VCI transportation coatings have several advantages for protecting metal parts during shipment and storage. They are more powerful than ordinary coatings, tend to be environmentally friendly and low in VOCs, and are fairly easy to remove.
PPG and Mill Steel have announced that Mill Steel will stock, market and sell DURASTAR® ULTRA-COOL® silicone-modified polyester (SMP) coatings by PPG to building product manufacturers.
The finish of Valspar’s Valflon Prismatic Blue on the metal panels evokes a molecular crystalline lattice as it might appear under a powerful microscope.
This study has shown that low-VOC waterborne fluorourethane paints can be formulated that are equal to the performance of solventborne fluorourethane paints when used on metal.
PPG’s industrial coatings business has published three data sheets documenting PPG coating systems recognized under the Component Recognition Program of Underwriters Laboratories (UL) for the UL 1332 Standard for Organic Coatings for Steel Enclosures for Outdoor Use Electrical Equipment (DTOV2).
SPECTRACRON® 380 POLY-IOTHANE® HS (High-Solids) Series coatings are two-component polyester polyurethane enamel coatings that provide excellent corrosion resistance when applied directly to metal or over primer-coated metal surfaces.
This work has established a place for some novel new polyols with high recycle content combined with high performance for specialty coating applications, where protection of metal surfaces is of prime importance.
