Agricultural equipment is constantly exposed to tough climate and weather conditions. This article introduces a custom-engineered, continuous-feed spinner hanger blast machine that is making a significant contribution towards this goal.
The utilization of hydrophilic coatings offers numerous advantages, including enhanced biocompatibility, lubricity, durability, corrosion resistance, and antifouling properties. This type of coating is used across diverse industries, including medical devices, automotive, aerospace, marine, optical, and consumer goods.
Bio-based coatings encompass a broad product category. They use natural resources such as essential oils, foods, and forest products to perform comparably to those typically derived from fossil fuels. This article discusses bio-based materials in the coatings market and offers insights about future developments.
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 launch is part of PPG’s new Advanced Surface Technologies, a new joint venture formed with entrotech, Inc., a provider of technology-driven film solutions.
PTFE is a substance used in all types of coatings to modify total mechanical performance and improve values for scratch resistance and abrasion resistance, while simultaneously lowering surface friction. However, PTFE is a well-known representative of PFAS, which is under increasing global regulation. PTFE-free wax additives are now available, and provide comparable performance with a focus on improving abrasion and scratch resistance.
Abrasion is one of the most important defects that deteriorates the durability of coatings. The goal of the research presented in this article was to achieve a good understanding of the effects of coating additives on the abrasion resistance of waterborne coatings.
Unwanted graffiti can plague municipalities, businesses, and communities. One pole product manufacturer has converted to a one-coat antigraffiti system that offers a simpler coating process, protects the substrate, and is easier for municipalities to maintain.
C1-C5 are classifications used to describe the level of corrosion resistance required for aggressive environments and applications. The company's latest test results prove that its sustainable corrosion inhibitors can reach C5 levels of heavy metal and chromate-free corrosion protection in coatings.
Held at Espaço Vila dos Ipês, in São Paulo, the “Oscars" of the Brazilian paint sector, as it is fondly known, was presented by master of ceremony, Juliana Franceschi and the CEO of Paint & Pintura, Agnelo De Barros Neto.
