Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division has an ongoing project funded through the Office of Naval Research to develop a novel, corrosion-resistant poly(styrene-co-catechol) tie coat and adhesion promoter to improve CARC adhesion and performance to various composites, aluminum, and steel USMC ground vehicle surfaces.
For those looking to replace PFAS in their coatings formulations, this article discusses some experiments and data that show how organosilicones compare to PFAS compounds in critical performance criteria such as low surface tension/surface energy, COF, water repellency, oil repellency, stain resistance, and chemical stability.
Tailor-made waterborne core-shell polymers are increasingly used as binders in industrial coatings. Almost unlimited possibilities to control polymer properties make them the first-choice raw material in industrial metal protection, wood protection, and anti-fouling coatings.
The system is ideal for all industrial applications where painting happens in a confined space, and is certified for the European, U.S. and Asian markets.
High-end EV manufacturer SERES equipped a new paint shop with sustainable production processes. Dürr was commissioned to install the plant and exhaust air purification technology, as well as the software.
PPG has partnered with a student organization from the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands to develop the Stella Terra, believed to be the world’s first off-road car powered by the energy of the sun, making it independent of charging stations and paved roads.
The program is designed to attract and train those new to the workforce or provide needed training to experienced individuals seeking to gain industry-recognized credentials.
