Achieving a balance of desired paint performance characteristics can be challenging, resource-intensive, and time-consuming to paint manufacturers. The Dow Chemical Company has developed high throughput methodologies to facilitate the quick screening of large libraries of coatings samples, shortening the innovation timeline for new technologies and increasing the compositional breadth for formulating products to address market needs. Here we address the development and advantages of recent high throughput methods and their use toward achieving designated performance targets and understanding market landscapes. Specific examples include methods that address MPI specifications and case studies that highlight benefits of high throughput over traditional laboratory approaches.
