Our August issue focuses on transportation coatings, intelligent binders for marine coatings, trends in UV-cure coatings formulations, and manufacturing and testing equipment.
For the first time in more than 15 years, the USS Turner Joy was out of water. This Vietnam-era destroyer ship was commissioned in 1959, retired in 1982, and has spent its entire existence riding tides on the Pacific Ocean.
In an effort to streamline the production process and increase delivery time, plans were made to renovate the Charleston Boeing Delivery Center into a state-of-the-art aircraft paint facility in 2014.
Paint is a recyclable product, but the disposable methods tend to vary, as different types of paints need to be disposed of in different ways according to the economics of recycling. What you choose to do with your leftover paint establishes whether that paint will go on to have another life or not after you discard it.
This anti-mosquito paint is the only anti-mosquito paint that is approved by the EPA. It is currently approved in Uganda and Zambia and is expected to be available in the U.S. by summer of 2018.
Injection molders are turning to a variety of coatings to protect their investment and reduce maintenance and running costs. These coatings, applied to mold cavities as well as moving, sliding components within the mold, come in a variety of styles from carbonbased coatings, PVD and PACVD deposition to nitriding techniques that share one overriding goal: hardening the surface of the steel to protect it against all manner of abuse.
The real-time insight generated by ACOMP enables polymer manufacturers to immediately respond to process anomalies, adhere to tighter polymer quality control specifications, and optimize polymer production for continuous, batch and semibatch runs.
In this article special emphasis is given to PVD technology and its application for polymeric materials in the automotive and home appliance industries, highlighting cost reduction and improved quality around surface modification of parts.
UV-cure cationic coatings present viable and attractive options to OEMs, polymer coaters, extruders, contract coaters and/or thermoformers to improve functional and/or physical properties for formed polymer film/sheet as well as an effective delivery transport mechanism for new pathogen inhibition and biocidal efficacy technologies.
Polly sat in the lab trying to determine what had botched her reaction. Something in the scale-up had gone terribly wrong, and she needed to find the problem before trying the scale-up again.
IMCD N.V., a distributor of specialty chemicals, has signed an agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of E.T. Horn Co. (HORN), La Miranda, California.
