS
Lecturer: Samuel P. Morell, S.P. Morell and
Company, US
A major challenge within the coatings and ink indus-
tries is to develop waterborne systems that replace
conventional solventborne ones, complying with
increasingly restrictive governmental regulations
on volatile organic compounds. However, the tech-
nological switch from solventborne to waterborne
technologies is not an easy one. Challenges may
concern application, performance or formulation
characteristics and often have to do with the con-
trol of surface and interface properties. Examples
are wetting of low energy surfaces, foaming, water
sensitivity, rheology, flow and leveling. To optimise
these properties, the control of surface tensions and
surface energies is of major importance. This is the
domain of surfactants.
Our 90 minute tutorial will review the chemistry,
theory and application of surfactants in a wide range
of waterborne applications. Specific questions that
will be addressed include:
 What are typical chemical structures and prop-
erties of both nonionic and ionic surfactants?
 How do surfactants function with respect to
surface tension reduction, macro- and micro-
foam reduction and control, wetting of low
energy substrates, e.g. plastics, pigment
dispersion and stabilisation, improvement of
water resistance?
 How do surfactants affect rheological
behaviour?
 What are the VOC implications of surfactant
use?
Samuel P. Morell is a Chemical Engineering graduate
of New York University and founder and president
of S.P. Morell and Company. His work experience
includes both technical and marketing positions
at Ciba Specialty Chemicals, Rohm and Haas, BASF
and Air Products and Chemicals. Sam Morell is a
recognised authority on surfactants and has been
instrumental in promulgating the use of specialty
surfactants to a wide array of industries including
coatings, inks, adhesives and lubricants. He has
authored numerous technical articles on the subject
in various publications.

KEYNOTE PRESENTATION
Ultrafast Synthesis of Ultrahigh Molar Mass
Polymers by SET-LRP of Acrylates, Methacr-
ylates and Vinyl Halides at Room Temperature
Virgil Percec, University of Pennsylvania, US
Controlled, or living radical polymerisation (LRP)
methods have fascinated the community of polymer
chemists for a number of years, because these tech-
niques provide a previously unthinkable control over
the molecular structure of large macromolecules,
and effectively allow the design of novel copoly-
mer architectures from scratch. Of course, this is a
highly exciting vision for industrial chemists as well,
especially in the coatings industry: Just imagine
being able to build almost monodisperse poly-
meric binders or additives, with just the molecular
structure and size that you wish it to have. However,
very few products of such techniques have made
it to industrial products – in the coatings world,
dispersing additives so far are the only examples.
This has probably been due to a drawback of LRP
methods, including atom-transfer radical polym-
erisation (ATRP): These methods usually require
high amounts of expensive metal catalysts, usually
Cu(I)X species and N-containing ligands, which are
difficult to remove from the products and make the
syntheses expensive. Also, the processes tend to
be very slow.
Very recently, however, Virgil Percec and his co-
workers at the University of Pennsylvania found
a way to overcome these drawbacks, when they
discovered that polar solvents can be used to dis-
proportionate the Cu(I) moieties, forming nascent
and extremely reactive atomic Cu(0) and Cu(II)
species. These facilitate an ultrafast living radi-
cal polymerisation, proceeding by what Percec has
termed a low activation energy heterolytic outer-
sphere single-electron-transfer (SET) mechanism.
The resulting SET-LRP process requires only a cata-
lytic amount of the copper species and provides, at
room temperature and below, an ultrafast synthesis
of ultrahigh molecular weight polymers from func-
tional monomers, such as acrylates, methacrylates,
and vinyl halides, initiated with alkyl, sulfonyl and
N-halides.
Can this technique pave the way for large-scale
industrial applications of controlled radical polym-
erisation products, then? Is this the breakthrough
that will lead to a completely new generation of
coating binder systems? In his keynote lecture at
the plenary session of the Nürnberg Congress, Virgil
Percec will explain the scope and the limitations of
the SET-LRP technique in comparison with ATRP, and
examine its industrial application potential.
Virgil Percec was born in Romania
and received his Ph D in Macro-
molecular Chemistry at the Poly-
technic Institute of Iasi, Romania
in 1976. From 1976 until 1981 he
worked as a Research Associate,
Senior Research Associate and Associate Professor
at the same institution. As a postdoctoral Research
Associate he worked at the Universities of Freiburg
(Germany) and Akron (US). In 1982, he started as
an Assistant Professor at the Case Western Reserve
University in Cleveland, where he became Professor
of Macromolecular Science as well as an American
citizen in 1986. From 1993, he held the Leonard Case
Jr. Chair of Macromolecular Science and Engineering
at that institution. Since 1999, he is Roy and Diana
Vagelos Professor of Chemistry at the University
of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia (USA). Professor
Percec has been visiting professor at a member of
universities, societies and Institutes including the
Royal Australian Chemical Institute, the University
of Freiburg, the Royal Society of Chemistry, The Royal
Institute of Technology, Stockholm and the Max Plank
Institute for Polymers in Mainz.
He published over 575 refereed publications and
35 US and European Patents, edited ten books and
is currently ranked no 215 among the most cited
chemist in the world. He is Editor of the Journal
of Polymer Science and is or has been Member of
the Editorial Boards of a variety of other scientific
polymer journals.
In 1997, Virgil Percec was the recipient of the Humbold
Research Award for Senior U.S. Scientists. Two times
(1990 & 1995) he won the NSF Research Award for
Exceptional Creativity in Research and in 2004 he
received the ACS Award in Polymer Chemistry. He
also won faculty awards of 18 international compa-
nies, including Amoco, Asahi Chemical Co., Bayer,
BASF, DuPont, Hoechst and PPG. In 2005, he won

NANOTECHNOLOGY
Chairman: Gulsen Celiker, Yasar Paint and
Chemicals Group, TR
Nanotechnology, still the biggest buzz word in coatings
development, has now come of age. The uncontrolled
hype is over, and it is now time for coatings based
on nanomaterials to pass the severe tests that are
demanded in the industrial practice. But many nano-
coatings, predominantly based on inorganic nanopar-
ticles such as All2O3, SiO2, TiO2, ZnO, ZrO2, or on hybrid
binders consisting of inorganic/organic nanostructures,
are quite advanced in this respect and often provide
high functionality and/or extremely high performance
characteristics. This session will provide an overview
of the state-of-the-art.

POWDER COATINGS
Chairman: Douglas S. Cinoman, Rohm and Haas
Powder Coatings, US
Powder coatings currently experience difficult and
very competitive market conditions, which have led
the industry to focus on products that achieve just the
right level of performances at the lowest possible cost
in use. Process optimisation and the careful selection
and use of raw materials are called for. Reacting to
this situation, however, important innovations are
being put forward that concern, for instance, novel
binders for high-performing thin layer (< 40µm) coat-
ings, improved pigment dispersion technology for
optimised appearance, new polyesters for fast coil
coating lines, low-bake powders for MDF and plastics
substrates, and the combination of high reactivity
with high storage stability.

PARALLEL SESSION V
MEASUREMENT & TESTING
Chairman: Dr. Chris Lowe,
Becker Industrial Coatings Ltd., GB
Testing and analysis methods very often give reason
for debate: the usual dilemma is that most simple,
easy-to-carry-out tests do not permit drawing scien-
tifically sound conclusions about the actual chemistry
and physics that govern the coatings performance. In
other words, they allow comparisons but often do not
provide insights on why one coating performs better
than another. High-tech analysis tools, on the other
hand, may provide such insights, but cannot be used
routinely in industry because of their costs. Another
dilemma is the difficulty of comparing different test
methods for the same property, e.g. scratch resistance,
or weathering performance. This is the background
of this session, which will discuss a number of new
methodologies to test and evaluate coatings or raw
materials performance.

PARALLEL SESSION VI
PRINTING INKS 1
Chairman: Dr. Erich Frank, Flint Group, DE;
Dr. Dirk Meine, Vincentz Network, DE
The two sessions VI and IX with altogether 11 papers
address the current situation and recent raw material
innovations concerning the entire range of printing
inks. Session VI concerns “classical” printing tech-
niques (offset and liquid inks). This is kicked off with
a rather political topic – the situation of printing inks
for food applications, which has been severely under
debate recently. Turning to raw material innovations,

ADHESIVES & SEALANTS 1
Chairman: Dr. Michael Gerstenberger,
ChemInvest GmbH, DE
In almost all their applications, adhesives still enjoy
a stable, above-average growth, be it for pressure
sensitive, structural, hot melt, reactive, or UV curing
types. Certainly, this is also due to the constant inno-
vations in adhesives raw materials. The 12 papers of
session VII and XIII report on most recent progress
in this field. Starting with an analysis of the current
market situation, session VII addresses innovations
in epoxy systems, the use of nanoparticles in adhe-

WOOD COATINGS
Chairman: Bent Samuelsen, Dyrup, DK
Wood represents a class of substrates of its own, with
highly special challenges and market conditions. Long-
term outdoor performance, light stability, high transpar-
ency with ideal accentuation of the wood grain, as well
as very good mechanical and chemical resistances are
the major topics that govern this field. Exploiting their
optical transparency, nanoparticles play a major role

Base formulations for specific applications are rela-
tively easy to achieve, but the devil is in the detail –
after all, formulation know-how is all about the
fine adjustment of the coatings ingredients and
their addition, to match all requirements perfectly.
Most often, it is the use of additives that makes a
difference. This session discusses recent progress
in that field, presenting novelties in the fields of
sagging resistance, rheology control, surfactants
and, not least, the use of biocides to prevent micro-
bial deterioration of the coatings in-can or in the

XVIII – XXI
PARALLEL SESSION XVIII
PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY 1
Chairman: Dr. Olaf Eichstädt, Bühler AG, DE
Making coatings better is not only a matter of raw
material innovations – in a time of tight margins
and stiff competition, a constant control and opti-
misation of the production process is of paramount
importance. And process innovations involve high
investment cost, making decisions far-reaching
and difficult.
Session XVIII is dedicated to strategic, general
issues, such as:
 the batch-to-batch consistency of raw
materials
 Six Sigma methods, principal component
analysis and integrated software solutions for
more effective production process control
 semi continuous or fully continuous operation
vs. batch-wise production

PROCESS DEVELOPMENT
Chairman: Dr. Michael Osterhold,
DuPont Performance Coatings, DE
Coatings development is not only driven by raw
material innovations, but also by improvements in
the processes that lead to new coatings formulations.
For instance, as this session will show, automated
high-throughput experimentation meanwhile has
important implications on how coatings formula-
tions can be developed and tested substantially
faster than via conventional “manual” methods.
Colour communication is another issue where
automation can cause higher efficiency across the
value chain. Other examples presented in this ses-
sion concern innovations in the build-up and the
interactions of complex coatings systems, such as
automotive refinish systems or nanostructured mul-
tifunctional coatings.

VOC 2010
Chairman: David Sykes,
Paint Research Association, GB
With the first step of the European VOC regulation for
decorative paints implemented, and the second apply-
ing in 2010, the architectural paint industry experiences
must meet the demand for increasingly high perform-
ance waterborne systems. Reacting to this task, the
innovations presented here mainly concern binder
technology, such as acrylic, polyesteramide or water-
borne alkyds which possess controlled and defined
architectures, providing higher flexibility at higher
blocking resistance, improved application properties,
good penetration into the surface or good drying char-
acteristics under adverse conditions. Not least, tinting
systems and colourants equally have to face the low
VOC challenge.

PARALLEL SESSION XXI

PURCHASING
Chairman: Kirsten Friedrichs,
Vincentz Network, DE
Raw material costs of course always are a major factor
in economical decision making, and “purchasing is
a profit making job”. There is, however, much more
to procurement than pricing issues only. Specifically
addressing experts in the procurement of coatings
raw materials, the topics covered in this session
tackle questions such as: How do the challenges and
opportunities balance in purchasing from emerging
market suppliers? What are possible strategies to
ensure constant supply for difficult raw materials?
How are prices for coatings raw materials developing,
and which products give reasons for concern? Spe-
cifically, how can the TiO2 supply/demand balance
be analysed?

PARALLEL SESSION XXV

PIGMENTS & FILLERS
Chairman: Dr. Gerhard Pfaff, Merck KGaA, DE
Functionality and processability are the major key-
words that govern the development of modern pig-
ment systems. Innovations are not so much concerned
with new colours but new effects. Thus, a focus of
this session is placed on the possibilities to use
pigments to reduce the heating of surfaces (and of
the coated objects) under sunlight. Cool roofs are a
buzzword in this respect: NIR reflecting pigments
allow coated roofs to keep relatively cool, effectively
reducing the energy required for air-conditioning in
the interior. Another topic addressed in this session
covers the true understanding and modelling of the
effects of interference pigments. And, not least, novel
easy-to-disperse pigments promise to drastically
reduce the efforts needed to incorporate pigments
into coatings formulations. Similarly, functional fillers
such as silica dispersions have to fulfil requirements
for easy incorporation.
