The Carbon Motors ‘E7’ law enforcement vehicle will be the world’s first
car with a 100% paintfilm thermoplastic exterior developed with Fluorex®
Paintfilm from Soliant, LLC.
Often called “cool paints,” these pigments are
designed to provide a specific color in the visible light range while
reflecting incident light in the near-infrared (NIR) range of the spectrum.
This work demonstrates that evaluating coatings on non-porous substrates
like vinyl charts that resist wetting by moisture makes it more difficult for
fungi to proliferate on the coating surfaces, and therefore using them for
testing may over estimate the performance of a coating.
A novel low-VOC polyester hybrid green polymeric
technology was designed and developed by applying the principles of
sustainability and renewable “green” materials.
