The carbon dioxide-based hardcoats developed in this project offer a unique balance of properties that make them viable alternatives to existing hardcoat technologies, in particular for substances such as thermoplastic polycarbonate.
A method to improve the hiding power of latex coatings by using a phosphate ester-based reactive surfactant and, thereby, reduce TiO2 usage is also discussed.
The unique hybrid chemistry of oxidizable phenolic-based urethanes combines the drying property of fast-drying oeloresinous vehicles, the chemical resistance of phenolics and the toughness of urethanes.
A century after the first industrial production with the sulfate process and 60 years after the birth of the chloride process, the AT process brings a new facet to this industry.
Xenon arc instruments provide realistic weathering testing to determine the long-term effects of sunlight, heat and moisture on the efficiency and functionality of rotor blade coatings.
Custom pressure and flow valve components are machined using proprietary tooling to achieve one-directional striations along with all thread-milled internal threads to assure tight sealing.
