Finishing '99

October 4, 2000

Over 4,500 people attended the Finishing ’99 conference in Cleveland, which was sponsored by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) and the Association for Finishing Processes of SME.

The instructional conferences included tutorials on powder, liquid, electrocoat coatings and finishing plastics, as well as advanced topics of cost analysis, controls, appearance testing, surface preparation, and environmental and compliant systems. The conference proceedings were worth the attendance at the conferences.

In this webinar, we will demonstrate how silane and silicone technologies can modify polyaspartic chemistries to increase performance characteristics of traditional metal coating finishes. In particular, we will highlight technical capabilities of glycolic silane technology that can enable coating system formulations to be virtually free of latent alcohol or other VOC emissions.

This webinar will discuss the different chemistries of fluorosurfactants and other additives and how this affects their performance in coatings. Fluorosurfactants are multifunctional and direct one-for-one replacement is rarely possible, but careful selection of additive combinations can achieve comparable performance in different coatings formulations.
