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.

The ACOMP technique has not only proven to be able to fully monitor research and industrial polymerization processes but has also proven the capability to automatically control polymerization reactions in real time to deliver a polymer that is ‘born characterized’.

Throughout this article we aim to dispel some myths surrounding holidays and pinholes, while also exploring holiday detection and the solutions used to fix these defects.

By using an epoxy curing blanket you can cure and post cure your epoxy at whatever temperature it requires, even if that temperature is really high.

The spectrophotometer enables accurate color measurement of painted surfaces, plastic parts, packaging labels, automotive parts, furnishings and other manufactured goods. Measurements check the visual impression of the color, gloss level and effect of the surface texture.

This article describes the development of siliconized UV light-cured coatings.

The tool accurately predicts the performance of a coating technology - before it has been applied.

Forward-thinking coatings manufacturers are running industry-specific software applications that more effectively manage their formulas and packaging specifications.

The case study presented here illustrates the importance of testing powders under conditions that simulate the process environment.
