There are several production systems available for companies that require flexibility with tinted paint or tinted products on a daily basis. Among the different tinting production methods is the “in-can” production system - an efficient and economical solution.

The flow point is an important parameter for quality control, as well as for research and development of coatings.

In this study, we evaluate the use of broadband mercury, 385 nm LED and electron beam (EB) curing across a range of different acrylic formulations. The different methods of curing are compared by examining their effect on oxygen inhibition, cure speed and material properties.

For manufacturers of paint and painted products alike, then, it is important to not only measure both wet and dry samples, but to establish standards for both.

While they only make up a tiny fraction of an end product, trace impurities can make up a large part of consumers’ perceptions.

This new technology offers a wide range of new possibilities, improvements, savings and much higher efficiency compared to the traditional dissolver process.

Retailer paint can labels are used not only for inventory management with SKU, barcode, product name, order number and a variety of variable data, but also to convey the paint’s exact color formulation.

While paint and coatings manufacturers continue to compete to formulate products with the lowest volatile organic compound content possible, metal packaging manufacturers are vying for the highest UN-rated steel pails within the metal packaging industry.

The ACOMP technique has not only proven to be able to fully monitor research and industrial polymerization processes but has also proven the capability to automatically control polymerization reactions in real time to deliver a polymer that is ‘born characterized’.

Throughout this article we aim to dispel some myths surrounding holidays and pinholes, while also exploring holiday detection and the solutions used to fix these defects.
