Using GPC it is possible to track changes in the MW of polymer- based inks induced by the printing process. This makes it possible to study the impact of polymer concentration and of printer geometries and operating modes on polymer degradation.

A multifaceted exploratory study was conducted on the Resistance to Iron Chloride Test specified in AMS-C-27725 to better understand the rationale of this corrosion acceleration test required for the integral fuel tank coating systems.

With input from its information technology team, this company implemented digital process automation (DPA) software to customize a solution that would replace not only the paper-and-email project management for the pilot plant and its chemists but also other business processes.

Eliminating manual material handling has some of the biggest potential to improve a company’s productivity, product quality and overall business competitiveness.

Highly sensitive tactile sensors also allow designers to quantify spray pressure data even in applications where extremely low pressures are involved.

The flow point is an important parameter for quality control, as well as for research and development of coatings.

For manufacturers of paint and painted products alike, then, it is important to not only measure both wet and dry samples, but to establish standards for both.

While they only make up a tiny fraction of an end product, trace impurities can make up a large part of consumers’ perceptions.

Retailer paint can labels are used not only for inventory management with SKU, barcode, product name, order number and a variety of variable data, but also to convey the paint’s exact color formulation.

While paint and coatings manufacturers continue to compete to formulate products with the lowest volatile organic compound content possible, metal packaging manufacturers are vying for the highest UN-rated steel pails within the metal packaging industry.
