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.

This article examines the environmental benefits of long-life coatings, including a comparison study of the carbon footprint of a fluoropolymer powder coating versus a solvent-based coating.
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.
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.
Inhibispheres are a new class of corrosion inhibitors for powder coatings. Inhibispheres utilize a sustained release technology based on corrosion inhibitor microencapsulation via a silica matrix.
