Spektrochem Paint Technical Center

Spektrochem Paint Technical Center Global expertise in the development of raw materials and formulations of waterborne paints

RESEARCH OF RAW MATERIALS
We are experts in testing raw materials for architectural paints in terms of their workability and efficiency of use in water-based paint formulations. We develop start point formulations taking into account the doses of various raw materials (ladder tests) and test their impact on the properties of paints and coatings. We test the stability, synergy with other raw mater

ials and compatibility in paints of all PVC ranges, taking into account the requirements of the NAFTA, EMEA, Asia-Pacific markets and legal regulations regarding the use of raw materials. We have a library of raw materials from around the world on the basis of which we prepare formulations for testing our clients' raw materials. Thanks to our raw material resources, we can start work very quickly and present research results just as quickly. TESTING SERVICE
The laboratory performs an extensive range of tests of architectural paints and coatings, including weathering and lightfastness, scrubbaility and washability, hardness, adhesion, abrasion, flexibility, hiding power, gloss, color and appearance, viscosity and much more. The laboratory conducts tests in accordance with over 150 international standards. In addition to the test reports, photos are provided showing the test results, which can be used in technical or marketing materials. This independent laboratory is fully qualified to meet your needs:
• Implemented ISO/IEC 17025
• Approved by hundreds of global companies - raw material and paint producers
• Testing performed to ASTM, ISO, DIN, BS, AATCC, SAE and Federal Specifications
• Traceable and precise test results

Part 3. The samples are ready. Now let’s make them talk. 🧪🤠

Drying. Film formation. Scrub. Blocking. Coating defects.

Next stop: Lombard.

See y’all at the CTT Summit.

⛽ FILM FORMING ZONE ⛽

Pull up to the pump.

Today’s fuel isn’t gasoline.

Today’s fuel is coalescing agent.

Every gallon counts.

Fill up with Di(propylene Glycol) n-Butyl Ether…
…or choose Butylglycol, depending on the route your formulation needs to take.

Because in waterborne coatings, the real journey begins after the water leaves.

That’s when coalescents step in—helping latex particles come together, reducing MFFT, improving early film integrity, and giving the coating a chance to become one continuous protective film.

Too little fuel?
The film may never fully form.

Too much?
You might pay for it with VOCs, softness, blocking, dirt pickup or slower property development.

There are no shortcuts on the road to a durable coating.

Only the right formulation.

Welcome to the Film Forming Zone.

31/08/2026

Some problems don’t come from your formulation…
they come from what you think hasn’t changed.

Same inputs on paper.
Different behavior in reality.

That’s where real formulation starts —
not in the recipe, but in understanding interactions.

If you’ve ever chased a viscosity shift that “shouldn’t happen”…
you know exactly what this is.

Somewhere between the formulation and the final data… there’s the LAB HUSTLE. 🤠🧪

Weigh. Mix. Check. Label. Repeat.

Not the glamorous part of coatings science — but this is where tomorrow’s results begin.

A little chemistry. A little h***y tonk.
A whole lotta samples. 🎹

A day in the lab. Part 2 🧪🤠

Yesterday, the paints were made. Today, it’s time to see what happened overnight.

Sagging behavior, wet-film appearance, compatibility issues and viscosity changes — the first clues showing how different coalescents are interacting with the formulation.

Stable samples move forward. Those with a viscosity drop are adjusted back to the initial level and left overnight again.

Next checkpoint: one-week evaluation and drawdowns for performance testing.

And that’s where Part 3 begins. 🔬

All leading to the CTT Summit and a deeper look at coalescents, film formation and early paint performance.

24/08/2026

A day in the lab. 🧪🤠

Today’s job: preparing paint samples for a coalescent comparison — from mill-base and that perfect donut flow to let-down, viscosity check and final drawdowns.

Tomorrow? Testing begins. 🔬

And these samples have a destination: the CTT Summit, where I’ll use them to talk about film formation and the role coalescents play in those critical first hours of a latex paint film.

See you in the lab.

🎹 MFFT… but make it H***y Tonk. 🤠

Film formation is serious business.
But nobody said the lab has to be out of tune.

Open the lid and… welcome to the H***y Tonk MFFT. 🥃🎹

What if film formation isn’t the whole story?
For this year’s CTT Summit, I’m preparing something a little different.

Not just theory.
Not just MFFT.
Not just chemistry.

We’ll connect what really happens after the paint hits the wall—with real laboratory case studies, ASTM testing, and formulation decisions that change coating performance.

You can’t speed up the weather.
But you can speed up the questions ☀️🌧️

Accelerated weathering helps us see how coatings respond to repeated exposure to UV, moisture, and condensation — long before the real world has time to tell the story.

Because with an exterior coating, the question isn’t only:

“How does it look today?”

It’s also:

“How will it hold up out there?”

That’s what we put to the test.
