One of the most popular high-solids, low-VOC coatings is an epoxy coating. Epoxy coatings are resistant to most chemicals and corrosives, exhibit great adhesion, and have very low porosity. And they're extremely environmentally friendly; because they contain no solvents, they emit virtually no VOCs.
As part of an historic renovation, PPG partnered with Spectrum Metal Finishing to develop and apply a customized powder coating for the historic Philadelphia Bulletin Building's new signature feature, a multistory glass façade on the east elevation.
Conversion coatings imbue metals with special properties. These treatments are generally straightforward and open up a plethora of new applications. However, because of the chemical nature of the process, there are caveats to conversion coating that are important to understand.
Some paint strippers are hazardous, but knowing where to start makes things much easier. Here are the most common types of paint strippers and the best safe paint stripping techniques for different surfaces.
Demand for coatings has not faltered during the pandemic. As a result, the industry remains slow in embracing digitization at scale. At the same time, new computational technologies promise to unlock the value of innovation toward higher performance coatings and streamlined processes.
An extremely thin, hard, diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating decreases the Coefficient of Friction (COF) of components to nearly zero, while increasing wear resistance.
The increased application of high-temperature coatings in the aerospace sector helps the specialty coatings market gain impressive traction and growth. This article offers some reasons why that's the case.
