Nano-clean is a proactive maintenance program that considerers the optimum strategy to control the spread of infectious disease.

MFG Chemical's new President and CEO discusses his background and his first several months on the job, as well as the new protocols and changes MFG rolled out since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Inhibispheres are a new class of corrosion inhibitors for powder coatings. Inhibispheres utilize a sustained release technology based on corrosion inhibitor microencapsulation via a silica matrix.

Utilizing digital color management in powder coatings eliminates data silos, ultimately resulting in faster, more-accurate matching. Digital color management gives manufacturers confidence in their color quality, knowing they have obtained it quickly and cost effectively.

By definition, additives are added in small quantities, often less than one point percent, to re-inforce selected chemical or physical properties of the finished paint. The powder coatings sector is no exception, and has some limitations that are intrinsic to the technology itself, which are linked to the physical state of the paint before application on the piece to be painted.

This work demonstrated that using NCMPO emulsions can allow formulators to bond to low-surface-energy substrates and high-surface-energy substrates.

Surface preparation is essential to achieving a superior finish. Vapor degreasing using modern, highly advanced cleaning fluids makes the process simple, consistent and sustainable and results in spotlessly clean parts. This article looks at the process and why it is one of the most comprehensive and effective cleaning methods to achieve an excellent surface for finishing.

PCI recently spoke with Steve Ridge, Senior VP Supply Chain and Manufacturing at Elementis, to get his views on the company's experiences, challenges and successes during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as their outlook for the market and business strategies moving forward.

To design an emulsion polymer with improved and balanced performance in the interior paint segment, Arkema has identified both polymer and formulation drivers to improve three performance targets

FEVE powder-based topcoats can provide weatherability, corrosion resistance and environmental benefits when used in exterior architectural coatings applications.
