PCI’s “Did You Know” column has published a wealth of information about redox chemistries for use in emulsion polymerizations. This edition focuses on its use in aqueous-based polymer dispersions.
In order to slow down the erosion of the base metal and help to extend battery life, one company has designed and developed a robotic spray coating process used to apply conductive carbon and graphite coatings to battery current collectors, fuel cells, thin-metal cathode grids used in implantable pacemaker batteries, and other energy storage devices that require low-resistance coatings.
The MLK Center, located in Atlanta, is a place where people can visit the final resting place of Dr. Martin Luther and Coretta Scott King, learn more about Dr. King and his work, and visit the library and archives. The right protective coatings are essential for preserving this landmark.
If you’re in cold weather conditions and a client project just can’t wait, hope isn’t lost. Cold weather painting is possible with proper planning, spot-on preparation, and the right coatings. Read about some things to consider when painting in cold weather.
Veteran personnel at American Safety Technologies are integral to the company's work in marine safety technologies, ensuring every challenge is met with expertise, dedication, and a steadfast commitment to excellence.
The surface finishing industry is no stranger to change. Many companies are looking to reduce costs and improve efficiency throughout 2024, while also placing a heavy focus on technology enhancements and sustainable practices.
The questionable future of BPA and bisphenols in food contact materials has driven the development of new coating technologies. AkzoNobel believes that metal can packaging has advanced to the point where bisphenols of any kind are no longer required to create safe coatings, and is working with the industry to shape change.
This article examines the physical properties of polyurethanes and polyureas, their differences, and a technology review with benefits and drawbacks of sub-coating classes.
House of Kolor®, which is owned by Sherwin-Williams, has introduced a dramatic new color-shifting technology that creates an instantaneous, hard-hitting shift in color without a gray area or mottling in between colors. The new packs contain pearls tightly controlled in thickness, creating uniquely clean effects when applied in layers over black paint.
Digitalization has the potential to drastically transform the coatings industry, allowing for better knowledge management, accelerated innovation, and improved data security, while reducing product launch time to market. Digital transformation through AI, ML, and PI strives to bring innovative coating solutions in a sustainable, responsible, and accessible way.
