In the past, industrial furniture was generally sold without any protective coating. Due to the rapidly growing demand for color-coated products, one company initially had the furniture‘s shot blasting and powder coating done by external job shops. However, in oder to better control the blasting and coating operations, it created its own in-house coating department.
As the paint and coatings industry grows, there are ample opportunities for entrepreneurs to start a painting business. Whether you choose to go the franchising route or start a business from scratch, there are various factors to consider before making the big move.
As large businesses continue to assess their environmental impact and become more transparent about their long-term goals for greener daily operations, eco-conscious technology is making its way to the forefront of the manufacturing industry.
As one of the world’s biggest polluters, the textiles industry needs an urgent sustainability transformation. To make circularity a reality, the coated textiles value chain needs to work together on end-to-end solutions – from more sustainable raw materials to textile recycling technologies.
To add to the pursuit of a climate-neutral Europe and a truly circular economy, one company’s project develops and validates a new generation of industrial wood and decorative coatings with significantly more than 25% bio-based components.
With the continued interest in energy and resource conservation, glass bubbles may provide formulators with another “toolbox” option as they develop the next generation of coatings for the industry.
Specialized PVD coatings can increase surface hardness and durability of precision components such as bearings, gears, and rollers to significantly increase lifespan under high-load conditions.
Polycaprolactone (PCL) polyols can be used to enhance coatings that feature other polymer chemistries in both 1K and 2K coatings. This article explores the performance benefits achieved when low-molecular-weight PCL tri- and tetra-functional polyols are blended with other hydroxyl-functional polymers in 2K coatings.
This study comprehensively evaluated novel, ultra-low-VOC 1K and 2K waterborne floor-coating systems designed to provide eco-friendly, lower-VOC alternatives to traditional solvent-based coatings. The materials employed in these innovative systems showed remarkable performance when subjected to industry-standard tests.
