Singulus Technologies has developed a new layer system with titanium for sustainable coatings with the DECOLINE II production line. The innovative coating process reduces the necessary production steps and is, therefore, significantly more economical.
A line of powder coatings from Sherwin-Williams are now formulated with trailblazing polyester resins comprised of 25 percent post-consumer recycled plastic (rPET).
Manufacturers of paints and coatings can now reduce their carbon footprint, every day, by using a liquid product recovery (often called 'pigging') technology, according to a new report from independent sustainability and energy consultancy Carbon-Zero.
Internal combustion engines (ICEs) are falling out of fashion to make way for battery electric vehicles (BEVs). Many components, including battery packs and power conversion parts, should have coatings to increase the car’s longevity, and to help with the issues BEV batteries bring. Creative solutions are coming out of the industry to help maintain BEVs for longer.
HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams recently unveiled its 2023 Color Collection of the Year and the distinguished 2023 Color of the Year. The designer-inspired Vintage Homestead Color Collection of the Year includes 10 reviving and comfortable colors that are influenced by heritage and romance, crafting a look that is familiar in an individualistic way.
Part of the largest capital project in Washington University’s (WashU’s) 125-year history, James M. McKelvey, Sr. Hall completes the final stage for the East End transformation of Danforth Campus in St. Louis, Missouri. Sustainability and occupant well-being were essential objectives for the university.
Ecurie Bertelli, the pre-war Aston Martin specialist, and HMG Paints, a United Kingdom-based independent paint manufacturer, have combined their market leading knowledge for a one-of-a-kind project conserving a 1934 Aston Martin MKII. The team at HMG Paints developed a special stabilizing and sealing solution that allowed the team to seal the worn paintwork and prevent further degradation.
A mechanical engineering company that produces hydraulic cylinders recently automated parts of its coatings process. Up until now, surface coating of the cylinders, crucial for robust corrosion protection, was done manually. The company invested approximately 4 million euros in the construction of a new production hall, including an innovative liquid coating system with application, dosing and mixing technology.
Unplanned downtime causes significant losses to a company. With an estimated price tag of $50 billion annually, there is a serious effort that, rightfully, goes into preventing unscheduled failures. Digital transformation can open the gates to unprecedented reductions in unplanned downtime.
The payoffs could be substantial if you’re thinking about designing a robotic paint booth for use in the automotive manufacturing sector. Adding robots into the workflow could lead to greater efficiency, better overall quality, and more. This technology can also increase a facility’s scalability, which is good news if an automaker struggles with frequent demand fluctuations.
