NACE International has appointed Chris Fowler, Global Corrosion Director of testing company Exova, to be the European Coordinator and UK Executor of its multinational IMPACT study into corrosion costs and preventative strategies.
The cold and inclement forecast of winter brings with it a hardship for many owners, engineers and architects, among others. This is the time of year that is responsible for most of the corrosion issues that occur due to inadequate paint jobs. However, this does not mean that one should put off a necessary new coating, but it just makes the preparation and research that much more vital.
Researchers from the Institute for Color Science and Technology (ICST) in Iran are working to improve the quality of anti-corrosive coatings by using modified nanoparticles.
Available in both 600- and 1100-liter sizes, Q-FOG® CRH corrosion testers can perform traditional salt spray and Prohesion, and meet most major international and automotive corrosion test standards.
Polyaspartic coatings a one cost-saving solution – offering both increased productivity and reduced labor costs in tough corrosion protection applications.
A one-step photoinduced sol-gel and free-radical photopolymerization process was proven to be an efficient process to synthesize hybrid sol-gel coatings with interesting properties, in particular high corrosion protection performance.
In a new study, GCiS China Strategic Research estimates that the domestic market for anticorrosion coatings in China was worth over RMB 36 billion in 2013, with sales of roughly 1.4 million tons.
A thin layer of graphene paint can make impermeable and chemically resistant coatings that could be used for food packaging and corrosion protection, according to new findings from researchers at The University of Manchester in England.
The PPG Industries Foundation has donated $10,000 to create two annual scholarships provided through the NACE International Foundation, a 501(c)(3) entity affiliated with NACE International, The Corrosion Society.
Additives belong to a broad and diffuse category of key components in a coating formulation. The following is a brief description of many coating additives, along with some examples.
