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.
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.
Beckers is the first coil coatings company to commit to net-zero emissions by 2050. While the company reduced its absolute CO2e emissions in its own operations (Scope 1 and 2) by 51% between 2013 and 2023, more than 98% of the company’s emissions result from customers and suppliers (Scope 3).
The independent provider of hot-dip galvanizing and coil coating solutions announced it has authorized a third quarter cash dividend in the amount of $0.17 per share.
AkzoNobel’s Coil and Extrusion Coatings business has signed a strategic agreement with the hi-tech specialists to develop a pioneering process that uses electron beams to cure coatings on metal substrates.
Henkel’s chromium-free pretreatment agents Bonderite M-NT 1455T, M-NT 1456, and M-NT 10456 are used for coil coating for customers in various sectors, such as architecture.
The company's Color of the Year 2024, Sweet Embrace™, offers an opportunity for architects, fabricators, and coaters in the architecture and domestic appliances markets to differentiate their projects and provide a warm, calm, and liberating environment for their customers amid changing times.
Can UV/EB technology serve as a sustainable solution to the energy crisis? This article examines the factors driving UV/EB technology, supported by case studies demonstrating how it enables innovative manufacturing processes that consume less energy, yet also meet or exceeds air quality standards without requiring add-on pollution controls.
During an awards reception to be held June 26, George Pilcher, Vice President, and David Cocuzzi, Vice President, will be honored by ASTM D01 Committee on Paint and Related Coatings, Materials, and Applications.
