In the transition from internal combustion engine to battery-powered electric vehicles, many components needed for automotive assembly have changed. Embracing the exceptional qualities of zinc-nickel finishes takes on even greater significance as we serve the transformation underway in the requirements of automotive fasteners within the realm of BEVs.
With a strong commitment to environmental stewardship and resource management, the company has successfully implemented measures that have yielded remarkable results and underscore its dedication to a greener future.
Through the incorporation of such unique benefits as leak-free operation and line-stripping capabilities, the eccentric-disc principle makes the pump extremely flexible, allowing the pumping of low-viscosity, high-viscosity, and highly abrasive materials within a single process — all with the same pump.
There are key characteristics that differentiate legacy, petrochemical surfactants from bio-based surfactants, as well as chemically manufactured bio-surfactants from their biologically created counterparts, bio-surfactants.
Anti-microbial chemistries hold much promise for tackling the persistent problem of mold and mildew growth on roofing materials, keeping them cleaner for longer and, consequently, enhancing product longevity and reducing the amount of wastage entering landfill.
Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division has an ongoing project funded through the Office of Naval Research to develop a novel, corrosion-resistant poly(styrene-co-catechol) tie coat and adhesion promoter to improve CARC adhesion and performance to various composites, aluminum, and steel USMC ground vehicle surfaces.
For those looking to replace PFAS in their coatings formulations, this article discusses some experiments and data that show how organosilicones compare to PFAS compounds in critical performance criteria such as low surface tension/surface energy, COF, water repellency, oil repellency, stain resistance, and chemical stability.
Tailor-made waterborne core-shell polymers are increasingly used as binders in industrial coatings. Almost unlimited possibilities to control polymer properties make them the first-choice raw material in industrial metal protection, wood protection, and anti-fouling coatings.
This month’s Formulating with Mike columncontinues the focus on resins. Mike tests paints with APE-containing and APE-free emulsions for stability, particle size, and final paint quality.
