Although it might seem inconvenient to update coatings systems that have not yet failed, now may be an ideal time for manufacturers to reassess their protective technologies and consider newer, more effective solutions in this strained energy sector.
The National Center for Manufacturing Sciences announced the publication of a new technology brief focused on a new corrosion risk assessment tool to help combat the high cost of corrosion.
Leveraging his extensive experience and expertise as a Senior Project Manager at Tnemec, Glenn Hauser will engage and empower students with advanced knowledge in corrosion prevention and protective coatings application.
In the transition from internal combustion engine to battery-powered electric vehicles, many components needed for automotive assembly have changed. Embracing the exceptional qualities of zinc-nickel finishes takes on even greater significance as we serve the transformation underway in the requirements of automotive fasteners within the realm of BEVs.
The “CUI Mitigation to Elimination” seminar covered best practices for addressing corrosion under insulation, passive fire protection, and thermal insulation with coatings technologies.
Published reports place the total cost of corrosion in the United States at $552 billion. The majority of the current coating formulations are not designed for extended maintenance support. This article introduces the concept of Lifetime Coating Systems (LCS), a program designed to match coating life with asset life.
The primer powder portfolio is designed to provide high corrosion resistance for metal substrates including steel, hot-dip-galvanized steel, metalized steel, and aluminum.
Measuring the effectiveness of corrosion coatings is achievable. These coatings protect the substrate from stains and scratches and make them easier to clean, but how is that measured, and against what benchmark?
The company says this development will improve service and support to customers in Southeast Asia, due to a direct connection with Cortec’s headquarters in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Since January 2019, CSEA has been a partner and distribution hub for Cortec products and services in Southeast Asia, serving the markets of Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Brunei, and Indonesia.
