Minimizing the colonization of bacteria, mold and mildew in vehicles not only prevents stains and odors, but it also keeps vehicles cleaner, helping to provide peace of mind to the occupants.
While society remains years away from fully autonomous or self-driving cars, the paint and coatings industry is stepping up to best prepare customers for mobility's future.
EOS Biomaterials Incorporated relies on Heraeus R&D equipment to develop coatings for the medical market. The company’s technology can be used for surgical implants and wound treatment.
Thorough cleaning is essential to creating parts with a high-quality, pristine surface that is ready for painting, powder coating or other finishing processes. Vapor degreasing is one of the most energy-efficient and environmentally acceptable choices for parts cleaning and prepping.
One of the most popular high-solids, low-VOC coatings is an epoxy coating. Epoxy coatings are resistant to most chemicals and corrosives, exhibit great adhesion, and have very low porosity. And they're extremely environmentally friendly; because they contain no solvents, they emit virtually no VOCs.
Recent advances have found that besides color, CICPs have properties that give them the ability to address regulatory requirements that give not only color, but functional properties.
Polyester-based adhesion promoters (PEAPs) are a series of modified UP resins that can partially replace the main binders in coatings formulations to improve their adhesion to difficult substrates.
Conversion coatings imbue metals with special properties. These treatments are generally straightforward and open up a plethora of new applications. However, because of the chemical nature of the process, there are caveats to conversion coating that are important to understand.
The development and commercialization of a new silica dispersion provides the fast-growing digital printing segment of packaging and labels with an indirect food contact-compliant product.
