Greater awareness of phenomena that occur on a nanometric scale and subsequent testing (both in application and synthesis of polymers) have led to the development of new materials with better performance characteristics than the traditional ones, with full respect for the environment.
The results of this study can offer significant performance gains in formulating high-solids, high-build epoxy coatings. This is particularly important in regions where VOC emissions must be reduced significantly.
Functional coatings are an exciting and viable means to remove indoor air contaminants due to the significant surface area that walls, ceilings, doors and floors provide as a "vehicle" to degrade VOCs.
This article was prepared in an effort to assist in this decision-making process and to help end users understand the newer technology and to know the common differences between the traditional three-layer coating system and the latest polyurethane coating technology.
Recently introduced industrial chiller systems incorporate a significant series of hardware, software, material usage and design improvements. The combination of improvements in each of these domains has led to a significant overall performance improvement for this type of equipment.
UV cationic coatings present a viable and attractive option to OEMs, sheet metal mills and formable sheet metal fabricators for precoated deep draw steels to present-day conventional sheet metal forming, bending, stamping and/or fabrication operations that require secondary conventional industrial conformal coatings processing, as well as an effective delivery transport mechanism for new pathogen inhibition and biocidal efficacy technologies.
The adhesion/corrosion balance of the previous study yielded significant new insights into resin design. Polymers with good wet adhesion and good corrosion resistance could be isolated, and those properties correlated back to their monomer compositions and particle morphologies.
Smart materials are becoming an important part of our future, and in many cases they are right under (or above) our noses today. Every-day examples range from your child’s forehead thermometer to your sunglass frames.
