I have a technical question to ask. I hope you have the answer. I read some non-technical articles mentioning powder coatings used on wood. How is this possible when wood is a non-magnetic material?
The new light-grey primer provides stable surface resistivity, strongly improving the adhesion between primer and base/clear coat on TPO car parts. A colloidal suspension of powder in water can be sprayed with standard liquid equipment devices while performing like a powder coating.
Formulated with a blend of resins and ceramic spheres, the elastomeric-acrylic coating was specifically developed as a primer coat for wood siding. SPC also offers protection on many other substrates including concrete, brick, masonry and stucco. In addition, SPC offers energy-saving insulation properties and soundproofing.
Today, many coatings producers are increasingly focusing their production towards water-based coatings and are moving away from solvent-based formulations. This is to reduce the VOC content of their formulations, not only to make it friendlier for the end-user, but also to improve the sustainability impact on the environment by reducing their CO2 footprint.
Spherical silica EXP 0002-1 is characterized by a particularly small particle size, and is suitable for architectural paints, as well as waterborne, deep-matte, and silk-gloss wood coatings. The silica helps extend the durability of a coating by improving its scratch and abrasion resistance. At the same time, the silica provides a matte or silk-gloss appearance to meet customers' aesthetic requirements.
The project was constructed in accordance with the BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) Excellent environmental rating, which looks at the ecology of buildings, including a requirement for very low VOC emissions in surface treatment products.
Specially designed for radiation-cured wood coatings, the new deaerator, TEGO® Airex 923, is a highly compatible, 100%-active organic polymer that shows improved efficiency.
A leading paint company discusses how they identify color trends and translate them into relevant color palettes and products that meet customers’ needs.
Like many other industries, the wood coatings market was severely impacted by the onslaught of the pandemic in 2020. However, taking the lead from the strong consumer home improvement trend, the industry began to develop a resilience to an ongoing challenging climate and is expected to grow.
