Automotive coatings experts reflected on 50 years of innovation while outlining future challenges in curing, corrosion, sustainability and AI-driven R&D.
Powder coatings and liquid paints work together across applications, balancing durability, appearance and processing constraints in hybrid finishing systems.
Sherwin-Williams and Dorsey Trailer announced a collaboration focused on boosting finishing throughput, color flexibility and corrosion performance at Dorsey’s Elba, Alabama facility.
Perfectly integrated into an already-existing building containing an overhead crane, the new preservation line allows not only a higher material throughput, but also improves the entire production flow, resulting in shorter lead times.
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.
