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.
PTFE is a substance used in all types of coatings to modify total mechanical performance and improve values for scratch resistance and abrasion resistance, while simultaneously lowering surface friction. However, PTFE is a well-known representative of PFAS, which is under increasing global regulation. PTFE-free wax additives are now available, and provide comparable performance with a focus on improving abrasion and scratch resistance.
The European Coil Coating Association
considers UV- / EB-curing technology to be the most significant game changer in terms of decarbonization of the coil coating industry.
PVF technology is the basis of the next generation of protective metal coatings, meeting the needs of demanding environments with best-in-class aesthetic and protective functionality.
In the face of on-going uncertainty in global PVDF (or polyvinylidene difluoride) supply chains, AkzoNobel has launched a campaign to help its partners navigate the changing PVDF landscape.
Architects, fabricators and coaters looking for on-trend coil and extrusion coatings to differentiate their projects are about to get a breath of fresh air.
Designed by Marlon Blackwell Architects, the three of the newest school buildings at the Thaden School in Bentonville, Arkansas, — "Reels," "Wheels" and the performing arts center — feature architectural coil coatings by Sherwin-Williams.
