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.

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.
