With the continued interest in energy and resource conservation, glass bubbles may provide formulators with another “toolbox” option as they develop the next generation of coatings for the industry.
Specialized PVD coatings can increase surface hardness and durability of precision components such as bearings, gears, and rollers to significantly increase lifespan under high-load conditions.
Veteran personnel at American Safety Technologies are integral to the company's work in marine safety technologies, ensuring every challenge is met with expertise, dedication, and a steadfast commitment to excellence.
The surface finishing industry is no stranger to change. Many companies are looking to reduce costs and improve efficiency throughout 2024, while also placing a heavy focus on technology enhancements and sustainable practices.
This article reviews several reasons for the excellent physical properties of polyurethanes and polyureas, as well as how these reasons differ between the two chemistries. Included, also, is a technology review and benefit/drawback analysis of several of the sub-coating classes, including conventional thin-film coatings as well as 100% solids, thick-film coatings.
Digitalization has the potential to drastically transform the coatings industry, allowing for better knowledge management, accelerated innovation, and improved data security, while reducing product launch time to market. Digital transformation through AI, ML, and PI strives to bring innovative coating solutions in a sustainable, responsible, and accessible way.
