Many of today’s products must withstand near-constant use or exposure to the weather. Self-healing paints and coatings are still a relatively niche area of study, but it’s easy to see the widespread appeal. This article highlights the abundant practical applications for formulators and companies to explore.
Built on a 50,000-square-meter site, the 250-bed facility is a green hospital designed according to global healthcare standards. The project required coatings that could stand up to extreme weather, humidity, UV rays, and dirt.
Wherever chemical processes are involved, in order to protect people and the environment the focus is always on process reliability. Pumps are an integral part of the process and play a particularly important role. One company gives an overview of how its double diaphragm pumps are prioritizing performance and failure protection.
The objective of this collaboration was to showcase the performance of sustainable, soy-based coating materials in real-world formulations, comparing them to benchmarks derived from petroleum-based counterparts.
A new technology in advanced light scattering and TiO2 optimization generates a novel universal coatings system for multiple substrates and market segments. This self-build technology maximizes efficiency to the core utility of paint and coatings (opacity) under which all sub-utilities and benefits reside.
Automotive fasteners are tasked with preventing the connected components from becoming dislodged, while also facilitating easy disassembly for servicing or repairs. Nothing poses a greater threat to their efficacy than the accumulation of rust on their surface. Zinc-nickel surface finishing offers a solution that makes minimal contributions to the carbon footprint, thus firmly advancing us along the road to a carbon-emission-free future.
According to the Indian Paint Association (IPA), the paint and coatings industry is set for remarkable expansion, demonstrating a robust, double-digit compound annual growth rate. As the sector continues to grow and evolve, the need for expert 3PL solutions that can offer customized, comprehensive solutions becomes increasingly significant.
Silane-modified polyurethane (SPUR) systems find increasingly extensive utilization in adhesive, sealant, and coating products. This study reports on a novel tin-free catalyst that is shown to be significantly more active than industry-standard catalysts in SPUR applications, while providing similar system stability and other end-use properties.
