Eddyfi Technologies' world headquarters building is a model of contemporary architecture, biophilic design and sustainable materials – from the generous application of locally sourced wood and use of large, triple-glazed windows, to the selection of solvent-free PPG Coraflon coatings to protect and embellish its muted aluminum cladding.
Engineers at the University of Houston are using chitin – a derivative of glucose found in the cellular walls of arthropods and fungi – and 3D printing techniques to produce high-impact multilayered coatings that can protect soldiers against bullets, lasers, toxic gas and other dangers.
Tnemec Co. Inc., a leading manufacturer of high-performance protective coatings, announced the launch of three low-VOC polyurethane coatings: Series 1094, Series 1095 and Series 1096 Endura-Shield.
As hundreds of aircraft remain grounded due to decreased air travel demand amid pandemic restrictions, the question becomes: how can airlines preserve as much value as possible while high-dollar assets sit idle for an indefinite period?
The object of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of different modifications on anti-corrosive performance. Straight PUDs were used to prepare DTM coatings with only small amounts of additives and without the assistance of corrosion inhibitors, passivation fillers or pig-ments.
Garret Haegelin, HICoat Division Superintendent at Sulzer, looks at the features and processes used when applying high-quality coatings and how attention to detail is essential for optimum performance.
LumiShield Technologies has been named a Phase I finalist to compete for $10,000 in funding and promotional considerations at AUSA Global Force Symposium and Exposition, one of the Army's most important annual conferences.
