Can UV/EB technology serve as a sustainable solution to the energy crisis? This article examines the factors driving UV/EB technology, supported by case studies demonstrating how it enables innovative manufacturing processes that consume less energy, yet also meet or exceeds air quality standards without requiring add-on pollution controls.
During an awards reception to be held June 26, George Pilcher, Vice President, and David Cocuzzi, Vice President, will be honored by ASTM D01 Committee on Paint and Related Coatings, Materials, and Applications.
PTFE is a substance used in all types of coatings to modify total mechanical performance and improve values for scratch resistance and abrasion resistance, while simultaneously lowering surface friction. However, PTFE is a well-known representative of PFAS, which is under increasing global regulation. PTFE-free wax additives are now available, and provide comparable performance with a focus on improving abrasion and scratch resistance.
