Thorough cleaning is essential to creating parts with a high-quality, pristine surface that is ready for painting, powder coating or other finishing processes. Vapor degreasing is one of the most energy-efficient and environmentally acceptable choices for parts cleaning and prepping.
As part of an historic renovation, PPG partnered with Spectrum Metal Finishing to develop and apply a customized powder coating for the historic Philadelphia Bulletin Building's new signature feature, a multistory glass façade on the east elevation.
Recent advances have found that besides color, CICPs have properties that give them the ability to address regulatory requirements that give not only color, but functional properties.
This study examines the effect that white fused alumina, nepheline syenite and silicon carbide have on the abrasion resistance of a powder coating system.
Coatings are an important and commonly overlooked component of that warehousing infrastructure in this growing ecommerce market. As more warehouses turn to robotics and automation to increase efficiency, it's crucial for shelving and racking manufacturers to select coatings that will stand up to the daily wear-and-tear of servicing and managing their inventories.
Our popular Ask Joe Powder blog has made its way to the pages of PCI magazine. What are your powder coating questions and challenges? Joe Powder, aka Kevin Biller of ChemQuest Powder Coating Research, shares his powder coating knowledge and expertise by answering questions sent in from around the world.
Formulations are sometimes adjusted by fine-tuning various additives, including antioxidants and light stabilizers, which provide different thermal and light stabilization properties. It is very important to find the best combination of additives to achieve the necessary performance, especially if the final substrate or area to be powder coated requires specific durability or heat resistance.
