Benefits of Using WinBLEND

• Keep track of the full development cycle through maintenance of full formulation development history.

• Minimize errors through accurate calculation of many regularly used coatings parameters.

• Save money through fast optimization of formulation ingredients.

• Avoid unnecessary and costly technical service calls by visually displaying solvent evaporation profile during the drying process and identifying potential binder precipitation issues.

• Save development time with the ability to apply changes to a formulation and immediately view the effects on factors such as PVC, NVV and cost.
