In other cases, however, specialty additives must be employed to achieve precise control of viscosity.
One problem with specialty additives is that they often have a surfactant nature and consequently stabilize foam in the liquid coating.
The rest of the materials present in coatings are used in weight or volume percentages of 1 percent or less and are therefore known as specialty additives.
Future process developments include the 'Magnetic Hook' concept and still more recently, the patented 'triangular process' and use of 'Magnetic Hooks' to retain high cost specialty additives.
The latest chemicals acquisition would give Ashland, whose products include Valvoline motor oil, an improved presence in the water-treatment arena, primarily servicing the pulp and paper industry, and would create three new businesses: specialty additives and ingredients; paper and water technologies; and specialty resins.
The approaches to non-passive transport include, but may not be limited to, electrophoresis, electroporesis, needle array systems, facilitated transport in the presence of specialty additives or complexing agents, high pressure microjet transport, and transport across compromised or abraded skin.
In the nearly 20 years since the city acquired 128 acres of farmland for the industrial park, 11 companies have located there, including Johnson Polymer, which makes specialty polymers and additives for the printing, packaging, paint, coatings and plastics markets.
