Regulatory and cost pressures mean that organizations are embracing new processes to increase throughput and improve efficiency without compromising the quality of their finished product. This article explores how a new plating method could be the key to delivering improved repeatability, faster throughput and reduced scrappage for non-line-of-sight plating applications.

This overview highlights some of the most common advantages that automation can bring to painting and coating professionals. Tracking metrics before and after implementing such technology makes it easier to see how things change over time.

When John Pistorino set out to create the "Sandcastle," a Hurricane-resistant demonstration building in Islamorada, Florida, he knew it would need to withstand the high winds and storm surges of the hurricanes that plague the Florida Keys.

New conductive gelcoats with graphene nanotubes as a protecting layer on top of fiber-reinforced plastics (FRPs) grant engineers and designers the ability to produce special surfaces and uniformly coat all final parts regardless of their conductive and non-conductive nature.

When thinking of corrosion protection in the auto industry, it is easy to focus on rust prevention for vehicles and auto parts themselves. But it can be just as important to protect the tooling and dies used to make the auto components.

People often choose powder coating for its durability, but that doesn't mean it remains resilient against all types of weather. Here are some crucial considerations about the weather and its potential impact on the powder-coated finish.

When Bristol Motor Speedway needed a paint to stand the test of time, weather and excited race fans, it turned to a paint formulated with Eastman Tetrashield™ protective resin systems.

Responding to the surging consumer trend for healthier homes and spaces, ECOS Paints, a leading manufacturer of eco-friendly, VOC-free paints, stains and varnishes, has introduced Lisa Tharp Colors, a collaboration with award-winning designer, colorist and wellness expert Lisa Tharp.

From automotive components, oil and gas pipelines, agriculture and heavy equipment, to water and wastewater pipelines, industrial liquid coatings have become the high-performance cornerstone to provide superior corrosion protection and reliable mechanical strength.

In all walks of engineering, manufacturing and industrial applications, driving down costs is a key requisite, and remanufacturing is one of the best ways to achieve this. Tony Arana, Southwest Sales Manager for SIFCO ASC explains selective electroplating's role in remanufacturing, and how this technique can build components back to original specifications.
