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.
In an industrial technical coatings environment, continuous-loop and start-stop paint lines have proven to be highly beneficial in terms of efficiency and productivity, and when combined with the expertise of a third-party technical coatings provider, manufacturers can optimize their production processes and improve the quality of their finished products.
Laser systems remove corrosion, grease, residue, and existing coatings from metal surfaces quickly, with less preparation and mess than traditional techniques.
One of the key components of the hydropower industry is the use of epoxy coatings, which are used to protect the machinery and infrastructure used in hydropower operations. In this article, the role that epoxy coatings play in the hydropower industry and the benefits they provide are explored.
The primer powder portfolio is designed to provide high corrosion resistance for metal substrates including steel, hot-dip-galvanized steel, metalized steel, and aluminum.
In the last several years, sustainability has rocketed to the top of the list of innovation drivers for coatings manufacturers, and their chemical and ingredient distributors, which has, in turn, opened many new avenues for growth.
