A research team at the University of Nevada, Reno, has developed a new environmentally friendly coating for aluminum to replace the carcinogenic chromate coatings used in aerospace applications.
Acrolon Ultra is a high-gloss, solvent-based acrylic polyurethane providing long-term UV protection for high-profile structures where high durability is required.
NANOMYTE® TC‐3001is a new flexible coating specifically designed to protect oxidizing steel and aluminum exposed to corrosive chemicals or harsh environmental conditions.
First, it was adhesion to multiple substrates, then the requests were for better dirt pick-up resistance. Now, contractors are asking for – and receiving – an elastomeric roof coating that has the potential to resist hard rain much faster than previous technologies enabled.
This article reports on the performance results of acrylated monomers and oligomers when subjected to typical end-use tests designed to measure the flexibility and adhesion characteristics of coatings.
In searching for better flame retardants for home furnishings – a large source of fuel in house fires – National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) researchers defied the conventional wisdom and literally hit a wall, one made of clay.
