Is there a particle size that would lend itself to consistency of film thickness on wire assemblies? Can an e-coated vehicle shell be shipped overseas and painted at the destination?The ChemQuest Group’s Joe Powder shares his powder coating knowledge and expertise by answering questions sent in from around the world.
Building information modeling (BIM) is revolutionizing the way professionals in many aspects of the building industry do their jobs, including those involved in industrial coating. Learn more about BIM software, its benefits, and how it is transforming the coating process.
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.
