New hydrogen-free diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating technology provides unmatched hardness, smoothness and adhesion for high wear components in super cars, motor bikes and professional motorsports.
When an application calls for surface finishing, cleaning, polishing, deburring, edge blending or removal of paint, rust or other contamination, a wheel brush is often the ideal solution.
This article presents a new family of polymers, which combine vinyl (neo)ester and vinyl alkoxysilane monomers. Variation of process parameters, monomer composition and alkoxysilane levels yielded a series of polymers with solids content between 70 and 100%, and exhibiting a wide range of attractive properties.
At home, in the car, and while shopping, voice-controlled digital assistants have become a part of daily life. In the future, they will also make lab work easier. The first such assistant to specifically help scientists in the coatings industry is here.
The DYNO-MILL UBM truly grinds almost anything. This new generation of agitator bead mills guarantees high flexibility of use, high productivity and a cost-effective solution for all wet-milling tasks.
Coating thickness directly affects product quality, whether for automotive paint, electroplating, anodizing or a wide range of other coating applications.
There are currently two dominant trends in the automotive industry: electric mobility and per-sonalized vehicles. Dürr's EcoPaintJet system for fully automatic car painting in two colors – without masking or overspray – is a perfect fit for this.
It is up to the creative minds of the industry to make use of polysulfide polymer self-healing properties to create uncontested market environments for polysulfide-based sealants, adhesives and coatings, and priceless added value to their customers.
This article provides further insight in how PLA polyols expand the formulator'’s toolbox for the development of coatings with improved key properties such as hardness, adhesion, solvent resistance and fracture toughness.
PCI recently spoke with Terry Hill, CEO of Maroon Group, to learn about the companys recent growth, how the role of distributors has changed over the years, and challenges that the coatings industry faces.
