Beautiful, historic homes are most-often found in historic districts near city centers. The mission of these historic districts is to preserve homes that sometimes were standing at the city’s founding. But older historic homes can be hard to maintain, and there are many other challenges those homeowners face.
A global supermajor energy client in the Gulf of Mexico needed insulation applied to its flowline and riser pipes. This high-pressure, high-temperature project requried the application of a castable thermal insulation coating, designed for subsea pipelines.
Many of today’s products must withstand near-constant use or exposure to the weather. Self-healing paints and coatings are still a relatively niche area of study, but it’s easy to see the widespread appeal. This article highlights the abundant practical applications for formulators and companies to explore.
The objective of this collaboration was to showcase the performance of sustainable, soy-based coating materials in real-world formulations, comparing them to benchmarks derived from petroleum-based counterparts.
Automotive fasteners are tasked with preventing the connected components from becoming dislodged, while also facilitating easy disassembly for servicing or repairs. Nothing poses a greater threat to their efficacy than the accumulation of rust on their surface. Zinc-nickel surface finishing offers a solution that makes minimal contributions to the carbon footprint, thus firmly advancing us along the road to a carbon-emission-free future.
Silane-modified polyurethane (SPUR) systems find increasingly extensive utilization in adhesive, sealant, and coating products. This study reports on a novel tin-free catalyst that is shown to be significantly more active than industry-standard catalysts in SPUR applications, while providing similar system stability and other end-use properties.
A recently launched thermal insulative coating system from the company earned a Gold Emerging Technology Award for the 2024 Global Tank Storage Awards.
Taking the time to implement effective safety measures in paint and coatings production is not just a legal duty. It’s also an ethical imperative that shows workers you care about their welfare. Not to mention that fewer accidents tend to maximize productivity and efficiency. Read about what safety measures are important areas to focus on.
