Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings are characterized by their high wear, abrasion, and corrosion resistance. This article discusses DLC coatings types, mechanical properties, coefficient of friction, surface properties, electrical properties, corrosion resistance properties, and uses.
The challenge for the resort’s designers and architects was to find a powder coating that could protect aluminum surfaces and girders in a climate of extreme heat and corrosive salt spray from the coast, and with a finish that would complement the warm terracotta tones of Dubai’s landscape. Read about the solution.
On the coast, painted walls tend to fade faster, are pummeled with wind-driven rain, are exposed to salt around the clock, and are breeding grounds for bio-growth like algae and fungus. One seven-story Destin, Florida, resort nestled between Choctawhatchee Bay and the Gulf of Mexico was looking for a fresh update but wanted more longevity for its money.
Sustainability dominated every conversation at the 2023 European Coatings Show. Learn about some of the innovative technologies that were introduced to help the industry formulate, manufacture, and apply the coatings of tomorrow.
Fact.MR, a market research firm, reported that the global coating additives market is estimated to surpass US$ 9.3 billion in 2023. Increasing utilization of innovative coating additives in construction paints to improve the surface effectiveness, as well as viscosity of substrates, is one of the prominent factors propelling sales.
As manufacturing becomes more automated or dependent on robotic technologies, people have become more interested in how this progress could improve paint preparation. Options in high-tech mixing and paint-filling equipment are explored in this article.
A Resuflor™ topcoat system has been used to ensure a reliable and robust floor surface for the L-159E aircraft that are being used to conduct combat training.
The coating has several features that lengthen the life of a roof, including its superior resistance to fading from ultraviolet radiation and minimizing the absorption of solar energy.
This exclusive covers a contract coating company's search for a sustainable powder coating solution that can also be applied to sensitive substrates —
materials that are traditionally liquid coated.
