Working closely with employees at facilities in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, and Cedartown, Georgia, the new EHS Manager will promote a healthy, safe work environment in support of providing high-performing industrial coating solutions to customers.
Responding to increasing demands for innovative coating solutions, Hempel’s new production facilities in Zhangjiagang substantially enhance capacity to better serve marine, energy and infrastructure customers.
Plasma pre-treatment is a crucial step for improving the quality and durability of automotive assemblies and components. It enhances the adhesion and compatibility of different materials that are used for encapsulation, printing, or painting processes. By applying plasma to the surface of low-energy materials, it removes contaminants and creates functional groups that increase the surface energy and reactivity.
The mining industry has long been an important sector of the global economy, providing the raw materials necessary for various products, from electronics to infrastructure. However, mining operations can be incredibly damaging to the environment, negatively impacting local ecosystems and communities. Mark Dorgan, Technical & Sales Manager at SIFCO ASC, discusses how the industry can minimize its impact through selective brush plating.
EPS and GIT have partnered to add propeller coatings across EPS' fleet. The extensive application will maximize vessel performance with GIT’s eco-friendly, highly durable, and ultra-low friction foul-release coating.
In current practical applications, the classification of attapulgite clay is mainly based on its functions and uses. Colloidal attapulgite clay, combined with other soft clays and suitable additives, can be used in thin-layer coatings such as EPC coatings for casting, anti-corrosion coatings at certain high temperatures, insulation coatings, and anti-oxidation coatings.
Digitalization is transforming many industries. How do paint and coatings suppliers effectively leverage digitalization? What are the pivotal strategic shifts required to succeed in the digital age? What synergies can be unlocked between digital innovation and legacy processes?
In 2019, the coatings industry did not anticipate any problems surrounding raw material supplies and availability. Then COVID and the global supply chain crisis hit. This article offers an analysis of the current and future outlook of the raw materials market, highlighting lingering issues with raw material production, pricing, transportation, and delivery.
Increased regulatory scrutiny of lead, chromium, and zinc is driving the migration to heavy-metal-free corrosion inhibitors. In this article, several water-based resin technologies were selected to demonstrate the performance of heavy-metal-free corrosion inhibitors versus their zinc-containing counterparts.
