Custom powder coat colors appeal to customers by allowing them to create desired hues that personalize their furniture, building accents, cars or other items. What should professionals know to get the best results with their colorful creations?
Electrostatic application has increased transfer efficiency compared to airless spraying, resulting in reductions in overspray and waste, which, combined with low-VOC emissions, can provide a cleaner operation for applicators.
By recapturing and reprocessing components from unused inventory bound for disposal, rather than manufacturing with virgin raw materials, the carbon footprint of the recycled paint is reduced by up to 60% compared to paint products equal in quality and formulation.
Linetec provided architectural aluminum product manufacturers with a textured terra cotta specialty coating for aluminum, providing the desired, natural clay-colored appearance and stone-like texture with the advantages of metal and fluoropolymer (PVDF) coatings.
The epoxy resin market size was estimated at USD 11.85 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 12.65 billion in 2024. At a CAGR of 6.76%, it is expected to reach USD 18.74 billion by 2030. The development of the epoxy resin market faces several limitations and challenges, such as volatility of raw material prices, stringent environmental regulations, and sensitivity to external conditions.
The energy-efficient, cost-effective way to convert the greenhouse gas into a wide range of chemical feedstock, spearheaded by NUS scientists, achieves cost reduction of about 30%.
New high-barrier, mono-material packaging offers the same packaging and process performance as the multi-material structure commonly used for dry pet food, but is also fully recyclable.
The textile coatings market is witnessing substantial growth. Technological advancements are driving the demand for textile coatings in various end-use industries such as transportation, building and construction, protective clothing, industrial, medical, and other industries.
Using coatings and composites can revolutionize the maritime industry by simultaneously reducing capital expenditure and greenhouse gas emissions. In a case study to reduce propellor cavitation, a super metal coating was used to build up the worst affected areas, and then a super metal glide coating was brush applied to provide overall protection.
Wherever different paint colors are applied in small quantities, such as in the construction, woodworking, plastics or automotive supplier industries, a paint supply system that targets sustainable production processes and resource efficiency can help recover unused paint, minimizing rinsing agent consumption and speeding up color changes.
