An MDI-based pre-polymer supports corrosion-resistant polyurethane primers with strong durability, chemical resistance and flexibility in one- and two-component systems.
The South Coast Air Quality Management District announced its next working-group meeting for Proposed Amended Rule 1107, part of ongoing rule development activities.
From the sheen of automotive chrome trim to the enduring strength of steel fasteners, metallic coatings are an often overlooked area of the coatings industry. Discover how metallic coatings not only enhance the aesthetic appeal and durability of everyday objects, but also introduce unique superpowers like atomic-scale surface leveling and inherent anti-bacterial properties.
The new coatings use an electron beam or ultra-violet energy to convert a liquid coating into a fully cured solid finish in seconds, without any significant loss of thickness or weight.
Re-painting a 31-story building is never an easy job. But when that building is also the canvas for what is arguably the largest art piece in the world, the challenges are even greater. A PVDF-based coating was used to protect an iconic building against the passage of time and the sunny, humid, salt-air-laden climate of southern Florida.
Energy-cure coatings are expected to produce revolutionary changes in coil-centered industries, such as building materials, appliances, and HVAC. These advancements will raise the bar for more sustainable, energy-efficient, high-performance solutions, including formulations that offer durability for exterior applications and broader gloss ranges.
